This is a gospel-oriented Torah study guide. Our goal is to connect the good news of Yeshua the Messiah (the gospel message) to its Hebraic, pro-Torah roots or foundations. The information given here is more than head knowledge. Understanding and wisdom (the right application of knowledge that is based on truth) is taught thus making biblical truth practical, relevant and applicable to your daily life. The truths of the Bible not only have the power to transform your life here and now for the better, but eventually to take you past the veil of death and into eternity.
This Torah study is subdivided in sections by topic in a magazine format thus making it easy to watch at several sittings. May you be blessed as you watch this video.

Hmmm. I just now noticed this…
This week’s reading include Chapter 49
We know that chapters and verses were established by man.
So it *may be just a “coincidence” that chapter 49 givess the blessinigs to the sons of Jacob/Israel; however, I do not think it is a coincidence the individual Hebrrw letters of the names of the 12 sons total 49 letterrs
Nathan,
In your Torah outline you write:
“… theTorah scroll fails to place the customary nine spaces between the last word of the previous Parashah and the first word of the present one.”
I am not aware of any such spacing.
Could you please expound on this in some further detail? TY
This is evident when you look at an actual Masoretic Torah Scroll. It will not appear in our English Bibles, Hebrew-English Interlinears. I have an ArtScroll Tikkun—Torah Readers’ Compendium (as well as several printed Torah scrolls) in my library. The Tikkun is a large book that shows the actual Torah scroll page on one side with the English translation and commentary notes on the facing page. The nine dots along with the commentary pointing them out are found in this book which is what an actual Torah scroll would look like. As far as expounding any more on the significance of lack of the nine spaces, I don’t have any more information. (For more on this, please reference the ArtScroll Kestenbaum Edition Tikkun, p. 115.)
TY!
John 21:11: 153 fish in the net?
Yannes and Yambres are identified in Targum Jonathan as sons of Bal’am and were the magicians in Pharaoh’s court who tried to equal the feats of Moshe in Exodus. They were among the “mixed multitude” that followed the Israelites out of Egypt and were instigators of the Golden Calf debacle.
Blessings, John
