Mesorah of Mark 143-144

Torah in Time

There is little discussion that the Torah Should be read according to some schedule. And, there are a great number of schedules whereby one could read the Torah. Why do we read the Torah according to any schedule at all? Can we read the Torah any time we want? What happens when we read the Torah according to the Triennial Torah reading cycle?

How does all of the relate to me personally?

This class looks at the Torah in relation to time.

Many of the above questions will be answered in this class.

Yeshua’s Final Words

This class starts by looking at the statement made by the centurion “this man was god’s son.” What do these words mean as they proceed from the mouth of a Roman centurion?

We then discussed the veil (curtain) that was torn from top to bottom. Which curtain was torn and what implications does this have as we read it from the Markan text?

We discuss the time of day as recorded in the Markan text and its relation to the words of Yeshua on the cross. (executioners stake).

We conclude with the question; What were the final words of Yeshua as stated in the Book of Mark?  In this class we will looked at the final words of Yeshua as they were spoken in Aramaic. We asked the Question: What do the final words “Eil, Eil, Lemana Shabaqthani” really mean?

We discussed these things and more in this Torah Focus.
