When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left. (NASB)<\/span> providing the context for <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 34<\/span>. What just occurred in David\u2019s history was to determine whether Saul was for or against him. In <\/span>1 Samuel 20:35-42,<\/span> David met with Jonathan in the field and Jonathan (Saul\u2019s son) told him that his father\u2019s heart was set against him to kill him. Jonathan and David wept together, and David left from there and went to the Tabernacle and met with Ahimelech, obtained consecrated bread from the priest for his men to eat and was given the sword of Goliath. The Scriptures say in <\/span>1 Samuel 21:7 Now one of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul\u2019s shepherds. (NASB)<\/span> What does it mean that he was <\/span>\u201cdetained before the Lord?\u201d<\/span> Doeg reported to Saul what David had done. David lied to the priest that he was under the king\u2019s orders and was on a mission for the king (<\/span>1 Samuel 21:8-9<\/span>). We then read that David arose up and fled from Saul and went to the Philistines, Achish king of Gath. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

Tehillim \/ Psalms 34<\/span><\/p>\n

Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left. 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 34:2 My soul will make its boast in the Lord; The humble will hear it and rejoice. 34:3 O magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together. 34:4 I sought the Lord, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. 34:5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed. 34:6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him And saved him out of all his troubles. 34:7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them. 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! 34:9 O fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. 34:10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing. 34:11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 34:12 Who is the man who desires life And loves length of days that he may see good? 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. 34:14 Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. 34:15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry. 34:16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. 34:17 The righteous cry, and the Lord hears And delivers them out of all their troubles. 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all. 34:20 He keeps all his bones, Not one of them is broken. 34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will be condemned. 34:22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

34:1 Of David, when he disguised his intelligence before Abimelech, who dismissed him, and he left. 34:2 I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise is always in my mouth. 34:3 My soul makes her boast in the word of the Lord; the humble will hear and rejoice. 34:4 Ascribe greatness in the presence of the Lord with me, and we will exalt his name together. 34:5 I sought instruction from the presence of the Lord and he answered me; and from all my fears he delivered me. 34:6 They looked toward him and received light; and their faces were not dismayed. 34:7 This poor one prayed; in the presence of the Lord it was heard, and he redeemed him from all his troubles. 34:8 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he saved them. 34:9 Recognize and see that the Lord is good; happy the man who has placed his trust in his word. 34:10 Have fear in the presence of the Lord, O you his holy ones; for there is nothing lacking to those who fear him. 34:11 The sons of the lion became poor and were hungry; but those who seek the instruction of the Lord lack no good thing. 34:12 Come, children, receive [teaching] from me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 34:13 Who is the man who seeks life, loves days in order to see good? 34:14 Guard your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. 34:15 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue after it. 34:16 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous; and his ears, to receive their prayer. 34:17 The face of the Lord is wrathful against evildoers, to expunge their memory from the earth. 34:18 The righteous pray, and it is heard in the presence of the Lord; and from all their trouble he has delivered them. 34:19 The Lord is near to the broken-hearted; and the lowly in spirit he will redeem. 34:20 Many evils encounter the righteous man; and from all of them the Lord delivers him. 34:21 He protects all his limbs; not one of them is broken. 34:22 The death of the wicked is bad, and those who hate the righteous man will be condemned. 34:23 The Lord redeems the soul of his servants; and none who hope in his word are condemned.

Psalmoi \/ Psalms 34<\/span><\/p>\n

A Psalm of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth. 34:2 My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice. 34:3 Magnify ye the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. 34:4 I sought the Lord diligently, and he hearkened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings. 34:5 Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not by any means be ashamed. 34:6 This poor man cried, and the Lord hearkened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions. 34:7 The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them. 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him. 34:9 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 34:10 The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not want any good thing. Pause. 34:11 Come, ye children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 34:12 What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days? 34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 34:14 Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 34:15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer: 34:16 but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord hearkened to them, 34:17 and delivered them out of all their afflictions. 34:18 The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit. 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them. 34:20 He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken. 34:21 The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong. 34:22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.

It is interesting that Gath was the biblical city and home of Goliath (<\/span>1 Samuel 17:4, 23<\/span>). David received the sword of Goliath and took it too the king and city of Goliath. Wouldn\u2019t David had been unpopular in the city of Goliath? One would think that would not be the first place to go to when fleeing from Saul. Gath means <\/span>\u201cwine press,\u201d<\/span> and is one of the five royal cities of the Philistines; (<\/span>Joshua 13:3, 1 Samuel 6:17<\/span>). According to Smith\u2019s Bible Dictionary, a 19<\/span>th<\/span> century Bible dictionary named after the editor William Smith (1813-1893), <\/span>\u201cGath probably stood upon the hill now called Tell-es-Safieh, upon the side of the plain of Philistia, at the foot of the mountains of Judah; 10 miles east of Ashdod, and about the same distance south by east of Ekron. It is irregular in form, and about 200 feet high. Gath occupied a strong position, (2 Chronicles 11:8) on the border of Judah and Philistia, (1 Samuel 21:10, 1 Chronicles 18:1) and from its strength and resources forming the key of both countries, it was the scene of frequent struggles, and was often captured and recaptured. (2 Kings 12:17, 2 Chronicles 11:8, 26:6, Amos 6:2). The ravages of war to which Gath was exposed appear to have destroyed it at a comparatively early period, as it is not mentioned among the other royal cities by the later prophets. (Zephaniah 2:4, Zechariah 9:5, 6).\u201d<\/span> So, David fled to Achish king of Gath according to <\/span>1 Samuel 21:10-22:2<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>1 Samuel 21:10-22:2<\/span><\/p>\n

21:10 Then David arose and fled that day from Saul, and went to Achish king of Gath. 21:11 But the servants of Achish said to him, \u2018Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of this one as they danced, saying, \u2018Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands\u2019?\u2019 21:12 David took these words to heart and greatly feared Achish king of Gath. 21:13 So he disguised his sanity before them, and acted insanely in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva run down into his beard. 21:14 Then Achish said to his servants, \u2018Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring him to me? 21:15 \u2018Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this one to act the madman in my presence? Shall this one come into my house?\u2019 22:1 So David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father\u2019s household heard of it, they went down there to him. 22:2 Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him; and he became captain over them. Now there were about four hundred men with him. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

Tehillim \/ Psalms 34:1 <\/span>A Psalm of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. (LXX)<\/span><\/p>\n

It is interesting that the words used in the Masoretic text David said that Abimelek drove him away with the forcefulness of being <\/span>\u201cdivorced\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b0\u05d2\u05b8\u05e8\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc<\/span>) because David lost his savor, as in salt loosing its saltiness, he essentially changed his taste, meaning to act as if he had lost the power of distinguishing between objects, or right and wrong. So the king divorced him, drove him away from his presence. Note how the Aramaic Targum translates as <\/span>\u05e9\u05e0\u05d9 \u05d9\u05ea \u05de\u05d3\u05e2\u05d9\u05d4<\/span> \u201cchanged his knowledge,\u201d<\/span> suggesting that he had changed his intelligence before Abimelek to appear mentally and emotionally dumb. The Targum then says that Abimelek caused them to be separated (<\/span>\u05d5\u05e4\u05d8\u05e8\u05d9\u05d4<\/span>) and David left (<\/span>\u05d5\u05d0\u05d6\u05dc<\/span>). The Septuagint states that he \u1f20\u03bb\u03bb\u03bf\u03af\u03c9\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd \u03c4\u1f78 \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03c3\u03c9\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 <\/span>\u201cchanged his face or countenance\u201d<\/span> before Abimelek and so the rabbis who translated the Septuagint suggest that David distorted his face so as to appear insane. Since Abimelek thought him to be insane, David believed that the Lord had shown favor upon him to escape and thus the Lord saved David in this situation. Do you think it is possible that the Lord can make a person think or behave in a particular way? Can you think of any examples where this takes place? The Scriptures do state that it is possible for the Lord to move in the hearts of men, even unsaved men for His purposes and to save His people.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Aramaic Targum and Septuagint say essentially the same thing, David blesses the Lord always, his praises will be continually in his mouth, his soul boasts in the Lord, he hears and rejoices and magnifies the Lord and His name. It is interesting, studying these three verses, <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 34:3<\/span> from the Masoretic text states <\/span>\u05d2 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05ea\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05dc\u05bc\u05b5\u05dc \u05e0\u05b7\u05e4\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05de\u05b0\u05e2\u05d5\u05bc \u05e2\u05b2\u05e0\u05b8\u05d5\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05de\u05b8\u05d7\u05d5\u05bc:<\/span> \u201cin the Lord (the name, HaShem) praise my soul, they listen, the humble, and they rejoice.\u201d<\/span> The humble listening, praising, and rejoicing reminds us of the Lord speaking to Moshe in <\/span><\/a>Parashat Shemot (<\/span>Shemot \/ Exodus 1:1-6:1<\/span>). The verses from <\/span>Shemot \/ Exodus 4:1-8 <\/span>details the signs Moshe was to perform before Pharaoh and his servants and also before the elders of the Children of Israel, (i) the staff turned into a snake and (ii) his hand being covered with Tzaraat. These signs were given him because Moshe asks the Lord what if the people do not believe him. The Lord gives Moshe these signs, and states in <\/span>4:8<\/span> saying <\/span>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b8\u05d9\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b4\u05dd-\u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b7\u05d0\u05b2\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b8\u05da\u05b0 \u05d5\u05b0\u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05de\u05b0\u05e2\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b0\u05e7\u05b9\u05dc \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b9\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05e8\u05b4\u05d0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05b9\u05df \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b6\u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b0\u05e7\u05b9\u05dc \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b9\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/span> that if they do not believe the first one, they will listen on performing the second sign of his hand being covered with Tzaraat. If we think about this for a moment, the power to transform one\u2019s hand to be covered in Tzaraat and then to heal the hand is something only God could do. The magicians who worked for Pharaoh would not have even attempted to cause their hand to be covered in Tzaraat because the next task would be to heal their own hand which is something they would not have been able to do. As a result of this, the rabbis determined that the sign of the Messiah would be that He would come and heal one of Tzaraat, this would be proof positive that the Messiah had come. The Rabbi\u2019s of the Talmud (<\/span><\/a>Bavli Sanhedrin 98a-b<\/span>) ask the question <\/span>\u201cThe Messiah what is his name?\u201d<\/span> and their response is <\/span>\u201cThe Leprous one, those of the house of Rabbi the sick one as it is said \u2019surely he has bore our sicknesses.\u2019\u201d<\/span> It is also written in Daf Sanhedrin <\/span>\u201cThe suffering scholar of Rabbi\u2019s house\u201d<\/span> (referring to the Leper Scholar) as the name of the Messiah. It is recognized in Rabbinic Judaism that the Messiah must be afflicted and familiar with suffering. The point here is that it was not believed the Messiah would be literally stricken with Tzaraat but that a connection is being made between the healing of Tzaraat and the true Messiah. The healing of a person with Tzaraat was understood as being the sign that the Messiah had come. The Messiah would have compassion on the person who is unclean and then make him or her clean and in right standing before God. This is what we find in the Apostolic Writings, Yeshua is described as having compassion for the Metzora (the person with Tzaraat) and heals them (see <\/span>Luke 5:12-14<\/span>). According to the Rabbinic literature, the appearance of Tzaraat was the physical effect of sin in one\u2019s life. It was a spiritual disease that was to be kept in check. To avoid Tzaraat we must avoid slander and baseless hatred. Note in the Psalm David is speaking of being humble, having the praises of the Lord upon his lips always, and singing of the great works the Lord has done. These things are opposite of the one who slanders with baseless hatred. The concept was that the spiritual sores that we have on the inside must be immediately treated unless something worse would happen and the spiritual would manifest itself in our physical bodies. We must learn to forgive and let go of judgment and hatred towards others.

In the beginning of <\/span>Psalm 51<\/span>, David uses three words for sin in the first few verses, <\/span>\u05e4\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05e2\u05b8\u05d9<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201ccrime, sin, offense, felony, transgression,\u201d<\/span> \u05de\u05b5\u05e2\u05b2\u05d5\u05b9\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> from the root <\/span>\u05e2\u05d5\u05d5\u05df<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201csin, crime, offence, evil,\u201d<\/span> and the word <\/span>\u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b5\u05d7\u05b7\u05d8\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> from the root <\/span>\u05d7\u05d8\u05d0<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201csin, fault, offence, sinfulness, ungodliness, crime.\u201d <\/span>In David\u2019s confession of his sin, he used three words asking for forgiveness, <\/span>\u05db\u05bc\u05b0\u05d7\u05b7\u05e1\u05b0\u05d3\u05bc\u05b6\u05da\u05b8<\/span> from the root word <\/span>\u05d7\u05e1\u05d3<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cgrace, mercy,\u201d<\/span> \u05e8\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05de\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8<\/span> from the root word <\/span>\u05e8\u05d7\u05dd<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cto have mercy, compassion,\u201d<\/span> and <\/span>\u05db\u05bc\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e1\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> from the root word <\/span>\u05db\u05d1\u05e1<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cto wash.\u201d<\/span> In David\u2019s use of these three words to describe his sin, <\/span>\u05e4\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05e2\u05b8\u05d9<\/span> is a reference to his external guilt in sin, whereas <\/span>\u05de\u05b5\u05e2\u05b2\u05d5\u05b9\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> and <\/span>\u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b5\u05d7\u05b7\u05d8\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> are referring to the internal state. He says that in his heart he did not exercise justice (<\/span>\u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05d8<\/span>) and righteousness (<\/span>\u05e6\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4<\/span>) before God and before others. He committed murder. The greatness of this external and internal uncleanness excluded him from worshiping in God\u2019s presence. Only a complete eradication of his sin will restore him into fellowship with the Lord and to His presence. As a result, David seeks the internal cleansing that is accomplished only by the grace and mercy of God as understood according to the Hebrew text on the use of the words <\/span>\u05db\u05bc\u05b0\u05d7\u05b7\u05e1\u05b0\u05d3\u05bc\u05b6\u05da\u05b8<\/span> and <\/span>\u05e8\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05de\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8<\/span> and then to be cleansed externally by the purifying waters by the phrase <\/span>\u201cto wash\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>\u05db\u05bc\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e1\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9<\/span>) me from my sins. This is emphasized in David\u2019s statement in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 51:4<\/span> in the Hebrew Bible, (note it is <\/span>51:2<\/span> in the English Bible) <\/span>\u05d4\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05d1\u05d4 [\u05d4\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05d1] \u05db\u05bc\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e1\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05de\u05b5\u05e2\u05b2\u05d5\u05b9\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b5\u05d7\u05b7\u05d8\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d8\u05b7\u05d4\u05b2\u05e8\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> by the word <\/span>\u05d8\u05b7\u05d4\u05b2\u05e8\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201ccleanse me\u201d<\/span> in the sense of ritual purity. David realizes that sinning against Bathsheba and against Uriah is synonymous with sinning against God. He then confirms the Lord\u2019s righteous judgment against sin and God\u2019s desire for righteousness in His people (<\/span>\u05dc\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 | \u05d7\u05b8\u05d8\u05b8\u05d0\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b8\u05e8\u05b7\u05e2 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e2\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8 \u05e2\u05b8\u05e9\u05b4\u05b9\u05d9\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b0\u05de\u05b7\u05e2\u05b7\u05df-\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05e7 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b6\u05da\u05b8 \u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d6\u05b0\u05db\u05bc\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d1\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05e4\u05b0\u05d8\u05b6\u05da\u05b8<\/span>) in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 51:6<\/span>. When going before the Lord seeking instruction from His presence, consequentially we need to seek forgiveness of sins prior to seeking counsel in His presence. When David said <\/span>\u05d4 \u05d3\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8\u05b7\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05e0\u05b8\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b4\u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05de\u05b0\u05d2\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b7\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b4\u05e6\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05b8\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9:<\/span> 34:4 I sought the Lord, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. (NASB)<\/span> he had obviously sought the Lord for the forgiveness of his sins and the Lord had indeed forgiven him and answered him. He can and does do the same for us today. <\/span><\/p>\n

David continues saying the Lord encamps around those who fear Him (<\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 34:7<\/span>, <\/span>\u05d7 \u05d7\u05b9\u05e0\u05b6\u05d4 \u05de\u05b7\u05dc\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05da\u05b0-\u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05e1\u05b8\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1 \u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05b5\u05d0\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5 \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b0\u05d7\u05b7\u05dc\u05bc\u05b0\u05e6\u05b5\u05dd:<\/span>). And says <\/span>34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! 34:9 O fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. 34:10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing. 34:11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. (NASB)<\/span> The Apostle Peter wrote in <\/span>1 Peter 2:3 if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. (NASB)<\/span> appearing to draw a parallel to <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! (NASB)<\/span> By experience, David believes our days are numbered by the Lord saying <\/span>\u05d9\u05d2 \u05de\u05b4\u05d9-\u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d4\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u05e4\u05b5\u05e5 \u05d7\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d0\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d1 \u05d9\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea \u05d8\u05d5\u05b9\u05d1: \u05d9\u05d3 \u05e0\u05b0\u05e6\u05b9\u05e8 \u05dc\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05b9\u05e0\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05de\u05b5\u05e8\u05b8\u05e2 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05e4\u05b8\u05ea\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8 \u05de\u05b4\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05e8 \u05de\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05de\u05b8\u05d4: \u05d8\u05d5 \u05e1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8 \u05de\u05b5\u05e8\u05b8\u05e2 \u05d5\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e9\u05b5\u05b9\u05d4-\u05d8\u05d5\u05b9\u05d1 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05e7\u05bc\u05b5\u05e9\u05c1 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d3\u05b0\u05e4\u05b5\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc: \u05d8\u05d6 \u05e2\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05dc-\u05e6\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d6\u05b0\u05e0\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5 \u05d0\u05b6\u05dc-\u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d5\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05ea\u05b8\u05dd:<\/span> 34:12 Who is the man who desires life And loves length of days that he may see good? 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. 34:14 Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. 34:15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry. (NASB)<\/span> whereas <\/span>\u05d9\u05d6 \u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e2\u05b9\u05e9\u05b5\u05b9\u05d9 \u05e8\u05b8\u05e2 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05db\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea \u05de\u05b5\u05d0\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05d6\u05b4\u05db\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05dd:<\/span> 34:16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. (NASB)<\/span> The Apostle Peter also wrote the following in His epistle saying,<\/span> 1 Peter 3:10 For, \u2018The one who desires life, to love and see good days, Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. 3:11 \u2018He must turn away from evil and do good; He must seek peace and pursue it. 3:12 \u2018For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears attend to their prayer, But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.\u2019 (NASB)<\/span> again drawing a parallel to <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 34:12-16<\/span>. It is interesting how David says, that we must keep our tongue from evil and our lips from speaking deceit. We must turn from evil and do good, and seek peace. This is the way our lives should be characterized as the children of God, running from evil and sin, turning our lives around, obeying the Lord, all because He has worked in us a good work in Yeshua the Messiah. Notice how David speaks of the Lord answering him, that He encamps around those who fear Him, to taste and see that the Lord is good, the blessing that are in those who take refuge in Him, to fear the Lord, to seek the Lord not in vain, to listen to the Lord and fear Him and the Lord gives length of days to those who seek peace and the pursuit of peace. He says the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous. This Psalm brings into context an interesting question regarding holiness, righteousness, justice, and sin, especially in light of <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 51<\/span> and David\u2019s use of three types of sin, the external verses the internal forms of sin. The context I am thinking of is with regard to ritual purity, which the disciples and Yeshua draw upon to broaden our understanding of sin, and the importance of ritual purity today. I have spoken to quite a few people regarding ritual purity and for the most part, many people respond saying that contracting ritual impurity was a sin. So the question is according to the Torah, <\/span>\u201cWas ritual impurity or ceremonial uncleanness considered a sin?\u201d<\/span> The answer to that question is <\/span>\u201cthat depends on how one becomes ritually impure!\u201d<\/span> Studying the Torah, the majority of the purity laws concern the cases, situations, and substances that cause one to become ritually impure affect one\u2019s ability to enter into the temple of God.. Ritual impurity generally involves the direct or indirect contact with an object that is unclean such as having contact with childbirth (<\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 12:1-8<\/span>), the disease of Tsaraat (skin disease, <\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 13:1-46, 14:1-32<\/span>), a disease of fungus in clothing (<\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 13:47-59<\/span>), fungus in a house (<\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 14:33-53<\/span>), seminal discharges (<\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 15:1-33<\/span>), the dead bodies of certain unclean animals (<\/span>Bamidbar \/ Numbers 11:1-47<\/span>), and human dead bodies (<\/span>Bamidbar \/ Numbers 19:1-22<\/span>). In addition to these things, ritual impurity may also come by contact with the Olah Korban (Whole burnt offering) while preparing the waters of purification (see <\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 16:28, Bamidbar \/ Numbers 19:7-8<\/span>) from the ashes of the red heifer. Based upon these Biblical sources, studying these Scriptures carefully, these forms of uncleanness do not result from willful acts of disobedience to God\u2019s Word, therefore, it is not sinful to contract these impurities. Notice how contracting impurity in these ways, birth, death, sex, disease, and skin discharge may at one time or another be unavoidable simply because of life and living and interaction with others. This has become a serious misunderstanding in the Christian Church today. Again it is not sinful to contract ritual impurity in the ways listed above. In addition to this, note with regard to becoming unclean by touching a human dead body, if one were to bury the body of a deceased relative, it would not be a sin to do so. However, if a man was the <\/span>\u201chigh priest,\u201d<\/span> he was forbidden from touching dead bodies (<\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 21:1-4<\/span>). Therefore, if the High Priest were to bury the body of a deceased relative, it would be a sin, according to the Word of the Lord, because he would be willfully choosing to violate (or disregard) the command of God. In addition to these things, the Scriptures also state that ritual defilement may be a punishment for moral shortcomings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Studying the topic of <\/span>\u201cimpurity\u201d<\/span> or <\/span>\u201cuncleanness\u201d<\/span> in the Scriptures, there are two ideologies on the topic of uncleanness in the Hebrew Bible, (i) ritual uncleanness (<\/span>as was just discussed<\/span>) and (ii) moral uncleanness. The state of ritual uncleanness pertains to the human body, and is unavoidable in some cases, it is temporary and can be cleansed according to the Scriptures. Note also that without the ashes of the Red Heifer and the absence of the Temple in Jerusalem, there is not way to cleanse the physical body from ritual uncleanness today. On the other hand, <\/span>\u201cmoral uncleanness\u201d<\/span> is acquired through behavioral choice and our thought life. In the Torah there are three sins which cause moral uncleanness: (i) murder, (ii) violation of sexual prohibitions, and (iii) heresy which includes willful disobedience to God\u2019s Word. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Torah, there are no purification rites that are able to reverse these types of uncleanness. <\/span><\/p>\n

Moral impurity, unlike ritual impurity, has severe consequences. According to the Scriptures, by reason of moral uncleanness, the land (eretz Israel) will expel its inhabitants and the violators will be subject to being cut off from their people. They will be given some sort of affliction and die short in life (<\/span>living fewer years than what they could have<\/span>). Yeshua speaks of moral uncleanness in <\/span>Matthew 5-7<\/span> (<\/span>murderous and lustful thoughts<\/span>) and in Mark 7 (<\/span>uncleanness that comes from the heart<\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n

An example from the gospel of Luke (chapter 8) may be used to illustrate moral impurity. In Luke 8, there was a woman who was living with what the Scriptures call <\/span>\u201can issue (hemorrhage) of blood for twelve years,\u201d <\/span>meaning that she found herself constantly in a state of niddah (menstrual uncleanness) due to bleeding. As a result of this she was unable to worship at the Temple in Jerusalem and this would have caused problems with sexual relations and her husband, and coming into contact with anyone who had plans on going to the Temple to worship the Lord. The woman would have needed to be in a constant state of isolation. The issue for this woman was she needed to restrict who she come in contact with since she would be knowingly causing everyone she come into contact with to become ritually unclean. <\/span>Luke 8:41-48<\/span> says the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Luke 8:41-48<\/span><\/p>\n

8:41 And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus\u2019 feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house; 8:42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him. 8:45 And Jesus said, \u2018Who is the one who touched Me?\u2019 And while they were all denying it, Peter said, \u2018Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You.\u2019 8:46 But Jesus said, \u2018Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had gone out of Me.\u2019 8:47 When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed. 8:48 And He said to her, \u2018Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.\u2019 (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

Here Yeshua was going to heal the daughter of Jarius (see <\/span>Luke 8:41-42, 49-56<\/span>) and this woman with menstrual bleeding come behind and touched his cloths. The Story illustrates the power of God that proceeds from Yeshua to heal her that occurred without the direct verbal appeal being made by the woman for healing. It is an illustration of faith, in the Lord God Almighty and in His Son, the Messiah Yeshua, and the power of God to heal her from her sickness. This woman stepped out in faith and by her actions she was healed. Now, consider what the Torah has to say about this woman\u2019s condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 15:25-27<\/span><\/p>\n

15:25 \u2018Now if a woman has a discharge of her blood many days, not at the period of her menstrual impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond that period, all the days of her impure discharge she shall continue as though in her menstrual impurity; she is unclean. 15:26 \u2018Any bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her like her bed at menstruation; and every thing on which she sits shall be unclean, like her uncleanness at that time. 15:27 \u2018Likewise, whoever touches them shall be unclean and shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the gospel of Luke, this woman had been ritually unclean for twelve years. Anyone who comes into contact with her or with anything that she has touched contracts the ritual defilement. Notice that the Scriptures do not say the people would run from her because of her uncleanness. Therefore, we can conclude that she had kept this condition hidden from everyone except of course her husband (if she was married). By necessity, when she touches Yeshua\u2019s cloths, she passes on the ritual defilement according to the Word of God in <\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 15:27<\/span>. It is important to remember that it is not inherently sinful to become ritually defiled in this way, after all, ritual defilement comes on account of the natural menstrual cycle (<\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 15:19-24<\/span>), touching the dead (<\/span>Bamidbar \/ Numbers 19:11-16<\/span>), and for many other reasons listed previously. In this woman\u2019s case she had some kind of bleeding problem that would not cease. The question is, does her willfully touching Yeshua making him ritually impure a form of willful disobedience to God\u2019s Word in Leviticus? Ritual defilement was a big deal especially for those involved with the Temple service. This woman would have experienced extreme discrimination because of her illness since many would be afraid of contracting the defilement. It was most likely for this reason that the woman is reluctant to come forward and speak clearly regarding what she has done. In addition to this, her pressing through the crowd to touch Yeshua\u2019s clothing, in the process she was making everyone she touched unclean, which is in willful disobedience to God\u2019s Word in Leviticus. She most likely was certainly afraid of receiving a rebuke or chastisement for her conduct. Yeshua however was not like the religious leaders of His day. He recognized that this defilement was not by reason of sin and that true defilement (uncleanness) is a matter of the heart and conduct (see <\/span>Mark 7:14-23, next chapter<\/span>). Yeshua was willing to bear the ritual defilement so that the woman may be cleansed of her disease. The power of God was present to heal the woman and everyone present was able to witness God\u2019s glory and give Him the praise. <\/span><\/p>\n

The lesson we can take away from this story is critical even to this day. Today, people do not put stock into ritual cleanliness or uncleanliness, mostly as a result of the absence of the Temple, but also by reason of Christian commentary throughout the centuries that these things are not important. Because we are not taught to consider the implications of purity in our walk before the Lord each day, our understanding of walking in righteousness and purity before God has been effected. Ritual impurity barred people from joining the congregation in worship in the Tabernacle and the Temple in Jerusalem, however, if one lived in <\/span>\u201cmoral defilement\u201d<\/span> in their hearts (<\/span>thought life<\/span>), they were free to go in and out of the Tabernacle or Temple in Jerusalem and nobody would know. This is a profound way of understanding uncleanness with regard to disobedience, rebelliousness to God\u2019s Word, disregarding God\u2019s Word, and being insensitive to God\u2019s Word, etc, the moral impurity are types of defilement before the Lord God Almighty that separates us most importantly from the Lord Himself. We know according to the Apostolic Writings that Yeshua healed those who were ritually defiled (i.e. those with leprosy). He was also willing to eat with tax collectors and sinners (<\/span>Matthew 9:10-11<\/span>) who from a <\/span>\u201cmorally defiled\u201d<\/span> perspective were unclean. Yeshua did not shun those whom Jewish society branded as <\/span>\u201cdefiled\u201d<\/span> and <\/span>\u201cunclean\u201d <\/span>either for ritual or moral reasons; instead, He preached repentance and the good news to them. The Torah does not state that a morally defiled person could pass on their defilement to another. Thus, the one who is defiled inwardly, his morally defiled state is directly affecting his relationship with the Lord God Almighty. Yeshua healed these people because, after all, they were sick, and needed help. The interesting point is that these people who were sick were seeking God, seeking truth, and seeking healing. Does the morally defiled person seek God for truth and healing? Is it possible that the stain of moral defilement could cause a person to not realize their own impure state and not seek the Lord for forgiveness, healing, and truth? <\/span><\/p>\n

The point of the matter is, today there are many people who are openly disobedient to God\u2019s Word. The Scriptures say that we will be able to come before the Lord with purified lives and being empowered by God to live obedient to God\u2019s Word because the Lord has inscribed His Law on our hearts. The issue is not that foods (clean or unclean) will cause a person to lose there salvation or cause one not to be able to enter heaven. We know that through faith in Yeshua the Messiah, our High Priest, we are a saved and a redeemed people. Yeshua has cleansed us and we can approach the Lord God in prayer and thanksgiving. The real issue at hand is living in willful disobedience to God\u2019s Word. Knowing what the Lord commands and yet disregarding God\u2019s Word and living in willful disobedience to the Word. Following salvation in Yeshua, if one is unwilling to or does not have the desire to make changes to his or her life, what can be said about such a person? How do your life look with regard to <\/span>\u201cMoral Uncleanness\u201d<\/span> today? The Apostle James said in <\/span>James 1:21-25:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>James 1:21-25<\/span><\/p>\n

1:21 Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. 1:22 But <\/span>prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves<\/span>. 1:23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 1:24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 1:25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

Does the <\/span>\u201claw of liberty\u201d<\/span> suggest that we are free to live in willful disobedience to God\u2019s Word? The Torah was given to train us in holiness, righteousness, and justice. For example, the dietary requirements found in God\u2019s Law is one way to realize the importance of daily living in obedience to God\u2019s Word. Similarly, we are not to live in a continual state of <\/span>\u201cmoral uncleanness\u201d<\/span> by willfully being disobedient to His Word! Note also that it is the Lord God Almighty who is able to cleanse us from moral impurity and the Lord does this in Yeshua the Messiah. In the Messiah, we are made whole and we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to turn our lives away from sin and to walk on the path God has set before us in obedience to Him. So with regard to what David was saying in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 34:8-16<\/span>, <\/span>34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! 34:9 O fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. 34:10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing. 34:11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 34:12 Who is the man who desires life And loves length of days that he may see good? 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. 34:14 Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. 34:15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry. 34:16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. (NASB)<\/span> David speaks of those who fear Him, to taste and see that the Lord is good, the blessing that are in those who take refuge in Him, to fear the Lord, to seek the Lord not in vain, to listen to the Lord and fear Him and the Lord gives length of days to those who seek peace and the pursuit of peace. He says the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous. We are not to live in a continual state of moral impurity, these things characterize one who listens, seeks, and loves the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

(NASB) <\/span> The Lord will cut off memory of evil doers like He states about Amalek according to Parashat Beshalach (<\/span>Shemot \/ Exodus 13:17-17:16<\/span>). <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Shemot \/ Exodus 17:8-14<\/span><\/p>\n

17:8 Then Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim. 17:9 So Moses said to Joshua, \u2018Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.\u2019 17:10 Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 17:11 So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed. 17:12 But Moses\u2019 hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set. 17:13 So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 17:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, \u2018Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.\u2019 (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

Amalek was the son of Eliphaz and of the concubine Timna. Timna was a Horite and sister of Lotan. Amalek was the grandson of Esau (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 36:12 and 1 Chronicles 1:36<\/span>) who was the chief of an Edomite tribe (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 36:16<\/span>). Remember that according to the Torah, Esau rejected the covenant promises of God, married the daughters of Canaan, and the Lord rejected Him. Therefore, those who are evil, the wicked, the unrighteous, those who walk in darkness, the Lord stands against such things and will cut such people off from the face of the earth. They will not have a part in the inheritance to come in the Olam Habah (the world to come).<\/span><\/p>\n

(EMC)<\/span> Notice how the rabbis draw a parallel to David\u2019s words <\/span>\u201cthe righteous cry\u201d<\/span> saying <\/span>\u201cthe righteous pray\u201d<\/span> in the presence of the Lord and they are delivered from all their troubles. When we cry out to the Lord for help, we do so in prayer. In addition to this, are we always delivered from our troubles like the Scriptures are saying here according to David? Is it possible to hold God hostage to His Word, seeking something and expecting it and then getting angry because we do not get the answer we are looking for? Have you ever heard that said before, <\/span>\u201cholding God hostage to the Scriptures?\u201d<\/span> What are your thoughts on this? Many of us have grown up in the church, taught to love God and our savior Yeshua, to obey the Lord and to be involved in the church. Many of us also know the bible from cover to cover, however, is it possible to hold God hostage to our own belief system? Picking and choosing what works best for us at any given moment rather than simply trusting in God\u2019s Word, and His will for our lives no matter whether good or bad things happen to us? According to David, <\/span>34:17 The righteous cry, and the Lord hears And delivers them out of all their troubles. 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all. 34:20 He keeps all his bones, Not one of them is broken. 34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will be condemned. (NASB)<\/span> The point is that those who are righteous are those who have a relationship with the Lord, who love Him and seek Him daily. Our salvation is not simply about fire insurance or a way of getting out of hell. Our salvation is the start, the beginning of a wonderful relationship with the Lord God Almighty in His Son Yeshua the Messiah. the Lord does deliver us, he saves us, and yes there are many troubles that come our way like David said <\/span>\u201cmany are the afflictions of the righteous\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>34:19<\/span>). The point is whether we are delivered in this life or not, we are certainly delivered in the world to come (saved for eternity). What we do today, does effect our relationship with the Lord and the question is do we really love God, even in the midst of troubles? That topic of <\/span>\u201cmoral impurity\u201d<\/span> is closely related to Yeshua\u2019s words in <\/span>Matthew 7:21-23<\/span> regarding the righteous and the unrighteous, those who Yeshua speaks to saying <\/span>\u201cdepart from me you worker of lawlessness.\u201d<\/span> We know how significantly moral impurity affects our relationship with God. The morally impure person is the one who outwardly appears right, but inwardly is full of all kinds of defilements and uncleanness. Let\u2019s seek the Lord for cleansing and healing from the impurity of our hearts, only He is able to make us whole in every way. Let\u2019s pray!<\/span><\/p>\n
