Hi folks,
In keeping with the spirit of Festival celebrations, I’m keeping work to a minimum this week. I have, however, tidied up the posting on Passover, adding in the non-transcribed Hebrew script. Check it out…
…Pasakh
The week of Passover started last night at sunset. Lamb is difficult to purchase on my little Island corner of the world, and ground lamb was all I could find, so I compromised by making some delicious lamb meatballs (with almond flour as a binding agent). Very delicious!
I try, always, to have lamb on Passover. The symbolism has great meaning for me, and it feels special to eat what Yeshua and the disciples would have had every year during the Festival.
Today many of us are also celebrating Palm Sunday in anticipation of the upcoming Holy Week. Yeshua rode into Jerusalem with great celebration, but He would have known how quickly the cheering would turn into jeering. In less than a week He would be put on trial, condemned, and executed and all along Yeshua knew His fate. Nevertheless, He faced it all with grace:
John 10:14-18
[Yeshua:] “I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it back. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. This commandment I received from My Father.”
Yeshua was the Good Shepherd and He was so good at being our Shepherd that He become one of the things that He was shepherding. He became one of us in order to save us. He became the Passover Lamb. That’s the kind of Shepherd I want to follow… and that’s the kind of shepherd I want to be.
May you all have a special week of commemoration and celebration, remembering Yeshua’s gift of sacrifice given in love for you. Shalom!
Next week: ARK of the Covenant

Happy Chag Peshach (Pe_patach/Shin_patach/Chet?).
Would you please write about opening (Pe_segol/Tav), and coming down.
In addition, except for page 322, I have a full snip set (Windows11) of Langsheit’s Pocket Dictionary, snipped from the Wayback Machine copy.
I am interested in creating a PDF of these page snips (currently in two page format) with the help of others to make a free copy of an out of copyright book available for download as a PDF. That is necessary since the Wayback Machine does not have a PDF, and that is because they were recently hacked, and many valuable book’s, information sets, and PDFs were stolen.
