RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

COMMENTARY - ENDNOTES
732
A parable, or drash given by Gideon’s son, to show how self-promotion in Yisrael never works, and that just like
Yahshua taught us, the road to greatness in Yisrael is in service to others.
733
The fruit of rebellion is corruption, death, and the devouring one of another.
734
Dual application in both the historic setting and also to both houses, as they enter the Great Tribulation.
735
This is not about human sacrifice. This is about keeping vows to YHWH. The point being that YHWH can deliver
your enemies without you putting your foot in your mouth. Once the vow was made, eternal binding Torah principles
kicked in which were irreversible. Moreover, nowhere does the text state that YHWH required the daughter as a
human sacrifice. Rather that YHWH accepted the vow to receive the daughter in some fashion, not necessarily in the
fashion, or manner in which Jephthah offered her to YHWH. Jewish tradition teaches that the vow of this offering
was carried out figuratively by the daughter living in seclusion as a perpetual virgin devoted to prayer and to YHWH.
736
This trait as stated earlier, is a battle within Efrayim that manifests against others including Judah when he feels
neglected and left out, or when his inferiority complex kicks in. This trait is still found in Efrayimites today. It is
designed to be removed only by Messiah Yahshua, as ordained by Father YHWH.
737
Efrayim enters civil strife with other tribes in Yisrael. We see this unrest in an embryonic stage, even before the
actual division of the nation some 400 years later.
738
Apparently different dialects had set in, even amongst the different tribes.
739
Yahshua directing all worship to His Father, His Elohim, even as He did in the Renewed Covenant.
740
A temporary secret to be revealed only in the fullness of times.
741
The Son worshiping His Father.
742
They knew this was no ordinary messenger.
743
Women in Yisrael are often more spiritually discerned and sensitive than the men who trust YHWH.
744
A head-start to trouble. Torah is clear. Nazarene Yisraelites must not marry outside of the faith, or even outside of
those who dwell with Renewed Covenant Yisrael in their daily lifestyle.
745
A Hebraic idiomatic expression meaning completely, or fully.
746
A beautiful type of Yisrael, called to be separate from their birth at Sinai, just like Samson the Nazarite, that had
gone whoring after other deities in spiritual adultery and becoming fully blind to the things of YHWH, forcing YHWH
to remove His favor and His Set-Apart Spirit, causing both houses symbolized by both pillars to bring the entire
house of Yisrael to ruin.
747
A nice Efrayimite religion, void of YHWH’s counsel and mind.
748
We’ll see this again later. Part of Efrayim's appeal to Judah was to come north and be priests for Jeroboam's new
calendar and holidays, as Efrayim-Yisrael wandered further and further away from YHWH.
749
Dan, seeing Efrayim's little “in-house setup,” was impressed, and demanded that the false priest relocate,
offering him a bigger ministry with a better salary, even though it would be false worship. Today not much has
changed, as many of Dan and Efrayim’s sons seek crowds and vain reputation, rather than truth and heavenly
treasures.
750
A sad and yet somewhat humorous fight between Efrayim and Dan, over who gets to control the idolatry and
rebellion against YHWH. We see this again later after the split of the two houses, when Efrayim demanded to control
the false worship, and wound up putting one of two golden calves in Dan to please Dan’s desire to lead in the
north’s abominations before YHWH.
751
This pattern continued, especially as Dan later worked their way west into Europe, where many peoples and
places are named after Dan, like the Dan-ish, or Dan from Layish.
752
A perfect example of tribal infighting way before the official split.
753
This ought to be Judah's heartfelt cry for any Efrayimites still not present in the congregation of YHWH. Rather
than rejoice, they ought to be heartbroken, crying and even looking for the tribes that cut themselves off like
Benjamin due to Torah violation.
754
Yabesh Gilead was east of the Jordan River, and as such housed the tribes of Reuben, Gad and half of
Menashsheh. Apparently these tribes were missing from the congregation.
755
This should be the cry for all Yisrael when there is any breech among the tribes.
756
The elders found a way around this vow to YHWH, in order to preserve Yisrael. Technically through this plan, not
only was Benjamin preserved in Yisrael, the other tribes did not break their vow. This was done by giving the
Benjamite men wives from the other tribes who had not made the vow before YHWH, and who were not in a vow of
marriage. The men of Benjamin “took” the wives from Shiloh, so they technically were not given but taken. This
great wisdom preserved a tribe on the verge of extinction due to sodomite behavior and lewdness. Therefore
Benjamites today are full of the blood from many other tribes, as is all of Judah, since Benjamin settled in Judah
after the split of the kingdom in 921 BCE.
FIRST SAMUEL
757 Every prince, or great man that arose in Yisrael was given the name Ephrati. Ephrati is defined as one who is an
aristocrat, or noble man. The Talmud believed that descendents of the House of Efrayim became noble aristocrats
wherever they were scattered. In the Babylonian Talmud Yalkut Shimeoni A77, commenting on 1 Samuel 1:1, Rabbi
Raddak states "Ephrati is taken to mean someone from the tribe of Efrayim and of noble birth.”
