THE TORAH

EXODUS

SHEMOT

The book of Exodus, known as Shemot in Hebrew, is the second book of the Torah. It continues the narrative of the Israelites’ journey and their development as a nation after the book of Genesis.

The book of Exodus chronicles the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, the revelation of the Ten Commandments and the establishment of the covenant at Mount Sinai, and the journey towards the Promised Land. It highlights the leadership of Moses, the miracles performed by G-d, and the development of the Israelite nation as a chosen people.

Relationship Among Men and Treatment of Animals Starts in Exodus Chapter 21

G-d’s Commandments as a Whole is Ten and in Detail is Six Hundred and Thirteen

If you are a Christian and has not been knowing Christianity’s core teaching or doctrine, in its subtlety it may appear to be bringing you to G-d. But the truth, it is the exact opposite.

Roman soldiers, cross & Mount Calvary alone are never elements of Hebrew or Jewish practice.

Paul in all his epistles promotes to go away and set aside all of G-d’s Commandments; including observance and celebration that G-d Himself had ordained.

“The Civil Law”

And these are the ordinances that you shall place before them:
21:1
If you buy a Jewish bondsman, he shall work for six years; and in the seventh he shall go free, for no charge.
:2
One who strikes a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death.
:12
But for one who had not lain in ambush and God had caused it to come to his hand, I shall provide you a place to which he shall flee.
:13
One who strikes his father or mother shall surely be put to death.
:15
One who curses his father or mother shall surely be put to death.
:17
But if there shall be a fatality, then you shall award a life for a life;
:23
an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot;
:24
a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, a bruise for a bruise.
:25
If an ox shall gore a man or a woman and he shall die, the ox shall surely be stoned; its flesh may not be eaten and the owner of the ox shall be innocent.
:28
But if it was an ox that gores habitually from yesterday and the day before yesterday, and its owner had been warned but did not guard it, and it killed a man or woman, the ox shall be stoned and even its owner shall die.
:29
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep or goat, and slaughter it or sell it, he shall pay five cattle in place of the ox, and four sheep in place of the sheep.
:37

1 And these are the ordinances that you shall set before them.
2 Should you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall work [for] six years, and in the seventh [year], he shall go out to freedom without charge.
3 If he comes [in] alone, he shall go out alone; if he is a married man, his wife shall go out with him.
4 If his master gives him a wife, and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out alone.
5 But if the slave says, “I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go free,”
6 his master shall bring him to the judges, and he shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
7 Now if a man sells his daughter as a maidservant, she shall not go free as the slaves go free.
8 If she is displeasing to her master, who did not designate her [for himself], then he shall enable her to be redeemed; he shall not rule over her to sell her to another person, when he betrays her.
9 And if he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her according to the law of the daughters [of Israel].
10 If he takes another [wife] for himself, he shall not diminish her sustenance, her clothing, or her marital relations.
11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go free without charge, without [payment of] money.
12 One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.
13 But one who did not stalk [him], but God brought [it] about into his hand, I will make a place for you to which he shall flee.
14 But if a man plots deliberately against his friend to slay him with cunning, [even] from My altar you shall take him to die.
15 And one who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
16 And whoever kidnaps a man and sells him, and he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death.
17 And one who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
18 And if men quarrel, and one strikes the other with a stone or with a fist, and he does not die but is confined to [his] bed,
19 if he gets up and walks about outside on his support, the assailant shall be cleared; he shall give only [payment] for his [enforced] idleness, and he shall provide for his cure.
20 And should a man strike his manservant or his maidservant with a rod, and [that one] die under his hand, he shall surely be avenged.
21 But if he survives for a day or for two days, he shall not be avenged, because he is his property.
22 And should men quarrel and hit a pregnant woman, and she miscarries but there is no fatality, he shall surely be punished, when the woman’s husband makes demands of him, and he shall give [restitution] according to the judges’ [orders].
23 But if there is a fatality, you shall give a life for a life,
24 an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot,
25 a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, a bruise for a bruise.
26 And if a man strikes the eye of his manservant or the eye of his maidservant and destroys it, he shall set him free in return for his eye,
27 and if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or the tooth of his maidservant, he shall set him free in return for his tooth.
28 And if a bull gores a man or a woman and [that one] dies, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, and the owner of the bull is clear.
29 But if it is a [habitually] goring bull since yesterday and the day before yesterday, and its owner had been warned, but he did not guard it, and it puts to death a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and also its owner shall be put to death,
30 insofar as ransom shall be levied upon him, he shall give the redemption of his soul according to all that is levied upon him.
31 Or if it gores a young boy or a young girl, according to this ordinance shall be done to him.
32 If the bull gores a manservant or a maidservant, he shall give silver [in the amount of] thirty shekels to his master, and the bull shall be stoned.
33 And if a person opens a pit, or if a person digs a pit and does not cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
34 the owner of the pit shall pay; he shall return money to its owner, and the dead body shall be his.
35 And if a man’s bull strikes his friend’s bull and it dies, they shall sell the live bull and divide the money received for it, and they shall also divide the dead body.
36 Or if it was known that it was a [habitually] goring bull since yesterday and the day before yesterday, and its owner does not watch it, he shall surely pay a bull for a bull, and the dead body shall be his.
37 If a man steals a bull or a lamb and slaughters it or sells it, he shall pay five cattle for the bull or four sheep for the lamb.

TORAH

(Law)

The book of Bereishit (“In the Beginning”), also known as Genesis, is the first book of the Torah and the Christian Old Testament. It tells the story of the creation of the world, the first humans and their descendants, and the formation of the Hebrews to the Israelites. The book traces the lineages of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, and includes accounts of notable events such as the Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Bereishit also explores the relationship between humans and G-d, as well as themes of faith, obedience, and divine providence. It lays the foundation for many key beliefs and practices in Jewish and Christian theology, and is still studied and revered by believers around the world today.

Shemot (“Names”), also known as Exodus, is the second book in the Hebrew Bible. It tells the story of how the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt and how G-d worked through Moses to deliver them from slavery. The book begins with the birth of Moses and his call from G-d to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Despite their many challenges, including the infamous plagues, the Israelites were ultimately delivered from Egypt and given the Torah (Ten Commandments) at Mount Sinai. The book concludes with the construction of the Tabernacle, a portable tent-like structure that became the center of Jewish worship. Shemot (Exodus) is a powerful narrative about G-d’s power, justice, and faithfulness, and it plays an important role in Jewish tradition and belief, and Christians alike.

Vayikra (“And G-d Called”) commonly known as Leviticus is the third book of the Torah. It predominantly focuses on the laws related to the offerings and sacrifices that the Israelites were supposed to make in the sanctuary. The book also outlines the various responsibilities and duties of the Kohanim (Priests) and Levites. Vayikra begins with G-d summoning Moses to the tent of meeting and instructing him about the different types of offerings, including burnt offerings, grain offerings, peace offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings. The book stresses the importance of atonement and purifying oneself before approaching G-d. It also speaks about the consequences of disobedience and the blessings that result from obedience to G-d’s commands. Leviticus (Vayikra) provides important insights into the Israelites’ religious practices and beliefs, reflecting deep reverence and connection to G-d.
The book of Numbers, Bamidbar in Hebrew (“In the Wilderness”) is the fourth book of the Torah and it primarily deals with the Israelites’ journeys in the wilderness and the period of 40 years during which they wandered in the desert. The book is named “Numbers” because it records two censuses of the Israelites taken by Moses, one at the beginning and one at the end of the 40-year period. The book also tells of numerous challenges and rebellions faced by Moses and the Israelites, including the story of the 12 spies sent to check out the Promised Land, the rebellion of Korah against Moses’ leadership, and the complaints of the Israelites about their hardships in the wilderness. Through all of these events, the book of Numbers emphasizes the importance of trusting G-d’s guidance and follows the Israelites as they prepare to finally enter and conquer the Promised Land.
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
