2/22/2018

By Richard Sison | 2018

Introduction

The Parsha for this week is about T’rumah, which means gift in Hebrew language. The parsha covers Exodus 25:1-27:19. The word gift or gifts were mentioned 112 times 104 verses in King James Bible. In New Testament, it was mentioned 61 times in 56 verses. In this topic, we will be dealing with the gift or gifts as mentioned in the Brit Chadasha and it is amazing how the translation was simplified when the original writings mean something else.

And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the L-RD our G-d, as he hath commanded us.

Deuteronomy 6:25

It is the first word in the Parsha and it is the seventh weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. It covers the passages between Genesis 28:10–32:3.

It recounts Jacob's dream of a ladder to heaven, Jacob's encounter of Rachel at the well, Jacob's time working for Laban and living with Rachel and Leah, the birth of Jacob's children, and the departure of Jacob's family from Laban.

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If G-D will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, so that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the L-RD be my G-d: And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be G-d's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
