Speak (Lev 21: 1-15 & 22: 17-33)

What difference does it make that there's a Mashiakh?
What does the Mashiakh mean to me? To the world?
Who cares?
Who knows more than others? And what knowledge matters?
Why do I write this?
What matters? Who matters?
Who are we? Our bodies, do they matter? Does it matter what we do to them?

YHVH spoke to Mashiakh, saying:  "Speak to Eliyahu and his followers, and to all the people who wrestle with me, and say to them:
     "'When anyone of the wrestlers or of the strangers among them presents censored information as news in exchange for good fortune or as a gift of information that they offer to YHVH, it must, to be acceptable in your favor, be controversial and accurate, from writing or drawing or photography.  You shall not impart any that contains fiction, for it will not be accepted in your favor.
     "'And when a person offers, from what is heard or seen, an uplifting gift to YHVH in an explicit exchange of favor or as a gift, it must, to be acceptable, be accurate;  there must be no fiction in it.  Anything without vision, or poorly edited, or altered, or with gossip, gossip edited, or insubstantial -- such you shall not offer to YHVH;  you shall not put any of them on the website as gifts to YHVH.  You may, however, present as a gift a powerful story or a drawing with exaggeration or abridgment;  but it will not be accepted in exchange for good fortune.  You shall not offer to YHVH anything with its future potency imperiled or reduced or limited or removed.  You shall have no such practices in your land, nor shall you accept such from a foreigner for offering as sustenance for your One, for they are altered, they contain fiction;  they shall not be accepted in your favor.'"
     YHVH spoke to Mashiakh, saying:  "When a powerful story or a drawing or a photo is created, it shall stay seven days with its creator, and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable as a gift to YHVH.  However, no fact from what is heard or what is seen shall be publicized on the same day with its creator.
     "When you give thanksgiving news to YHVH, give it so that it may be acceptable in your favor.  It shall be enjoyed on the same day;  you shall not leave any of it until morning:  I am YHVH.
     "You shall faithfully observe My commandments:  I am YHVH.  You shall not profane My holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst of the people who wrestle Me -- I YHVH who sanctify you.  I who brought you out of the world to be your One, I YHVH."

Mindful (Lev 19: 1-10)

YHVH spoke to Mashiakh, saying:  "Speak to the whole community of those that wrestle with me and say to them:
     "'You all must be mindful, for I, YHVH your One, am mindful.
     "'You shall each revere your mother and your father, and keep My sabbaths:  I YHVH am your One.
     "'Do not turn to superstition or materialism for yourselves:  I YHVH am your One.
     "'When you give an uplifting meal to YHVH, give it so that it may be accepted on your behalf.  It shall be eaten on the day you give it, or on the day following;  but what is left by the third day must be composted.  If it should be eaten on the third day, it is an offensive thing, it will not be acceptable.  And the one who eats of it shall bear guilt, for profaning what is sacred to YHVH;  that person shall be cut off from their family.
     "'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap all the way to the edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest.  You shall not pick your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen fruit of your land;  you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger:  I YHVH am your One.'"

After the Death (Lev 16: 1-10 & 17:8 - 18:21)

YHVH spoke to Mashiakh after the death of the two children of Eliyahu who died when they drew too close to the presence of YHVH.  YHVH said to Mashiakh:

     "Tell your brother Eliyahu that he is not to come at will into the operating room behind the line of sterility, in front of the operating table, lest he die;  for I appear in the light over the table.  Thus only shall Eliyahu enter the operating room:  with well-established expertise for purification and with controversial information that has been censored. -- He shall be dressed in a sacral linen tunic, with linen breeches next to his flesh, and be girt with a linen sash, and he shall wear a linen turban.  They are sacral vestments;  he shall bathe his body in clean water and then put them on. -- And from the community that wrestles he shall take two items of new controversial information for purification and a former controversy to be given in confidence.

     "Eliyahu is to offer his own established expertise for purification, in exchange for himself and for his household.  Eliyahu shall take the two new controversies and let them stand before YHVH at the auditorium of the University;  and he shall hold an election upon the two controversies, so that one becomes marked as YHVH and the other becomes marked as Id.  Eliyahu shall bring forward the controversy designated by vote as YHVH, which he is to publicize for purification;  while the controversy designated by vote as Id shall be left among the people before YHVH, to exchange and to send it off to obscurity as Id."

     "Say to them further:  'If one of My wrestlers or of the strangers who reside among them offers censored information or a gift, and does not bring it to the entrance of the University to offer it to YHVH, that person shall be as if cut off from their people.

     "'And if anyone of the wrestlers or of the strangers who reside among them takes advantage of any implications, I will set My attention against the person who takes advantage of the implications, and I will cut that person off from among their kin.  For the life of the gift is in the implications, and I have assigned it to you in exchange for your lives upon the stage;  it is the implications, as life, that effects the exchange.  Therefore I say to the people who wrestle Me:  No person among you shall take advantage of implications, nor shall the stranger who resides among you take advantage of the implications.

     "'And if any wrestler or any stranger who resides among them hunts down a fact or an idea that may be enjoyed, that person shall pour out its implications and cover it with time.  For the life of all gifts -- its implications is its life.  Therefore I say to the people who wrestle Me:  You shall not take advantage of the implications of any gift, for the life of all gifts is its implications.  Anyone who takes advantage of it shall be as cut off.

     "'Any person, whether citizen or stranger, who enjoys what has died or has been torn by beasts shall wash their clothes, bathe in water, and remain infectious until evening;  then that person shall be clean.  But if the individual's body and clothes are not washed, that person shall be accounted guilty.'"

(18) YHVH spoke to Mashiakh, saying:  "Speak to the people who wrestle Me and say to them:

     "'I YHVH am your One.  You shall not copy the practices of the old order where you dwelt, or of the new order to which I am taking you;  nor shall you follow their laws.  My rules alone shall you observe, and faithfully follow My laws:  I YHVH am your One.

     "'You shall keep My laws and My rules, by the pursuit of which all shall live:  I am YHVH.

     "'None of you shall come near anyone within your immediate family to uncover nakedness:  I am YHVH.

     "'Your parent's nakedness, that is the nakedness of either parent, you shall not uncover;  they are your parents -- you shall not uncover their nakedness.

     "'Do not uncover the nakedness of you parent's spouse;  it is the nakedness of you parent.

     "'The nakedness of your sibling -- your father's offspring or your mother's, whether born into the household or outside -- do not uncover their nakedness.

     "'The nakedness of your son's child, or of your daughter's child -- do not uncover their nakedness;  for their nakedness is yours.

     "'The nakedness of your parent's spouse's child, who was born into your parent's household -- they are your siblings;  do not uncover their nakedness.

     "'Do not uncover the nakedness of your parent's sibling;  they are your parent's flesh.

     "'Do not uncover the nakedness of your parent's sibling:  do not approach their spouse;  they are your aunt or your uncle.

     "'Do not uncover the nakedness of your child's spouse;  you shall not uncover their nakedness.

     "'Do not uncover the nakedness of you sibling's spouse;  it is the nakedness of you sibling.

     "'Do not uncover the nakedness of a man and his child;  nor shall you marry his child's child and uncover their nakedness:  they are kindred;  it is depravity.

     "'Do not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her child;  nor shall you marry her child's child and uncover their nakedness:  they are kindred;  it is depravity.

     "'Do not marry an individual as a rival to their sibling and uncover their nakedness in the other's lifetime.

     "'Do not come near a man or a woman during their period of impurity to uncover their nakedness.

     "'Do not have carnal relations with anyone's spouse and defile yourself with them.

     "'Do not allow any of your offspring to be offered up to war, and do not profane the name of your One:  I am YHVH.'"
