Pray
For The Peace Of Jerusalem
Psalm 122:6
KJV
and
thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may
minister unto me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely
be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
Exodus
40:12-15 KJV
Did you know that
if you are Jewish, firstborn, male, whose parents are neither High Priests
or (Cohanim or Levites) and your mother didn't have a previous miscarriage
... and you were born in the usual manner, not by ceasarean section, you
are required to be redeemed from a High Priest? (Cohen.)
This
good deed (mitzvah) goes back to 3,321 years ago during the Exodus from
Egypt.
THE TRANGRESSION
Before the
transgression of the
Golden Calf, the firstborn sons were designated
to be the priests unto the Most High God (Cohanim) for the nation of Israel.
"For
all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast:
on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified
them for myself."
Numbers
8:17 KJV
However, since
they and all the males of every tribe except the tribe of Levy
were involved
in the incident with the Golden Calf, the priesthood was taken away
from them. It was instead given to the descendants of Aaron from the tribe
of Levy.
"And
I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel."
Numbers
8:18 KJV
Even though the
firstborn lost their positions, they were still consecrated to the Almighty
for all time; they require a PIDYON, a redemption, of their holiness.
"But
the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem
him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy
sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty."
Exodus
34:20 KJV
The Jewish tradition
teaches that in the time of the Final Redemption the firstborns
will be returned to the position of PriestHood or (Cohanim.) All
Isreal will be saved.
The final redemption
has already taken place through the death and resurrection of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Please
read Hebrews 9: 11-27 KJV
The final redemtion
has already taken place. Yeshua (Jesus) has come, redemmed us and paid
the price, He walked into the Holy of Holies with His own blood and redemmed
us with His own life.
Returned in
John
20:19 and gave the pomise of eternal
redemtion of Hebrews 9:15 to
His disciples. The Holy Ghost.
"ye
also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."
1
Peter 2:5 KJV
"But ye
are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you
out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
1
Peter 2:9 KJV
THE CEREMONY
The ceremony
is called a Pidyon HaBen, Redeeming the Son.
The father
is required to circumsised the son on the eigth day and on the 31th
day from his birth redeem his son with five silver shekels or coins. They
had to amount to 117 grams of silver.
This
is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after
thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Genesis
17: 10 KJV
And he that
is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your
generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any
stranger, which is not of thy seed.
Genesis
17:12 KJV
CIRCUMCISION
IN THE ANCIENT WORLD
The
rite of circumcision is far older than the Hebrew people. Cave paintings
give evidence that it was practiced in prehistoric times. Egyptian temple
drawings show that the operation was common in 4000 BC and probably earlier.
Peoples practicing circumcision lived on almost every continent. And the
practice was first adopted by Hebrews as a covenant from the Most High
God.
The rite was
observed among Central and South American Indians, Polynesians, the peoples
of New Guinea, many Australian and African tribes, Egyptians, and pre-Islamic
Arabs.
The rite however
is not mentioned in the Koran, the sacred book of the Muslims since this
is only a Covenant of the True god of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. But because
Muhammad was circumcised, tradition dictates that male Muslims must follow
the ancient custom.
Until the age
of 13, the father is responsible to redeem the son. After that, the son
is required to redeem himself until he dies.
A High Priest
(Cohen) told me once of a celebration where the son, the father and the
grandfather all had their redemption ceremonies, one following the other.
Though it is a rare celebration, it is a very festive and spiritual celebration.
It takes place
during a Seudas Mitzvah, an obligatory festive meal. The Seudas
Mitzvah is compossed of at least a minyan, or 10 Jewish males,
and all have to be over 13 years old or after they have received Bar-Mitzvah.
They first wash their hands then they eat bread. After the meal has begun,
the ceremony can take place.
THE
BABY
The 31 day
old baby is brought in on a silver tray adorned with jewelry from the attending
women. This is done to beautify the good deed or the redemtion (mitzvah.)
"But
the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem
him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy
sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty."
Exodus
34:20 KJV
The father presents
the baby to the High Priest (Cohen) and declares that the baby is the first
born to his mother according to all of the requirements of the Law (Torah.)
The High Priest
(Cohen) then asks the father, "Which do you prefer - to give me your
first born ... or to redeem him for five shekels as the Law (Torah)
obligates you?"
The father
declares, "I wish to redeem my son and I give you the value of his redemption
as I am required to do by the Law" (Torah)
The father
then takes 5 silver coins, some High Priests (Cohanim) have a custom to
use 6 coins to make sure that the amount of silver exceeds the minimum
requirement of (117 grams) and recites the following blessing:
"Blessed
are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us with
His commandments and commanded us regarding the redemption of the son."
Then he recites
a second blessing:
"Blessed
are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who has kept us alive, sustained
us, and brought us to this time."
The High Priest
(Cohen) accepts the money, makes a verbal declaration that the child is
redeemed and blesses him with the traditional blessing of the High Priest
(Cohanim:)
"May
the Almighty make you like Ephraim and Menashe.
May the
Almighty bless you and safeguard you.
May the
Almighty shine His countenance upon you and be gracious unto you;
May He lift
up His countenance upon you and give you peace."
The High Priest
(Cohen) returns the child to the father, takes a cup of wine and makes
the blessing over the wine. And then everyone continues with their meal.
The True Jewish
Kabbalah and not the counterfeit one,
(By
the way not all works bearing the name Kabbalah is authentic. The term
has been falsely used by many different kinds of charlatans, leading
detractors to associate it with magic and witchcraft, which are the
very opposite of the true Kabbalah.)
tells us that
attending a Pidyon HaBen, Redeeming the Son is equal to 84
fasts which atone for many transgressions! However we know that the the
book of Hebrews declares that there is no atoenment without the shedding
of Blood.
And
almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding
of blood is no remission.
Hebrews
9:22 KJV
The question the
High Priest (Cohen) asks the father "Which do you prefer, the baby or the
money?" is on one hand rhetorical and on the other hand a very deep question.
There is NO
WAY a father is going to or allowed to give his son to a High Priest. (Cohen)
However, there is a very powerful question that every parent should keep
in mind.
"Which do you
prefer, your child or spending more time in the office?"
We as ministers
of the word and parents must always be aware that our children come first
before all our other desires and responsibilities.
By
no means all works bearing the name Kabbalah are authentic.
The term has
been falsely used by many different kinds of charlatans, leading detractors
to associate it with magic and witchcraft, which are the very opposite
of the true Kabbalah.
In
rabbinic Hebrew, the word kabbalah refers to an item or items of
Torah knowledge received from a reliable source.
The term is
applied both to the biblical prophets (as in Rashi on Exodus 12:39)
or to teachings from the Oral Law handed down by the Rabbis to their
students by word of mouth.
