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.
This Parashah Point examines the Torah portion Acharei Mot and focuses on Leviticus 18. God told Israel not to imitate the immoral practices of Egypt and Canaan but to keep His statutes. The chapter then lists various prohibited sexual relationships—incest, adultery, same‑sex relations, and bestiality—and warns that these abominations defile the land and invite God’s judgment. The teaching affirms that God’s standards for sexual purity are part of His moral law and still apply to believers today.
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 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?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Korach, Moses tells us in Numbers 16:8-10 that Korah’s rebellion was really about him dealing with discontentment. It’s important we all learn how to deal with discontentment appropriately.
