Mitswah • Instructions
To understand the Mitswah | Instructions, we must turn to Yahowah’s Towrah | Teaching, where Moseh revealed the value of observing them…
“You should observe (wa shamar) His clearly communicated prescriptions of what we should do to be cut into the relationship (choq huw’) in addition to the instructive conditions regarding what He is offering and what He expects in return (mitswah huw’) which, to enjoy the benefits (’asher), I have provided as instructions and directions for you (’anoky tsawah ’atah) this day (ha yowm).
Then, as a result of the relationship (’asher), He will be good to you and accepting of you (yatab la ’atah), and of your children (wa la beny ’atah) after you (’achar ‘atah), while also (wa la ma’an) elongating your days (’arak yowmym) on the earth (’al ha ’adamah) which (’asher) Yahowah (Yahowah), your God (’elohym ’atah), is giving to you (nathan la ’atah) for all time (kol ha yowmym).“ (Dabarym / Words / Deuteronomy 4:40)
“This is (wa zo’th) the Towrah | Guidance (ha Towrah) which (‘asher) He placed before (sym la paneh) Moseh (Mosheh) and the Children of Yisra’el (beny Yisra’el). This is (’el leh) the enduring Witness and restoring Testimony (‘eduwth), the clearly communicated prescriptions for living (wa ha choq), along with the ways to execute good judgment regarding the means to correctly resolve disputes (wa ha mishpat) which (‘asher) Moseh (Mosheh) spoke to (dabar ‘el) the Yisra’elites (beny Yisra’el) when they came out (ba yatsa’ hem min) of the Crucibles of Religious and Political Oppression (Mitsraym).” (Dabarym / Words / Deuteronomy 4:44-45)
“He has established (quwm) the eternal Witness and restoring Testimony (‘eduwth) with (ba) Ya’aqob (Ya’aqob) by having constituted and placed (suwm) the Towrah (Towrah) with (ba) Yisra’el (Yisra’el). For the benefit of the relationship (’asher), He provided directions (tsawah) to our fathers (’eth ‘ab ‘anachnuw) to make this known (la yada’ hem) to their children (la ben hem), (Mizmowr 78:5) explicitly for (la ma’an) the last (’acharown) generation (dowr), for children yet unborn (ben yalad), to rise up and support (quwm) this written record which is documented in a series of books (saphar) for their descendants (la ben hem).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 78:6)
