This Week's Study Questions

Questions by Frank Foster
Last updated:  September 21, 2026

TORAH

FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
  1.  Gn 1:14  What does is revealed about the place of YHWH’s appointed times within creation?
  2. Ex 12:15-20; Dt 16:1-8  Why is the removal of leaven joined to Passover?  What was Israel commanded to remember during the Feast of Unleavened Bread?
  3. Lv 23:9-22  What connects the first fruits offering, the counting of seven weeks, the offering of new grain, and the command to leave part of the harvest to the poor and the stranger?
  4. Lv 23:33-43; Dt 16:13-15  Why did YHWH command Israel to rejoice while dwelling in the temporary shelters?  What were they never to forget about His provision?
  5. Ex 23:14-17; Lv.23:1-44; Dt 16:1-17 Taken together, what do the appointed feasts teach about redemption, provision, remembrance, justice, worship, and YHWH dweling among His people?

SHABBAT

GEARED FOR OUR MAIN GATHERING
  1.  The feasts follow the agricultural year, but they also retell Israel’s relationship to YHWH.  How do they trace a journey from deliverance to dwelling?
  2. Why does Torah require Israel to remember YHWH’s acts through appointed times practices rather than through memory alone?
  3. How do the commands concerning the poor, the stranger, the Levite, the orphan, and the widow show that celebrating YHWH’s provision carries responsibility toward others?
  4. What do the feasts reveal about the difference between merely receiving YHWH’s blessings and learning to live as His covenant people?

What's a Torah Portion?

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'” – Messiah Yeshua

Translations at Yeshua's House

Legacy Standard Bible

OUR MAIN GATHERING BIBLE
The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. And because none of us are fluent in those languages, we need a translation. While no translation is perfect, some are certainly better than others. At Yeshua's House the Legacy Standard Bible is our go-to "readable translation." It's not too much, and it's not too little. It's a relatively faithful word-for-word translation. What's more, it reintroduces Yahweh (YHWH) and Yah back into the text, thus familiarizing the reader, once again, with the Name of God. It was always there, in the original languages, but history stole that from us. Gratefully, the LSB translators put it back.

The Scriptures

The Scriptures are what we use for Bible study. It's mostly in English, but introduces the reader to the Hebrew language. For some, this can be overwhelming. But if you have the mind for it, it's a nice introduction, allowing the reader to passively become accustomed to the Bible Jesus and His followers would have read (sans the New Testament, of course). In the Scriptures, Moses becomes Moshe. David become Dawid. Egypt becomes Mitsrayim. It's not trying to be confusing. Quiet the opposite. It's goal is to help you make biblical connections. The more we understand the Hebrew language, the better interpreters we'll be of Scripture.
