Welcome to this week’s study of the Parasha (Torah Portion).
Today’s portion of Torah, Pekudei (Accounts) will be read in
synagogues around the world during this week’s Shabbat
(Saturday) service. This is the last reading in the Book of
Exodus (Shemot). We know you will be blessed as you study
with us the Glory of God in this week’s Parasha. Enjoy !
Last week in Vayakhel, the people donated the required
materials for the building of the Mishkan in such abundance
that Moses had to tell them to stop giving.
This week in Parasha Pekudei, an accounting is made of those
materials, and the eight priestly garments are made according
to the specifications in Parasha Tetzaveh. The Mishkan is also
completed and a cloud appears over it; the Divine Presence
has come to dwell within it.
Parasha Pekudei addresses the mystery of how an unlimited,
eternal God who transcends all time and space can possibly
take up residence within the limitations of a man-made building.
Once Moses and the people finished the work of constructing
the Mishkan, the Glory of God filled it:

Weekly Torah Portion: Pekudei
Welcoming G-d into our neighborhood and making this world a better place - this is the simple yet profound reason Israel has been commanded to build for G-d a Sanctuary on this earth. Israel is a nation whose destiny is to live and act in G-d consciousness, thereby uplifting man and perfecting G-d's creation.

Weekly Torah Portion: God is a Gracious Host
The closing chapters of the Book of Exodus complete the section that deals with the construction of the Tabernacle. The last verses are particularly interesting. Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. (Exodus 40: 34-35) Twice, Scripture tells us that the glory of God has filled the Tabernacle, which, in essence is what the Tabernacle was for. When God first instructed Moses on this issue, He said: “And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst” (25:8). Clearly, in having His glory fill the Tabernacle, He is dwelling among His people.

COLUMN ONE: The fourth strategy
by Caroline Glick
Two weeks ago, Saudi Arabia listed Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and canceled its $3 billion aid package to the Lebanese military. This week we learned that Lebanon is no more. It has been replaced by Hezbollah’s Iranian colony in Lebanon. Two weeks ago, Saudi Arabia listed Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and canceled its $3 billion aid package to the Lebanese military. The Gulf Cooperation Council followed suit. Rather than support the move by his sponsors and allies, Saad Hariri, the head of the anti-Hezbollah March 14 movement, flew to Syria to meet with Hezbollah leaders. Saudi Arabia’s decision to end its support for the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) doesn’t mean that Saudi Arabia is making peace with Hezbollah. [...]

Original Thinking: Jesus at the checkpoint
Why do they go out of their way to deny the undeniable Jewishness of Jesus
according to their own biblical commentaries?
by Barry Shaw, JPOST
Its that crazy Christian time of year in Bethlehem when traditional beliefs are thrown out of the church window. March 7-10 will see the fourth rendering of that anti-Israel libel “Christ at the Checkpoint” played out yet again. It is bad enough when devious Arab Islamic leaders, including Holocaust-denier Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Palestinian Authority, speak at Christmas time of Jesus the “Palestinian messenger,” but it is something completely different when church leaders call Jesus a Palestinian.

Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Pekudei (Accounts)
God’s Divine Presence Enters the Temple !!!
In the chumash
form (bound book), the Hebrew text of the Torah is
usually
set out with the vowel points and cantillation marks (the markings under
and around the Hebrew consonants) that provide the traditional rendering
of the Hebrew. Because the Sefer Torah (scroll) does not have these
markings, one must have already received training to read and chant it.

Shabbat
Shalom !
Welcome to this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion), which is
called Pekudei (Accounts).
This portion of Torah that will be read in synagogues
around the world during this week’s Shabbat (Saturday) service
is the last reading in the Book of Exodus
(Shemot).
We know you will be blessed as you study with us the Glory
of God in this week’s Parasha. Enjoy!
Pekudei (Accounts)
Exodus 38:21–40:38; 1 Kings 7:51–8:21; Hebrews
8:1–12
Torah scroll and yad (Torah pointer, literally hand)
Last week in Vayakhel, the people donated the required
materials for the building of the Mishkan in such abundance
that Moses had to tell them to stop giving.
This week in Parasha Pekudei, an accounting is made of
those materials, and the eight priestly garments are made
according to the specifications in Parasha Tetzaveh. The
Mishkan is also completed and a cloud appears over it; the
Divine Presence has come to dwell within it.
The Mishkan (Bible Primer)
The Glory of God
“Moses inspected the work
and saw that they had done it just as the LORD had
commanded. So Moses blessed them.” (Exodus 39:43)
Parasha Pekudei addresses the mystery of how an
unlimited, eternal God who transcends all time and space can
possibly take up residence within the limitations of a
man-made building.
Once Moses and the people finished the work of
constructing the Mishkan, the
Glory of God filled it:
“So Moses finished the work.
Then the cloud covered the meeting and the glory [kavod]
of God filled the tabernacle.”
(Exodus 40:33–34)
(Exodus 40:33–34)
Carrying the Torah at the Western (Wailing) Wall
The word for glory in
Exodus 40:34 is kavod,
and it is related to the Hebrew words for honor (kaved)
and heavy (kaved).
When we give someone kaved,
it means to give them honor or
respect — to treat them as a person of
substance, importance, of great value. This same
word used in the Ten Commandments, “Honor (kaved)
your father and your mother.” (Exodus 20:12)
In this Torah reading, God chose to place His Glory or
Shekhinah in the finite space of the Mishkan (Sanctuary). His
Presence was unmistakable and of great substance. It was
heavy and inspired reverence.
The Presence of the
Lord was so weighty, in fact, that Moses himself was
unable to enter.
“And Moses was not able to
enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode
thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.” (Exodus
40:35)
An Orthodox Israeli father walks with his children.
As the children of Israel moved on from the foot of Mount
Sinai, where they received the revelation of the Torah, the
manifestation of God in cloud and fire that hovered over the
mountain now moved with them to cover the Tabernacle.
This sign reassured
the people of His continual Presence and guidance
throughout all the rest of their journeys.
“For the cloud of the LORD
was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein
by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel,
throughout all their journeys.” (Exodus 40:38)
Similarly, Yeshua will always be with us.
He promised, “I am with you
always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
As Believers in Yeshua, we do not need to drift aimlessly
upon a storm-tossed sea of trials and tribulations alone; the
Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) has been sent to lead and guide
us and to be with us forever.
"I will ask the Father, and
He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you
forever.” (John 14:16)
The Muslim Dome of the Rock is thought to occupy the spot on the
Temple Mount where the First and Second Temples were located.
The Glory of God
Falls on Solomon’s Temple
“When the priests
withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of
the Lord. And the priests could not perform their service
because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his
temple.”
(1 Kings 8:10–11)
(1 Kings 8:10–11)
In the Haftarah (Prophetic portion) for this week, the
Shekhinah Glory of Adonai filled the Temple in Jerusalem
once the work had been completed, just as it had filled the
Mishkan in the wilderness when the work was completed.
As in the Parasha reading, it
was the end of the work that brought the supernatural
outpouring of God’s presence, not the
beginning.
Starting any kind of project is usually relatively simple,
if accompanied by zeal and enthusiasm, but the true blessing
comes upon finishing the work. This requires patience,
diligence, and endurance.
Like the Israelites, Believers have also been given a job
to finish:
“My only aim is to
finish the race and complete the task the Lord Yeshua has
given me — the task of testifying to the good news of
God's grace.” (Acts 20:24)

The Author and
Finisher of Our Faith
When Yeshua died on the Roman execution stake, His final
words were, “It is finished.”
He knew that He had completed the work He had
been sent to this world to accomplish. He had
fulfilled His calling; He had glorified the Lord, which was
His heart’s earnest desire:
“I have glorified You on the
earth; I have finished the work which You have given Me to
do.” (John 17:4)
That work involved
being the author and FINISHER of our faith! (Hebrews
12:2)
He is the Aleph and the Tav, the beginning and the end.
Halleluyah!
An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man prays in the Old
City of Jerusalem. The book he is holding is a
siddur (Jewish prayer book).
We can be secure in the knowledge that God always
finishes what He starts. He did not just begin the
work of creation; He finished it:
“Thus the heavens and the
earth were completed in all their vast array.” (Genesis
2:1)
God is faithfully at work in each one of us, as well. He will bring the work He
began in us through to perfect completion.
“Being confident of this,
that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to
completion until the day of Messiah Yeshua.” (Philippians
1:6)
When we come to the end of our lives, even if it seems
like there is yet much work to be done here on earth, may we
be able to declare like the apostle Paul, “I have fought the good fight, I have
finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy
4:7)
Thousands participate in the International Jerusalem Marathon.

From Slavery to
Freedom
The book of Exodus (Shemot) begins with the Israelites
enslaved in Egypt. It ends with a visible
demonstration of the Shekhinah Glory of Adonai!
Those who follow the Master, Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the
Messiah), have personally experienced freedom from slavery.
Before we knew Yeshua, we were enslaved to sin, longing to
be delivered from the kingdom of darkness.
Now His Torah is
written on our hearts and His Ruach HaKodesh dwells within
us, transforming us into the people He has called us to
be.
“But we all, with unveiled
face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are
being transformed into the same image from glory to glory,
just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians
3:18)
Please help Bibles For Israel bring the Good News to
Israel and the Nations.
“And blessed be His
glorious name forever; and may the whole earth be filled
with His glory. Amen, and Amen.” (Psalm 72:19)
"The Redeemer will come to
Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins." (Isaiah
59:20)
