Bemidbar (Numbers) 18:26-28
26 “Speak thus to the Levites, and say to them: ‘When you take from the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave offering of it to Yahweh, a tenth of the tithe.
27 And your heave offering shall be reckoned to you as though it were the grain of the threshing floor and as the fullness of the winepress.
28 Thus you shall also offer a heave offering to Yahweh from all your tithes which you receive from the children of Israel, and you shall give Yahweh’s heave offering from it to Aaron the priest.

Parashat Korach – Year 3 – The First And The Best For Yahweh.

Shabbat Shalom, Nazarene family.

This week we will study the parashat Korach, portion of year 3, where we will see Yahweh’s loving plan to sustain those who served day and night in his sanctuary. We will learn that the priests and Levites did not need land like the other tribes because Yahweh himself promised to be their gift and true inheritance. We will read about the importance of offerings and first fruits, understanding why the people had to give the best of their harvests and not the leftovers. Finally, we will discover how the tithe cycle worked and see that everyone, without exception, had to participate with gratitude by giving their best.

This week corresponds to the reading of the texts (in bold):

  • Bemidbar (Numbers) 16:1-50 / 17:1-18:7 / 18:8-32
  • Shemuel Aleph (1 Samuel) 11:1-11 / 11:12-12:12 / 12:13-25
  • Yochanan (John) 19:1-15 / 19:16-30 / 19:31-42

Summary of the weekly study, Year three:

Bemidbar (Numbers) 18:8-32

In these verses, Yahweh establishes an eternal and sacred covenant to sustain those who dedicate their lives to serving the sanctuary. He clearly declares that priests and Levites do not need an inheritance of land, because Yahweh himself is their portion and true reward. The people have a responsibility to sustain them through their offerings, tithes, and the best first fruits of the land. It is vital to give the most excellent part, not what is left over. In this passage, we learn that our generosity toward Yahweh’s work demonstrates our gratitude, reminding us that giving our best is an act of deep worship and trust.

Shemuel Aleph (1 Samuel) 12:13-25

In these verses, Samuel speaks to the people after they have demanded a human king, rejecting Yahweh’s leadership. Despite this sin, they are offered a new opportunity filled with hope. Samuel seriously warns them that they must fear Yahweh and serve him faithfully, without straying after vain things that are of no benefit. Through a miraculous sign of rain and thunder, the people recognize their mistake with fear. Samuel promises to pray for them. In this passage, we learn that even if we make serious mistakes, if we turn to Yahweh with all our hearts and obey him, his mercy and faithfulness will remain with us.

Yochanan (John) 19:31-42

In these verses, we see the events following Yeshua’s death. To confirm his death, they do not break his legs, fulfilling the prophecy, but they pierce his side. Then Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, secret disciples, courageously come forward. They ask for the body to give him a proper burial, wrapping it in spices and linen in a new tomb nearby. Their silent devotion is transformed into noble action. In this passage, we learn that true love for Yeshua gives us the courage to honor him openly, caring for his belongings with generosity and respect, overcoming fear to always do what is right.

Enjoy this fun activity with the whole family. Inside you will find development questions for the three weekly sections (Torah, Haftarah and Brit Chadasha). While the older ones discuss the questions and their answers, the younger ones can color the picture related to the teaching, solve a maze, find the 7 differences and much more. We encourage you to do it week by week and instill in your children the habit of studying Yahweh’s word as a family.

We hope you and especially your sons and daughters enjoy this effort. For it is through the study of the Scriptures that we can come to understand the love and care that Yahweh has always had for us. And also to perceive that He has been taking care of even the smallest detail, so that we can take care and enjoy all that He gives us. That is why it is so important that our children learn and grow up knowing that they are loved by the Creator of all that exists.

Shalom.
