HRB as a Bible Stidy Tool

If you love Me, keep My commandments†.

(John 14:15) (HRB note: Love and obedience go hand and hand).

Those familiar with this site know that I frequently talk about love and obedience. Since the article “In The Spotlight” this week is about the Hebraic Roots Bible (HRB) I thought I would add a little extra here to show folks that I am far from being alone in emphasizing the importance of listening to what YHWH says. The following are some HRB Note samples from Proverbs:

Proverbs

Proverbs are the art of skillful living. This can only be accomplished in ones life if they fully submit to YHWH's spirit for discernment.

Proverbs 1:7

The fear of YHWH is the starting point to repentance and a true relationship with YAHWEH and YAHSHUA, the Creators of the universe.

Proverbs 1:9

The Torah is YHWH's eternal moral code and His very character. Grace is His mercy to forgive when we inadvertently violate His Holy Torah. To live by the Torah is to keep His mercy and grace around our neck on a daily basis.

Proverbs 1:15

Verse 10-15- Bad companionship ruin good habits,

Proverbs 1:29

Proverbs consistently calls those who hate instruction and Yahweh's judicial order as “fools”.

Proverbs 1:33

Whereas the fool is not willing to take instruction and only relies on his own pride, the humble of heart who trust in Yahweh as their refuge will always be protected.

Proverbs 2:5

Verses 1-5 - The fear of YHWH comes from obedience to His commandments. Those who accept a lawless false grace are prideful and don't have the fear of YHWH. However, they will not escape His judgment,

Proverbs 4:6

Verses 1-6 - As any good father would give sound advice to their children, here the most sound advice is to keep the Torah of YHWH for happiness, wisdom and life, (Deu_10:12-13, Pro_3:1, Psalms 119).

Proverbs 5:1

Over and over again in the proverbs is the theme of seeking and listening to the wisdom of YHWH. Although wisdom is poetically acclaimed at times, these are simply metaphors and wisdom is something to be acquired but is not a person or being.

Proverbs 6:19

Verses 16-19 - Two words that are rarely seen in scripture are “YHWH” with the word “hate”. This shows how much YAHWEH despises pride, gossip, and a false accusing spirit. Pro_12:17; Pro_19:5; Pro_19:9; Pro_21:28

Proverbs 6:23

Verses 20-23 -Shows that the commandments were never meant to forgive sin, but are meant to show one the way to walk in life and stay on the straight and narrow path. The word Torah is better translated as “instruction” instead of “law”. It is instruction for life, as sin (the breaking of the Torah, 1Jn_3:4) is instruction for death. Psa_119:165, Pro_7:1-2

Proverbs 7:3

Verses 1-3 - Keeping YHWH's commandments and His Torah are always equated with keeping one's life or soul, Mat_19:17, Pro_4:4, Psa_19:7-11, Deu_32:46-47, Deu_30:15-20.

Proverbs 9:10

It is the fear of YHWH that will lead one to heartfelt repentance that will in turn lead to knowledge, wisdom understanding and instruction. Without the fear of YHWH, the pride of man will rule in his heart, Pro_16:18, Pro_29:23, Pro_1:7; Pro_15:33

Proverbs 13:10

Arguments come many times by those who are not willing to be corrected, Pro_9:9

Proverbs 13:12

It takes great faith in the word of YHWH to stay focused and not get discouraged in this present wicked, end time, generation.

Proverbs 13:24

Correction to a child is showing love teaching them discipline (Heb_12:5-8), but the parent that does not take the time to correct his child is not showing love, (Pro_19:18, Pro_22:15; Pro_23:13-14; Pro_29:15; Pro_29:7, Pro_3:12)

Proverbs 14:15

Naïve people many times will rashly believe something without proving it to be true and then, later, change to something else. The prudent person will prove the truth to himself and then, hold on to it forever,

Proverbs 16:5

Many times people are persuaded by a mob mentality not to go against the majority, but a person is responsible for his decision in supporting an injustice or not standing up for the truth, Lev_5:1. Pro_6:16-19, Psa_40:4

Proverbs 23:17

A true believer should have more fear of YHWH, than fear of wanting to please man.

Proverbs 23:18

A true believer’s hope is in the resurrection, Psa_16:9-11

Proverbs 24:16

The true spirit led believer never quits, even if he falters, he will repent and move on.

Proverbs 28:4

The lawless will praise the wicked because there are no moral absolutes in their lives,

Proverbs 28:9

The Torah is the moral code of conduct in life and breaking the Torah is sin ( 1Jn_3:4). Those who rebelliously turn away from hearing the Torah, even their prayer becomes an abomination.

Proverbs 28:9

The Torah is the moral code of conduct in life and breaking the Torah is sin ( 1Jn_3:4). Those who rebelliously turn away from hearing the Torah, even their prayer becomes an abomination.

EXTRA EXTRAS

The Torah as defined by Wikipedia: (/ˈtɔːrəˌˈtoʊrə/; Hebrew: תּוֹרָה, "Instruction, Teaching").

According to the KJVC:

Words translated as law – Torah (H8451) 219 times, chôq (H2706) 126 times;

word translated as statute – chûqqâh (H2708); and word translated as commandment – mitsvâh (H4687), 181 times.

The Torah and the commandments are not the same thing. Consider:

And YAHWEH said to Moses, Come up to Me to the mountain, and be there.

And I will give to you the tablets of stone, and the Torah, and the commandments

which I have written, to teach them.

(Exodus 24:12)

For you shall listen to the voice of YAHWEH your Elohim, to keep His

commandments and His statutes which are written in the book of this Torah.

For you shall turn back toward YAHWEH your Elohim, with all your heart and

with all your soul.

(Deuteronomy 30:10)

And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he

may learn to fear YAHWEH your Elohim, to keep all the Words of this Torah

and these statutes, to do them;

(Deuteronomy 17:19)

The Torah of YAHWEH is perfect, converting the soul. The Testimony of YAHWEH

is sure, making the simple wise. The precepts of YAHWEH are right, rejoicing

the heart. The commandments of YAHWEH are clear, giving light to the eyes.

The fear of YAHWEH is clean, enduring forever. The judgments ofYAHWEH are

true, they are righteous altogether. They are more precious than gold,

even much fine gold, and sweeter than honey and drops from the honeycomb†.

(Psalms 19:7-10)

(HRB NOTE: Verses 7-10 is showing the perfectness of Yahweh's Torah and how obedience to it only brings blessings in life.)
