Ki Atem Ovrim et haYarden
/ When You Cross the Jordan
SCRIPTURES should be read first
There are four distinct
circumstances. (a) If a killing was clearly accidental, without carelessness,
then the court would absolve the killer. (b) If a killing was accidental, but
there was defined carelessness, then the killer would be exiled to the nearest
city of refuge until the death of the High Priest. (c) If the killing was
unintentional but there was a high degree of negligence, or if it was
intentional but the circumstances prevented the court from carrying out the
death sentence, the sin would be too serious for exile protection from the
avenger. (d) If the killing was intentional and witnessed, the court would
sentence him to execution. In any case, the killer could flee from the avenger
to a city of refuge until the court decided his fate.
Even though there was less population
on the east side of the Jordan, the land area was as great, and therefore three
cities of refuge were designated for each side.
Psalm
119
The first
eight verses each begin wit the letter aleph. The next eight verses each
begin with the letter bet. The next eight verses each begin wit the
letter gimel. And so on throughout the twenty-two letters of the
alephbet. This Psalm is called the repetition of eight (Talmud: Berachot
4b).
While seven is
the number of the days of creation, the number eight symbolizes the release from
the desires of this mundane world. In this Psalm, David charts the stages of
growth toward spiritual maturity.
Remember that
the apostle Paul taught believers in Yeshua to admonish one another with these
Psalms (Colosians 3:16).
Verses
89-176 (last half Lamed-Tav)
Half way
through our spiritual journey, we have learned the significance of Torah. Each

cried with all my heart; answer me, O Yahweh! I will observe Your statutes (huqim)
commandments without obvious reason.
(V.149) Revive
me, O Yahweh, according to Your judgments (mishpatim) moral laws.
(V.152) Of old
I have known from Your ordinances (edot) festivals and symbolic deeds,

(V.165) Those

stumble.
Here is the
person who is becoming spiritually mature.
Tav

letter of that word, and truth is the ultimate purpose.
(V.169) (Tiqrav

Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments.
John 4
(V.25-26) The woman said to Him, I
know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He
will declare all things to us. Yeshua said to her, I who speak to you am He.
He is the one called the alef and tav (Revelation 22:11). He is
the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
(V.34) Yeshua said to them, My food
is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to accomplish His work. He is the one
who perfectly fulfilled Torah and that does not mean that He abolished it
(Matthew 5:17).
Readings:
Reader 1* Amen 9 Then Yahweh
spoke to Moses, saying, 10 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When
you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 11 then you shall select for
yourselves cities to be your cities of refuge, that the manslayer who has killed
any person unintentionally may flee there. 12 'And the cities shall be to you as
a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer may not die until he stands
before the congregation for trial. 13 'And the cities which you are to give
shall be your six cities of refuge. 14 'You shall give three cities across the
Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they are to be cities of refuge.
Reader 2* Amen 15 'These six
cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel, and for the alien and for the
sojourner among them; that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee
there. 16 'But if he struck him down with an iron object, so that he died, he is
a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. 17 'And if he struck him
down with a stone in the hand, by which he may die, and as a result he died, he
is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. 18 'Or if he struck
him with a wooden object in the hand, by which he may die, and as a result he
died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. 19 'The blood
avenger himself shall put the murderer to death; he shall put him to death when
he meets him.
Reader 3* Amen 20 'And if he
pushed him of hatred, or threw something at him lying in wait and as a result he
died, 21 or if he struck him down with his hand in enmity, and as a result he
died, the one who struck him shall surely be put to death, he is a murderer; the
blood avenger shall put the murderer to death when he meets him. 22 'But if he
pushed him suddenly without enmity, or threw something at him without lying in
wait, 23 or with any deadly object of stone, and without seeing it dropped on
him so that he died, while he was not his enemy nor seeking his injury, 24 then
the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the blood avenger according
to these ordinances. 25 'And the congregation shall deliver the manslayer from
the hand of the blood avenger, and the congregation shall restore him to his
city of refuge to which he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the
high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
Reader 4* Amen 26 'But if
the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge to
which he may flee, 27 and the blood avenger finds him outside the border of his
city of refuge, and the blood avenger kills the manslayer, he shall not be
guilty of blood 28 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until
the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest the
manslayer shall return to the land of his possession. 29 'And these things shall
be for a statutory ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your
dwellings. 30 'If anyone kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death at
the evidence of witnesses, but no person shall be put to death on the testimony
of one witness.
Reader 5* Amen 31 'Moreover,
you shall not take ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but
he shall surely be put to death. 32 'And you shall not take ransom for him who
has fled to his city of refuge, that he may return to live in the land before
the death of the priest. 33 'So you shall not pollute the land in which you are;
for blood pollutes the land and no expiation can be made for the land for the
blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it. 34 'And you
shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I dwell; for
I Yahweh am dwelling in the midst of the sons of Israel.'"
Reader 6* Amen 36:1 And the
heads of the fathers' households of the family of the sons of Gilead, the son of
Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near
and spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the heads of the fathers'
households of the sons of Israel, 2 and they said, " Yahweh commanded my lord to
give the land by lot to the sons of Israel as an inheritance, and my lord was
commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his
daughters. 3 "But if they marry one of the sons of the other tribes of the sons
of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of our
fathers and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong;
thus it will be withdrawn from our allotted inheritance. 4 "And when the jubilee
of the sons of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the
inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; so their inheritance will be
withdrawn from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers." 5 Then Moses
commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of Yahweh, saying, "The tribe
of the sons of Joseph are right in their statements.
Reader 7* Amen 6 "This is
what Yahweh has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, 'Let
them marry whom they wish; only they must marry within the family of the tribe
of their father.' 7 "Thus no inheritance of the sons of Israel shall be
transferred from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each hold to the
inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 "And every daughter who comes into
possession of an inheritance of any tribe of the sons of Israel, shall be wife
to one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel each
may possess the inheritance of his fathers. 9 "Thus no inheritance shall be
transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of
Israel shall each hold to his own inheritance." 10 Just as Yahweh had commanded
Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did: 11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and
Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad married their uncles' sons. 12 They married
those from the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their
inheritance remained with the tribe of the family of their father. 13 These are
the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh commanded to the sons of Israel
through Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
Joshua 20
1 Then Yahweh spoke
to Joshua, saying, 2 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'Designate the cities
of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses, 3 that the manslayer who kills
any person unintentionally, without premeditation, may flee there, and they
shall become your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4 'And he shall flee to one
of these cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and
state his case in the hearing of the elders of that city; and they shall take
him into the city to them and give him a place, so that he may dwell among them.
5 'Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver the
manslayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor without premeditation
and did not hate him beforehand. 6 'And he shall dwell in that city until he
stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the one who is
high priest in those days. Then the manslayer shall return to his own city and
to his own house, to the city from which he fled.'" 7 So they set apart Kedesh
in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali and Shechem in the hill country of
Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah. 8 And
beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they designated Bezer in the wilderness on
the plain from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad,
and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh. 9 These were the appointed
cities for all the sons of Israel and for the stranger who sojourns among them,
that whoever kills any person unintentionally may flee there, and not die by the
hand of the avenger of blood until he stands before the congregation.

wicked wait for me to destroy me; I shall diligently consider Thy
testimonies. 96 I have seen a limit to all perfection; Thy commandment is
exceedingly broad.
Mem 97 O how I love Thy law! It is
my meditation all the day. 98 Thy commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
for they are ever mine. 99 I have more insight than all my teachers, for Thy
testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the aged, because I
have observed Thy precepts. 101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way,

sweeter than honey to my mouth! 104 From Thy precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.
Nun 105 Thy word is a lamp to my

O Yahweh, And teach me Thine ordinances. 109 My life is continually in my hand,
yet I do not forget Thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I have
not gone astray from Thy precepts. 111 I have inherited Thy testimonies forever,
for they are the joy of my heart. 112 I have inclined my heart to perform Thy
statutes forever, even to the end.

and do not let me be ashamed of my hope. 117 Uphold me that I may be safe, that
I may have regard for Thy statutes continually. 118 Thou hast rejected all those
who wander from Thy statutes, for their deceitfulness is useless. 119 Thou hast
removed all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love Thy
testimonies. 120 My flesh trembles for fear of Thee, and I am afraid of Thy
judgments.
Ayin I have done justice and
righteousness; do not leave me to my oppressors. 122 Be surety for Thy servant
for good; do not let the arrogant oppress me. 123 My eyes fail with longing for
Thy salvation, and for Thy righteous word. 124 Deal with Thy servant according
to Thy lovingkindness, and teach me Thy statutes. 125 I am Thy servant; give me

word, and do not let any iniquity have dominion over me. 134 Redeem me from the
oppression of man, that I may keep Thy precepts. 135 Make Thy face shine upon

My soul keeps Thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly. 168 I keep Thy
precepts and Thy testimonies, for all my ways are before Thee.
Tav 169 Let my cry come before
Thee, O Yahweh; give me understanding according to Thy word. 170 Let my
supplication come before Thee; deliver me according to Thy word. 171 Let my lips
utter praise, for Thou dost teach me Thy statutes. 172 Let my tongue sing of Thy
word, for all Thy commandments are righteousness. 173 Let Thy hand be ready to
help me, for I have chosen Thy precepts. 174 I long for Thy salvation, O Yahweh,
And Thy law is my delight. 175 Let my soul live that it may praise Thee, and let
Thine ordinances help me. 176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Thy
servant, for I do not forget Thy commandments.
John 4:1-45
1 When therefore the Lord knew that the
Pharisees had heard that Yeshua was making and baptizing more disciples than
John 2 (although Yeshua Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were), 3 He
left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. 4 And He had to pass through
Samaria. 5 So He came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of
ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; 6 and Jacob's well was there. Yeshua
therefore, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was
about the sixth hour. 7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said
to her, "Give Me a drink." 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to
buy food. 9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to Him, "How is it that You,
being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no
dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Yeshua answered and said to her, "If you knew the
gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have
asked Him, and He would have given you living water." 11 She said to Him, "Sir,
You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that
living water? 12 "You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave
us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?" 13 Yeshua
answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again;
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but
the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up
to eternal life." 15 The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will
not be thirsty, nor come all the way here to draw." 16 He said to her, "Go, call
your husband, and come here." 17 The woman answered and said, "I have no
husband." Yeshua said to her, "You have well said, 'I have no husband'; 18 for
you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband;
this you have said truly." 19 The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You
are a prophet. 20 "Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say
that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." 21 Yeshua said to
her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain, nor in
Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father. 22 "You worship that which you do not
know; we worship that which we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 "But an
hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in
spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 "God
is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." 25 The
woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ);
when that One comes, He will declare all things to us." 26 Yeshua said to her,
"I who speak to you am He." 27 And at this point His disciples came, and they
marveled that He had been speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You
seek?" or, "Why do You speak with her?" 28 So the woman left her waterpot, and
went into the city, and said to the men, 29 "Come, see a man who told me all the
things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?" 30 They went out of the
city, and were coming to Him. 31 In the meanwhile the disciples were requesting
Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." 32 But He said to them, "I have food to eat that you
do not know about." 33 The disciples therefore were saying to one another, "No
one brought Him anything to eat, did he?" 34 Yeshua said to them, "My food is to
do the will of Him who sent Me, and to accomplish His work. 35 "Do you not say,
'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest '? Behold, I say to you,
lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. 36
"Already he who reaps is receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for life
eternal; that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 "For in this
case the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.' 38 "I sent you to reap
that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered
into their labor." 39 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him
because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all the things that
I have done." 40 So when the Samaritans came to Him, they were asking Him to
stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because
of His word; 42 and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of
what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that
this One is indeed the Savior of the world." 43 And after the two days He went
forth from there into Galilee. 44 For Yeshua Himself testified that a prophet
has no honor in his own country. 45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans
received Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast;
for they themselves also went to the feast.
