In the last Torah portion the people of Yahweh received the Ten Words on Mt. Sinai. In this portion, the LORD gives Moses the judgments for the people. There many different situations and circumstances that are addressed in those few chapters. This is the part of the Bible that most people don’t read, but in actuality it is an important part. It reveals how Yahweh intended man to treat his fellow man: with justice and righteousness. These mishpatim are the guidelines for rules of conduct that help man to know how he should worship Yahweh, treat his neighbor and his neighbor’s property. Yahweh is concerned with the issues that create community. There are tow other important themes in this portion that we didn’t get to cover: The Angel with the Name in him from Ex. 23:20-23 and the covenant meal on the mountain in Ex. 24. We have an earlier podcast that discusses the Angel with the Name, we encourage you to check it out. Both of these would require separate podcasts to cover in detail. Definitly great study topics! Shalom.
