As I read through this Parashas

Tzav is the 25^th in the torah cycle, this word Tzav mean to command. These chapters teaches us how to perform the Principles and Rituals described in Vayikra.

Usually when something of spiritual significant happens on a particular day, it is celebrate on that date every year. The Torah Portion illustrate that the first Sabbath HaGadol, the first revelation of Light, occurred on the 10 of Nissan “Abib,” on a Sabbath, and this revelation of Light occurs again each year on the Sabbath preceding Passover, irrespective on whether the 10^th fall on the Sabbath or not.

Sabbath Tzav is the only Sabbath in the entire Torah Cycle that merits the name Sabbath HaGadol, the Great Sabbath all by its self.

There are various explanation for the prominence of this Sabbath. It is called the Great Sabbath because all the Light revealed on the other Sabbath culminate on this Sabbath, the Sabbath before we Passover to the next Torah Cycle.

As the redemption from Egypt commence on the month of Nissan “Abib” and some believe that the Final Correction will also occur on this month.

In this Torah Portion we learn the value of spiritual growth. The hallmark of true spiritual work come when the student complete their spiritual goal and make themselves ready for the next assignment. If we choose to remain at one spiritual revelation, no other spiritual revelation will be made available to us. If we refused to  advance from the first day of Creation, we will never experience the second day.

When the three Disciples were on the Mt. of Transfiguration with Messiyah and they saw Him Transfigure with Moses and Elijah, they taught that was the hight of their spiritual development, they wanted to build three Tabernacle, Messiyah Yahushua said this is only the beginning of what you will see, there was a lot geated things to come.

In this Torah Portion we learn a precious lesson, that any great revelation is preceded by a time of Great sacrifice; hopelessness comes before a time of great elevation, The Sabbath of Tzav marks the end of the spiritual year and the beginning of the next. The Sacrifice one made in the last Torah Cycle will manifest in the fruit of the Spirit for the next Torah Cycle.

The first two chapter in Tzav discuss the offerings that have already been mentioned in previous chapter, such as: Olah offering (elevated offering), Minchah (meal offering), Shelamim (peace offering), Chatas (sin offering), and  Asham (guilt offering). The sin offering and the guilt offering is always a female animal, while the peace, elevation are male animals.

The Torah and its principles are written to those who wishes to become apart of the Kingdom of Heavens. The Torah speaks to Aaron and his four sons, the Mighty Hand of EL YAHWEH, the Five Fold Ministry on how they are to impart or to teach the people the laws require to sanctify them on their journey to perfection, which is one of the key requirements of the Kingdom.

Verse 1 – 6 continue to reveal to us the principle upon which the Kingdom is establish. The following verse deal with the handling of ash and and the fire from the Altars. The Tabernacle of the day require the removal of the previous day’s ash from the Altar.

In, addition, there was a general commandment to keep the Altar burning at all  time.

Chapter 6

Lev 6:1  And יהוה  spoke to Mosheh, saying, - It is always intresting to know that when a new sets of rule or principles are given, it always starts with, “EL YAHWEH spoke to Moses” that there can be no doubt who is the originator of the Idea.

Lev 6:2 “When any being sins, and committed a trespass against יהוה , and has lied to his neighbor about a deposit, or about a pledge, or about a robbery, or shall extort from his neighbor, - This is what the EL of all Elohim, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth says! When anyone who committed a transgression by lying, this is what they must do. Before we get to what must be done, notice how He compare those who lie, those who rob and those who extort from his neighbor, are from the same spirit. What this commandment is addressing is a particular mentality that is govern my a certain spirit. This was the spirit that the angels who followed Lucifer had, when they were in the Kingdom.

Lev 6:3 or has found what was lost and has lied concerning it, or did swear falsely, so that he sins in regard to any one of all these that a man does, - A person who found a lost item off another brother and did not return the item to his neighbor and lied to protect himself are one of the same sin.

Lev 6:4 then it shall be, when he sins, and shall be guilty, that he shall return what he took by robbery, or what he has extorted, or the deposit which was deposited with him, or the lost item which he found, - It shall be when he decided to own up to his transgression, He must return first what was taken. He cannot just say I am sorry. That does not work.

Lev 6:5 or all that about which he swore falsely. He shall repay its total value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whom it belongs, on the day of his guilt offering. – If in the process of lying, he cost someone else to experience a lost, He must return it plus 20%. When he goes to do his sin offering he must also bring 20% of the cost to his neighbor.

Lev 6:6 “Then he brings his guilt offering to יהוה , a ram, a perfect one, from the flock, with your valuation, as a guilt offering, to the priest. – He must then bring his guilt offering the cost of a perfect lamb to the congregation, and El Yahushua will make the necessary atonement for him. The guilt offering does not negate that restoration of the item lose to the victim as is often taught today. Restoration in full plus 20% must be made. This fine is a deterrence against sinning. If however, all a person has to do is to ask for forgiveness without compensation to the victim, then the impetuous to change one behavior is greatly diminishes. Just saying I am sorry is not good enough. There must be a penalty, even if the evidence was not deliberate. The guilty party must also acknowledge his error, as action contrary to Torah.

We cannot overcome our sin if we do not acknowledge of sin, for our sin expose a problem in our character. By paying a fine to the injured party, and acknowledge of error, the spiritual process of repairing that flaw will start, the dismantling of the spirit “root cause” behind this tendency to break any of the command in this discussion.

Lev 6:7 “And the priest shall make atonement for him before יהוה , and he shall be forgiven for whatever he did that made him guilty.” – El Yahushua will make atonement for us only when the previous requirement are made. By acknowledging our fault as contrary to Torah and make the necessary monetary contribution, El Yahushua will atone for our sins, this will release the Holy Spirit to do a work in us, which will end up with the creation of a new attitude towards that sin.

Lev 6:8 And יהוה  spoke to Mosheh, saying, - Again we read that it is EL YAHWEH who spoke to Moses, it did not say that Moses wrote his own words.

Lev 6:9 “Command Aharon and his sons, saying, ‘This is the Torah of the burnt offering: This is the burnt offering, because it is burned on the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar is kept burning on it. – Command the Mighty Hand, the five Fold Ministry to implement the following law or teaching to the people, re-guarding the burnt offering. It should be burned all night until morning.

The spiritual implication, is that when anyone come to Justification, initial salvation and offer a burnt offering, those things that we need to get rid of, we must not stop working with that individual until all the offering, those bad habits are taken care of at this Altar. This also imply that the Brazen Altar must remain open 24/7 that whosoever may come at any time will find this Altar open to them.

The night, represent those dark period of our live when we are required to remove those or anythings that cause us to be in darkness spiritually.

Lev 6:10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and put his linen trousers on his body, and shall take up the ashes of the burnt offering which the fire has consumed on the altar, and shall put them beside the altar. -  Although this verse only specified two garments, the majority of the Kohem service is invalid unless he wears all four of his required vestments. These two garments seem to imply that the require minimum covering for this position is righteousness, righteousness is living according to the all the law. If the priest is living according to the basic requirement of the law, they are qualify to operate at this position spiritually.

The ash of the burn offering is that which is the residue of the cleansing process, those thing that have gone Thought the fire, the ash is what is left over from the process.  When some have gone through the fire of affliction, and those things that are nothing more than stubble's, useless commodities, are exposed, this level of priesthood may assist in the final removal of the ash. Ash is nothing more than useless waste, things that are of no spiritual value. The fire of affliction exposes these commodities to or character traits to us, these traits must not be allowed to exist within the camp. These ash, even Thought they are not of themselves evil, they are off no value spiritual.
