In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Beshalach, we read of Israel’s salvation from slavery in Egypt. As we look at Exodus 14:30-31 we see how being saved through the Father’s great power taught Israel to believe in Him and the one He sent, Moses, so they did not perish. In fact, we will see the echoes of Exodus even into the New Testament.
In this week’s Parashah Point on Beshalach, we take a brief look at the importance of singing throughout Scripture. Singing was used to bring honor and glory and praise to the Creator and sometimes they may also memorialize certain events. The Song of Moses found in Exodus 15 in one such song.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion named, Mishpatim, we look at the commandment in Exodus 23:4-5 about helping our neighbor, even if that neighbor is an enemy or someone we hate. We see how we cannot be ruled by our emotions because sometimes our emotions may actually cause us to break the Torah.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Bo, we look at knowing the importance of YHWH’s judgment and wrath. In Exodus 10:1-2 we are commanded to remember the plagues sent against Egypt as YHWH dealing harshly with them. These plagues are part of YHWH’s judgment as He poured out His wrath that we might know Him.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called, Va’era, we see how knowing God’s name is something even Israel’s forefathers didn’t know, according to Exodus 6:2-3. However, we see His name throughout Genesis, how is it that Abraham didn’t know the Father’s name? What is meant here?
