Priests [N158-N171]
Mitzvah N158: Leviticus 21:7 - A Cohen may not marry a harlot, zonah
v.7 “A woman that is harlot, or profaned, they shall not take; and a woman (that is) put away from her husband they shall not take; for he is holy unto Elohayu (his El).”
Profaned:
1 Tim. 1:8-11 “But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the lawless and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed Elohim, with which I have been entrusted.”
Those who profane (break) the Law of Life have no place in the Marriage of the Lamb, for the work of the profaned is against the Law of Life, unless this practice is removed (repented) from their hearts.
They shall not take a woman that is harlot, or profaned:
The Spirit minded shall not take the unclean spirit (woman) of harlotry, for he has the Spirit of purity in his heart. The work of harlotry is against the Law of Life so likewise with the profaned who breaks the Law of Life.
A woman that is put away from her husband they shall not take:
A woman (unclean spirit) who plays the harlotry (the work of lawlessness) is put away by her husband (the spirit of truth) who seeks the words of wisdom and purification from all the works of filthiness, so the unclean spirit cannot be taken to the priesthood of holiness (Kingdom of Righteousness where only those who repent of their evil practices/sins can be sanctified thru the Blood of our Messiah and keep His commandments of Life.
He is holy unto Elohayu (his El):
Once he is called out of the kingdom of lawlessness, he becomes a servant of His holiness because of his sanctification from all the works of lawlessness. Therefore we, the Spirit minded, must serve Him in His holiness forever and ever. Elohayu (See P1) is meant his El in Hebrew.
A Cohen (priest) may not marry a harlot, zonah (N158):
No work of harlotry can be accepted to the Priesthood of His holiness, for the Marriage of the Lamb is for all those who do the works of His holiness. Those who were the workers of ignorance, the workers of harlotry, the workers of wickedness, workers of lawlessness, but now are called out of the evil practices by their heart change for the sake of His righteousness and have their places in His Kingdom of Light. All the works of wickedness (harlotry) must be destroyed completely before we can become His servants of Light.
Mitzvah N159: Leviticus 21:7 - A Cohen marry not a woman profaned from the Priesthood
v.7 “A woman that is harlot, or profaned, they shall not take; and a woman (that is) put away from her husband they shall not take; for he is holy unto Elohayu (his El).”
A Cohen (priest) marry not a woman profaned from the Priesthood (N159):
No profane practicers can be accepted to the Marriage of the Lamb, our eternal Priest, unless they repent of their works of wickedness and obey Him in all the Law of Righteousness thru the washing of His blood in their hearts.
Mitzvah N160: Leviticus 21:7 - A Cohen may not marry a divorcee
v.7 “A woman that is harlot, or profaned, they shall not take; and a woman (that is) put away from her husband they shall not take; for he is holy unto Elohayu (his El).”
A Cohen (priest) may not marry a divorcee (N160):
No divorcee who does the practice of breaking her/his oath of the marriage of life. Those who break their oaths from the Priesthood of Life have no place in the Kingdom of Life. To divorce someone is to stop serving him. Matt. 25:40 “The King will answer and say to them, "Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.” Whoever does the work of divorce to his or her spouse, he/she is also the break of His eternal Marriage of Life where there is a Law of Life and the work of divorce is like the work of death of marriage. Let us, the servants of His unity, live in His Marriage of our Lamb forever.
Mitzvah N161: Leviticus 21:14 - Cohen haGadol may not marry a widow
v.14 “A widow, or one divorced, or a profaned (woman or) a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take (to) wife.”
These shall he not take: a widow, or one divorced, or a profaned woman or a harlot:
The Spirit minded shall not take the unclean spirit (woman) who does the works of widowhood, divorce, profane, and harlotry which are of the works of lawlessness, for the Spirit minded has the Spirit of cleanness received from the above in his heart where the is a Law of His Holiness protected against the works of lawlessness. The widowhood is the work of loneliness and isolated from the work of His marriage of Life because of the death of her spouse (fleshly work). The divorce is the work of death of marriage. The profane is the work of trespassing the Law of Life. The harlotry is the work of uncleanness.
His own people:
His own people is the children of His sanctification separating from the kingdom of mortality (lawlessness). First, we come to our fleshly births out of the kingdom of darkness, then we repent out of the works of darkness by our Spirit births into His Kingdom of Light.
A virgin of his own people shall he take to wife:
The Spirit minded shall take (accept) the Word of purity (a virgin) of His own Kingdom where all His people serve YHWH in His holiness. All those who are sanctified thru the Blood of our Messiah are in the Marriage of the Lamb eternally, for they obey the commandments of His perfection.
Cohen (priest) haGadol (the high) may not marry a widow (N161):
Yahushua the Messiah Our High priest looks at the repentant hearts that separate from the kingdom of widowhood (death of mortality). We, the Spirit filled, His bride is prepared for His Bridegroom at the eternal Wedding (Kingdom of holiness). All the fleshly minded are the workers of widowhood losing what is mortal, but the sanctified people are His children of immortality (holiness).
Mitzvah N162: Leviticus 21:15 - Cohen haGadol may not take a widow as a concubine
v.15 “And he shall not profane his seed among his people; for I am YHWH who sanctify him.”
He shall not profane his seed among his people:
The Spirit minded shall not profane (dishonor) the Word that is planted in his heart like YHWH is faithful in His Word among His chosen ones.
I am YHWH who sanctify him:
John 17: 18-19 “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.”
Once you are called out of the kingdom of darkness to become the children of His holiness, you shall be sanctified to YHWH always as long as you keep His Law of Life and seek the truths from above.
Cohen (priest) haGadol (the high) may not take a widow as a concubine (N162):
Yahushua the Messiah our High priest only looks for the sanctified hearts that are separated from the kingdom of widowhood (death of mortality) and concubine (service to mortality). The concubine is a mistress serving the wife like Hagar served Sarah the wife of Abraham, for the concubine is the bondwoman and the wife is the freewoman (Gal 4:30-31). Let us cast out all the works of bondwoman which is of mortality and keep all the works of free woman (Sarah) which are sanctified by Him because we obey His commandments of holiness.
Mitzvah N163: Leviticus 10:6 - Cohen with disheveled hair may not enter the Sanctuary
v.6 “And Moshe said unto Aharon, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons: (The hairs of) your heads let not go loose, and neither your clothes rend, that ye die not, and that He be (not) wroth with all the congregation; but (let) your brethren, the whole house of Yisrael, bewail the burning which YHWH hath kindled.”
Ithamar:
Ex. 38:21"This is the number of the things for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were numbered according to the command of Moshe, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aharon the priest"
Ithamar is one of the priests charged in the services of the Levites as to number the things of holiness for the tabernacle. His spiritual role is to supervise all what is numbered in your spiritual work as to what is commanded out of His tabernacle of holiness, where His Levitical priesthood is placed in your sanctified mind/heart to know more about His Law of Life.
The hairs of the heads let not go loose:
Luke 12:7 “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.”; Acts 27:34 “Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish.”.
Not one of the hairs is loosened from the Head of Messiah as we, the children of His holiness, are numbered so there is not one of us loosened from His Kingdom forever.
Neither your clothes rend, that ye die not:
If you are clothed with His Righteousness, you shall live forever (die not), but if you are clothed with the clothing with the wickedness, then you die in your sins.
He be not wroth with all the congregation:
YHWH is not wroth with all the congregation (members of the Messiah) if they, the servants of His holiness, obey His commandments of Life. But if those turn away from His commandments and walk in contrary to His Law of Life, they shall receive the punishment of His wrath.
Your brothers:
Gen. 4: 9 “Then YHWH said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
We, the brothers and sisters in the Messiah, are all in one Unity working together in all things. Matt. 25:34-40 “…The King will answer and say to them, "Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.” If we want to serve YHWH, we must be the servants to others when they seek the spiritual foods like when they are hungry, thirst for His Word. Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Whole house of Yisrael:
The whole house of Yisrael is the Body of Messiah, for we are the members of His eternal Kingdom that obey His commandments of Life. No one enters into the Kingdom of heaven but the door which is Yahushua our Messiah, His only beloved Son.
Bewail:
Matt. 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”; Luke 6:25 “Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep."
We, all the people of the earth, shall mourn for our own sins and works of foolishness, for we were the workers of ignorance thru the knowledge of good and evil governed by Satan, the father of lies. Rom: 3:4 “May it never be! Rather, let Elohim be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, “that you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged." Let all the fleshly mind be denied before Him so we may repent of our former sins in order to become the servants of His perfection.
The burning:
All the works of filthiness or wickedness must be burnt (consumed in the fire of purity) before we can be present before Him in His holiness.
Let the whole house of Yisrael bewail the burning which YHWH hath kindled:
Let all of us mourn our former sins that must be burnt completely before we can become the servants of His holiness, for our El is the consuming fire (Heb. 12:29).
Cohen (priest) with disheveled hair may not enter the Sanctuary (N163):
No blemish is found in the Priesthood of His holiness. Yahushua the Messiah is unblemished the Priest of all, for He is the Word of purity. Not one of His commandments is imperfect so we (the imperishable hairs of our Head [Yahushua the Messiah]) can convert to His Kingdom of Life by obeying His holy commandments.
Mitzvah N164: Leviticus 10:6 - Cohen wearing rent garments may not enter Sanctuary
v.6 “And Moshe said unto Aharon, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons: (The hair of) your heads let not go loose, and neither your clothes rend, that ye die not, and that He be (not) wroth with all the congregation; but (let) your brethren, the whole house of Yisrael, bewail the burning which YHWH hath kindled.”
Cohen (priest) wearing rent garment may not enter the Sanctuary (N164):
No worn-out garment is seen in the Kingdom of our holy Priesthood, for Yahushua is our only unblemished Priest in the Kingdom of Light that has the garment (Law) of Righteousness that is never rent forever. We, the Spirit minded, are clothed in His righteousness, serving Him forever.
Mitzvah N165: Leviticus 10:7 - Cohanim leave not Temple courtyard during the service
v.7 “And from the door of the tent of meeting ye shall not go out, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of YHWH is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moshe.”
From the door of the tent of meeting ye shall not go out:
Matt. 25:10-12 “And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Master, open up for us.' But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.'“
Once you are born again into the Body of our Messiah [Tent of meeting], for He is the door of His Kingdom, you shall not go out of it forever.
Lest ye die:
Lest ye go out of His holy Temple, you shall die in your sins, for the Holy Spirit leaves from your heart (temple) when you turn away from the way of Life for the destructive ways/traditions of men, leaving your heart empty for the unclean spirits to possess.
Anointing oil of YHWH is upon you:
The Holy Spirit is the Anointing oil poured out to your heart (temple of holiness) for YHWH is with you as long as you serve Him in all His commandments of Life.
They did according to the word of Moshe:
We, the Spirit filled, do what is commanded of YHWH our El thru the word of Moshe (Law giver) to us, to study/mediate His Law of Life to understand the works of oppositions when we are sanctified to separate from the kingdom of lawlessness.
Cohanim (priests) leave not Temple courtyard during the service (N165):
We, the priests of our High Priest, shall never leave the Temple as the Holy Spirit shall dwell in our hearts of purity forever for we serve Him always. Rev. 1:6 “and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His Elohim and Father to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
Mitzvah N166: Leviticus 21:1 - Common Cohen must not be defiled for dead, except some
v.1 “And YHWH said unto Moshe: Speak unto the priests the sons of Aharon, and say unto them: For the (dead) person shall none defile himself among his people.”
Say unto them:
What is said to us, the Spirit filled, by YHWH our El who gave His Law of Life to Moshe (the Lawgiver), is to pass to all who repents out of the kingdom of lawlessness (mortality). We are His instructions of Life to all those who are awaken out of the kingdom of death.
The dead person:
The one who does the fleshly (dead) works such as hatred, jealousness, greediness, cold-heartedness, lying, cheating, impatience, is the worker of the kingdom of death.
Common Cohen (priest) must not be defiled for dead, except some (N166):
Once we are sanctified to separate from the kingdom of death/defilation, for we are His children of Life (purity). Some fall from their taste of His enlightenment and receipt of His Spirit of Life because of their choking to the worldly things. We cannot serve the two masters, one for mortality and other for immortality, because we know all the works of mortality shall fail, therefore we serve Him in the things of immortality forever.
Mitzvah N167: Leviticus 21:11 - Cohen haGadol may not be under one roof with dead body
v.11 “and unto any dead body he shall not go in, for his father, or for his mother he shall not defile himself.”
Unto any dead body he shall not go in:
The Spirit minded does not associate with the fleshly minded who does the works of death like hatred, jealousness, impatience, etc.
Cohen (priest) haGadol (the high) may not be under one roof with dead body (N167):
Our high priest, Yahushua the Messiah, calls all men to repent their works of death, so they may serve Him in His kingdom of Light. No fleshly minded can come to His Temple of Light unless he is to remove his knowledge of good and evil and receive His excellent knowledge of Righteousness after his sanctification in holiness.
Mitzvah N168: Leviticus 21:11 - Cohen haGadol must not be defiled for any dead person
v.11 “and unto any dead body he shall not go in, for his father, or for his mother he shall not defile himself.”
Cohen (priest) haGadol (the high) must not be defiled for any dead person (N168):
The high priest, Yahushua the Messiah, cannot dwell in the kingdom of the defilement created by the workers of death, for He is of the Kingdom of Light (immortality), not the kingdom of the fleshly minded (mortality), but can call the men out of the kingdom of defilement to repent and come to His kingdom of holiness. The works of His holiness (love, light, righteousness, etc.) are in the opposition of the works of the unholiness (hatred, dark, wickedness, etc.) like when the Light comes, there is no darkness found in it.
Mitzvah N169: Deuteronomy 18:1 - Levites have not part in the division of Yisrael's land
v.1 “The priests the Levites shall not have, even all the tribe of Levi, a portion or an inheritance with Yisrael; the offerings of YHWH made by fire, and His inheritance they shall eat.”
Tribe of Levi:
It is the spiritual ministry of Levi (priesthood) that assist the tribes (nations) of Yisrael (Body of Messiah) thru the teachings of YHWH to understand the works of Light/Righteousness.
The Levites shall not have a portion or an inheritance with Yisrael:
The Levitical (holy) priesthood cannot be taught among the nations (tribes), for it has been set by His Kingdom of Light given to us thru Moshe, the servant of His Righteousness, so it must dwell in the hearts of purity to learn His Law of Life. Any priesthood other than His Levitical priesthood is the fleshly inheritance (teachings of man) that belongs to the fleshly minded. His holy inheritance is the Law of purity given to those who believe in Him.
The offerings of YHWH made by fire:
All offerings must be consumed by fire to see whether the works of purity are His. We are His offerings daily to consume. All the works of impurity must be perished to nothing, but all the works of purity shall be preserved for His kingdom.
His inheritance they shall eat:
We, the Spirit minded, shall eat (perform) His inheritance (works of righteousness) like love, patience, kindness, goodness.
Levites have not part in the division of Yisrael’s land (N169):
The Levites are His chosen ones who do the works of His holiness to teach all the tribes (nations), therefore they have no division made by the kingdom of fleshly minded as they do their own teachings of impurity.
Mitzvah N170: Deuteronomy 18:1 - Levites share not in the spoils of war
v.1 “The priests the Levites shall not have, even all the tribe of Levi, a portion or an inheritance with Yisrael; the offerings of YHWH made by fire, and His inheritance they shall eat.”
Levites share not in the spoils of war (N170):
The Levites, His chosen ones, are separated from the works of fleshly minded, for the fleshly wars (words of impurity) are against the words of purity. Therefore, we, the Spirit minded, shall not have any spoil of the fleshly minded (words of impurity).
Mitzvah N171: Deuteronomy 14:1 - Not to tear out hair for the dead
v.1 “Ye are children of YHWH Eloheykem (your El): ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.”
Ye shall not cut yourselves:
Once you become His children and the Law of Life is written on your heart and the Knowledge of Righteousness is in your mind (Levitical priesthood). You shall not cut (remove) yourselves from His Kingdom for the works of fleshly minded like you let the Holy Spirit leave from your temple (heart) for other fleshly spirits to come in, otherwise you would be cut off (removed) from His Kingdom.
Not to tear out hair for the dead (N171):
As you are sanctified to separate from the kingdom of death where all mortal men do the works of death (mortality), your hairs are numbered, not loosening for the sake of the death, because you are wholly His child of holiness (cleanness). All the mortal (dead) things belong to the kingdom of death (uncleanness).
