The following notes are a summation only of the video dialogue.

Welcome to NI’s midrash on Parasha Mattot Massei. “Parasha Mattot Massei 5785 (2024)” explains: the requirment to uphold our vows, oaths, and promises, (as well as taking care of the words we speak) and how Kol Nidre (recited during the Jewish Yum Kippur) violates the written Torah of Moshe by excusing the breaking of all vows.

Parasha Matto Massei also shows how both Israel and Judah are guilty of make Yahweh’s name desolate in violation of the (so-referred to as) third commandment, the  idolatry found in both houses historically and today, and the mission to expose false doctrine, to bring both houses to repentance before Yahweh Elohim, and reunify the two houses upon the the Tanakh (the written Torah of Moshe and the Prophets).

Addressing questions

Comment #1 of the week:
“Shabbat shalom 🎉❤ Please dont change anything in the way you Teache!! The way you teach is unique and in depth and by comparing or showing what the Talmud and other are wrong according to thora!!! That give a better understanding of what ywhy says and what he means!!!! Shalom alejem.”

[Previous] question of the week:
“Can you please please talk about something else than battling with them about the Talmud, what they do, what they say? And concentrate on teaching the Word? Please.”

Comment #2 of the week:
“Yes please stop you spend too much time with politics and we used to enjoy the torah teachings.”

NI response [Nasi’s assistant]:
“Shalom, sorry, I am not sure we have met before. Should I address you as [name withheld]? And could I please ask you to please clarify your comment?

“I hope you will give my answer genuine consideration. It may be a little direct, but as this is a common issue in Ephraim, and [with your] public comment, there is a need to clarify the mission.

“From our side, it sounds like you are demanding NI to stop obeying Yahweh by implementing what He speaks for His people to do in the Scriptures. And to stop listening to Him, and to redirect the mission toward what you enjoy more. I think that maybe that is not the message you mean to portray, but that is what it seems like from our end.

“Because by saying that NI spends too much time speaking on and implementing the things that He speaks of in Scripture, and that you would much rather we [give] His people an enjoyable study, it means [you want us] to allow His people to continue the cycle of only learning about what they are supposed to do. While not implementing anything. 

“We apologize, but we do not understand what you are asking or how your demand upon NI helps build the kingdom Yahweh wants… As these things we speak on are the things spoken in Scripture, which we are called to implement in order to give Yahweh what “He wants”. (Contrary to what many Ephraimites practice, it is about what Yahweh wants, and not about enjoying ourselves, or placing ourselves on the throne.)”

“Shalom, I hope this was helpful.”

Comment #2 of the week:
“Yes please stop you spend too much time with politics and we used to enjoy the torah teachings.”

[Nasi’s assistant]:
“He [Ephraim] treats the kingdom like entertainment, kind of like he feels entitled to yell at football players to play differently because they aren’t happy with the show.”He [Ephraim] needs to learn that the kingdom is not given for his entertainment.”

Ivrim (Hebrews) 5:12

Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 37:16-17
16  “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’

Mattityahu (Matthew) 14:3-4
3  For Herod had laid hold of Yochanan and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4  Because Yochanan had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

Kol Nidre /ˈkɔːl nɪˈdreɪ/ (also known as Kol Nidrei or Kol Nidrey;[1] Aramaic: כָּל נִדְרֵי kāl niḏrē) is an Aramaic declaration which begins Yom Kippur services in the synagogue. Strictly speaking, it is not a prayer, even though it is commonly spoken of as if it were a prayer.

Wikipedia Kol Nidre
The formula, depending on rite, either proactively annuls any personal or religiousoaths or prohibitions which are made between oneself and God in the course of the next year, so as to preemptively avoid the sin of breaking vows which are made to God but are not or cannot be upheld, or annuls any vows taken in the preceding year.

Wikipedia Kol Nidre
“All vows, and prohibitions, and oaths, and consecrations… that we may vow, or swear, or consecrate, or prohibit upon ourselves, from the previous Day of Atonement until this Day of Atonement and …from this Day of Atonement until the [next] Day of Atonement that will come for our benefit…”

Wikipedia Kol Nidre
“…Regarding all of them, we repudiate them. All of them are undone, abandoned, cancelled, null and void, not in force, and not in effect. Our vows are no longer vows, and our prohibitions are no longer prohibitions, and our oaths are no longer oaths…”

Wikipedia Kol Nidre
“…and in the nineteenth century expunged from the prayer-book by many communities of western Europe, it has often been employed by Christians to support their assertion that the oath of a Jew can not be trusted.[4]”

3  “Or if a woman makes a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by some agreement while in her father’s house in her youth,

Bemidbar (Numbers) 30:13
13  “Every vow and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband may confirm it, or her husband may make it void…”

Bemidbar (Numbers) 30:14
14  “Now if her husband makes no response whatever to her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all the agreements that bind her; he confirms them, because he made no response to her on the day that he heard them…”

Kepha Aleph (1 Peter) 5:5
5  Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble.”

Bemidbar (Numbers) 31:2-3
2  “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the children of Israel. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”

Bemidbar (Numbers) 31:6-7
6  Then Moshe sent them to the war, one thousand from each tribe; he sent them to the war with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the set-apart articles and the signal trumpets in his hand.

16  “Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against Yahweh in the incident of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of Yahweh.”

Sefaria: Talmud Tractate Avodah Zarah 37a
“Since a nine-year-old boy is fit to engage in intercourse, he also imparts ritual impurity as one who experienced ziva. Ravina said: Therefore, with regard to a female gentile child who is three years and one day old, since she is fit to engage in intercourse at that age, she also imparts impurity as one who experienced ziva.”

Sefaria: Talmud Tractate Ketubot 11b
“Rava said that this is what the Mishna is saying: An adult man who engaged in intercourse with a minor girl less than three years old has done nothing, as intercourse with a girl less than three years old is tantamount to poking a finger into the eye.”

Sefaria: Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 69b
“The Gemara refutes this proof: From where do you prove this? Perhaps both Ahithophel and his son Eliam fathered children when they were each nine years old, and Bathsheba gave birth to Solomon when she was six, because a woman is stronger and can conceive at an earlier age…

Sefaria: Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 69b
“Know that this is true that women conceive at an earlier age, as Bathsheba had already given birth to a child from David before giving birth to Solomon (see II Samuel 11:27). Therefore, no proof can be derived from here.

Sefaria: Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 69b
“The Sages taught in a baraita: If a woman was acting lewdly with her minor son and he performed the initial stage of intercourse with her, Beit Shammai say that he has thereby disqualified her from marrying into the priesthood. And Beit Hillel deem her fit to marry into the priest-hood, because they maintain that the intercourse of a minor is not regarded as intercourse.”

Sefaria: Rashi on Genesis 23:1
“…So, too, when Sarah was one hundred years old she was sinless — and when she was twenty she was as beautiful as when she was seven.”

Vayiqra (Leviticus) 19:23
23  ‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as uncircumcised. Three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you. It shall not be eaten.”

Vayiqra (Leviticus) 19:24-25

1  Now the children of Reuven and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock; and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that indeed the region was a place for livestock,

Bemidbar (Numbers) 32:3-4
3  “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4  “the country which Yahweh defeated before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.”

Bemidbar (Numbers) 32:5-6
5  Therefore they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not take us over the Jordan.
6  And Moshe said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuven: “Shall your brethren go to war while you sit here?”

Bemidbar (Numbers) 32:7-8
7  “Now why will you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them?
8  “Thus your fathers did when I sent them away from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.”

Bemidbar (Numbers) 32:16-17
16  Then they came near to him and said: “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones,
17  “but we ourselves will be armed, ready to go before the children of Israel until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones will dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.”

Bemidbar (Numbers) 32:18-19
18  “We will not return to our homes until every one of the children of Israel has received his inheritance.
19  “For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Yarden and beyond, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this eastern side of the Yarden.”

Bemidbar (Numbers) 32:20-21
20  Then Moshe said to them: “If you do this thing, if you arm yourselves before Yahweh for the war,
21  “and all your armed men cross over the Yarden before Yahweh until He has driven out His enemies from before Him…”

Bemidbar (Numbers) 32:22-23
22  “and the land is subdued before Yahweh, then afterward you may return and be blameless before Yahweh and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before Yahweh.

Shemote (Exodus) 20:4

Shemote (Exodus) 20:5-6
5  you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, Yahweh your Elohim, am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
6  but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 2:4-5
4  “Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob and all the families of the house of Israel.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 2:6
6  “Neither did they say, ‘Where is Yahweh, Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, Who led us through the wilderness, Through a land of deserts and pits, Through a land of drought and the shadow of death, Through a land that no one crossed And where no one dwelt?’”

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 2:7
7  “I brought you into a bountiful country, To eat its fruit and its goodness. But when you entered, you defiled My land And made My heritage an abomination.”

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 2:8

Wikipedia: Names of God: Adonai: “The Lords”
אֲדֹנָי ăḏōnāy, lit. transl. My Lords, pluralis majestatis taken as singular) is the possessive form of adon (‘Lord’)…. As with Elohim, Adonai’s grammatical form is usually explained as a plural of majesty. In the Hebrew Bible, the word is nearly always used to refer to God…

Wikipedia: Names of God: Adonai: “The Lords”
“…As pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided in the Hellenistic period, Jews may have begun to drop the Tetragrammaton when presented alongside Adonai and subsequently to expand it to cover for the Tetragrammaton in the forms of spoken prayer and written scripture.”

Wikipedia: Names of God: Adonai: “The Lords”
“Owing to the expansion of chumra (the idea of “building a fence around the Torah“), the word Adonai itself has come to be too holy to say for Orthodox Jews outside of prayer, leading to its replacement by HaShem (‘The Name’).”

Wikipedia: Names of God: Adonai: “The Lords”
“The singular forms adon and adoni (‘my lord’) are used in the Hebrew Bible as royaltitles,[34][35] as in the First Book of Samuel,[36] and for distinguished persons.”

Shemuel Aleph (1 Samuel) 29:8
8  So David said to Achish, “But what have I done? And to this day what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

Devarim (Deuteronomy) 10:17
17  “For Yahweh your Elohim is Elohei ha Elohim and Adonei ha Adonim, the great El, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.”

Wikipedia: Names of God: Adonai: “The Lords”
“The final syllable of Adonai uses the vowel kamatz, rather than patach which would be expected from the Hebrew for ‘my lord(s)’. Professor Yoel Elitzur explains this as a normal transformation when a Hebrew word becomes a name, giving as other examples Nathan, Yitzchak, and Yigal.[39]”

Wikipedia: Names of God: Adonai: “The Lords”
“As Adonai became the most common reverent substitute for the Tetragrammaton, it too became considered un-erasable due to its holiness. As such, most prayer books avoid spelling out the word Adonai, and instead write two yodhs יְיָ in its place.[40]”

Shemote (Exodus) 20:7
7  “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your Elohim in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

Wikipedia: Names of God: Adonai: “The Lords”
The Phoenicians used it as a title of Tammuz (the origin of the Greek Adonis).

Wikipedia: Adonis: “Lord”
The Greeks considered Adonis’s cult to be of Near Eastern origin. Adonis’s name comes from a Canaanite word meaning “lord“ and most modern scholars consider the story of Aphrodite and Adonis to be derived from a Levantine version of the earlier Mesopotamian myth of Inanna (Ishtar) and Dumuzid (Tammuz).

Wikipedia: Ēostre: Saint Bede, 8th Century
“Eosturmonath has a name which is now translated “Paschal month”, and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honouredname of the old observance.[23]

“Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. (Acts 7:43)…”

Wikipedia: Remphan (Chiun)
It is generally agreed by Biblical scholars to be the same as the Hebrew Kiyyun or Chiun… mentioned in Amos 5:26.[1][2] …[3] There is general agreement among bible scholars, however, that both remphan and chiun refer to the planet Saturn.[4]

Ephesim (Ephesians) 5:1-2
1  Therefore be imitators of Elohim as dear children.
2  And walk in love, as Mashiach also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to Elohim for a sweet-smelling aroma.

Comment #2 of the week:

Ephesim (Ephesians) 5:11-12
11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
12  For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

Ephesim (Ephesians) 5:14-16
14  Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Mashiach will give you light.”

Ephesim (Ephesians) 5:22-23
22  Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to Yahweh.
23  For the husband is head of the wife, as also Mashiach is head of the assembly; and He is the Savior of the body.

Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 37:16-17
16  “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the houseof Israel, his companions.’
17  “Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.”

Ephesim (Ephesians) 5:25-26
25  Husbands, love your wives, just as Mashiach also loved the assembly and gave Himself for her,
26  that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word…

Ephesim (Ephesians) 5:27-28
27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious assembly,not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be set-apart and without blemish.
28  So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

Ephesim (Ephesians) 5:32-33
32  This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Mashiach and the assembly.
33  Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Ephesim (Ephesians) 6:10-11
10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in Yahwehand in the power of His might.
11  Put on the whole armor of Elohim, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Ephesim (Ephesians) 6:12-13
12  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13  Therefore take up the whole armor of Elohim, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, tostand.

Ephesim (Ephesians) 6:14-16
14  Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15  and having shod your feet with the preparation of the good news of peace;
16  above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Ephesim (Ephesians) 6:17-18
17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of Elohim;
18  praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

Ephesim (Ephesians) 6:24
24  Favor be with all those who love our Adon Yeshua Mashiach in sincerity. Amein.

Yochanan (John) 14:15
15  “If you love Me, keep My commandments.

Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:24-25
24  “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
25  and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:26-27
26  “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:
27  “and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Shabbat shalom.
