Deuteronomy 32:1-32:52 (46 minutes)

Talk includes points not mentioned in the text.



Ha-Azinu
 Ha-
Azinu is translated as Give ear in the first verse, i.e. listen.
Deuteronomy 32:1-32:52
 
s.1
[Deuteronomy 32:1] GIVE EAR, O YE HEAVENS, AND I WILL SPEAK: AND HEAR, O EARTH, THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:2] MY DOCTRINE SHALL DROP AS THE RAIN, MY SPEECH SHALL DISTIL AS THE DEW, AS THE SMALL RAIN UPON THE TENDER HERB, AND AS THE SHOWERS UPON THE GRASS:
 
[Deuteronomy 32:3] BECAUSE I WILL PUBLISH THE NAME OF THE LORD: ASCRIBE YE GREATNESS UNTO OUR GOD.
God must be worshipped.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:4] HE IS THE ROCK, HIS WORK IS PERFECT: FOR ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUDGMENT: A GOD OF TRUTH AND WITHOUT INIQUITY, JUST AND RIGHT IS HE.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:5] THEY HAVE CORRUPTED THEMSELVES, THEIR SPOT IS NOT THE SPOT OF HIS CHILDREN: THEY ARE A PERVERSE AND CROOKED GENERATION.
THEIR SPOT. Hebrew "Moomam" i.e. their imperfection, disqualifying impairment, BLEMISH.
The English word "maim" meaning "mutilate, cripple" has its origin given as Middle English maynhe, Old French mahaignier. These are possibilities but like most alleged etymologies no more than that. The word "MAIM" would in Biblical Hebrew be how one would say "Impart a Moom". It is the Verbal Form of the Hebrew Moom. There are many English words like that. One could reconstruct spoken Hebrew from Biblical Times with the assistance of such examples from Old English!
No-one is likely however to undertake such a work since the only people who could appreciate it would be those with knowledge of both Biblical Hebrew and English and with some initial curiosity regarding the possibility of an ancient link between English and Hebrew.

The verse above should preferably be rendered:
THEY DESTROY THEMSELVES, NOT HE, HIS CHILDREN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN BLEMISH. THEY ARE A STUBBORNLY
DECEIVOUS AND TWISTED GENERATION.
God is just. Mankind is the cause of misfortune. In most cases we cannot plead innocence.

 
[Deuteronomy 32:6] DO YE THUS REQUITE THE LORD, O FOOLISH PEOPLE AND UNWISE? IS NOT HE THY FATHER THAT HATH BOUGHT THEE? HATH HE NOT MADE THEE, AND ESTABLISHED THEE?
 
[Deuteronomy 32:7] REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD, CONSIDER THE YEARS OF MANY GENERATIONS: ASK THY FATHER, AND HE WILL SHEW THEE: THY ELDERS, AND THEY WILL TELL THEE.
We have to consider the lessons of history and take them to heart. God Himself exhorts us HERE to take the history of our forefathers to heart: REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD.
 
s.2
[Deuteronomy 32:8] WHEN THE MOST HIGH DIVIDED TO THE NATIONS THEIR INHERITANCE, WHEN HE SEPARATED THE SONS OF ADAM, HE SET THE BOUNDS OF THE PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
Yehudah Kiel in the Commentary Daat Mikra on Chronicles ("Sefer Divrei-Hayamim") points out that there were seventy divisions of the sons of Noah (Genesis 10) from whom derive all present human beings. After that there were seventy divisions of the sons of Abraham including the registered offspring of Keturah, Ishmael, Esau, and the Twelve sons of Israel. This was followed by the seventy sons and grandsons of Israel who went down to Egypt (Genesis 46) and after that inherited the Land (Numbers ch.26).
We thus have three outreaching circles:
Seventy Entities from Noah.
Seventy Entities from Abraham.
Seventy Entities from Israel.

 
The seventy families of Israel founded tribal clans. They are later recalled in the Bible and in archaeological findings in Israel as separate entities.
In our book,

The Tribes - The Israelite Origins of Western People
http://britam.org/the-Tribes.html

We have shown how these Tribal clans became historical bodies and in some cases nations or sub-sections of nations in their own right. We have traced with great detail the migrations and historical permutations of these Clans. There were seventy of them. Each one in some way may be considered to parallel a non-Israelite Nation!
The Israelite peoples (according to our understanding of Scripture, others appear to disagree) are destined to rule over the nations of the earth. Each group of non-Israelite nations is apportioned to a different Israelite tribe.

Historically nations that we have identified as containing within them a significant proportion of Israelites have ruled over other peoples. They were the major colonial powers and at one stage divided a good portion of the earth between them. Great Britain ruled over a quarter of it! France and Holland also had large empires. France ruled over much of West and Northern Africa and also Indo-China (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), and other places. The Netherlands ruled Indonesia, and at one stage Ceylon, and Dutch Guana in South America, and other regions. The USA ruled the Philipines, Panama, and indirectly controlled a great many "banana" republics. Belgium ruled the Congo. It may be that the areas ruled by these at least partly-Israelite entities reflect something of their inner being, some aspect of their national character?
 
Hints as to which Israelite tribes are somehow connected to which non-Israelite ones may be obtained from the names.
Gog for instance is the name of the leader of a vast non-Israelite people (Ezekiel 38:2) as well as being a name found in the Israelite Tribe of Reuben (1-Chronicles 5:4) :
 
Tarshish was a clan of Benjamin (1-Chronicles 7:10) as well as being the name of  a nation descended from Javan (Genesis 10:4) and thus related to the ancient Greeks.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:9] FOR THE LORD'S PORTION IS HIS PEOPLE: JACOB IS THE LOT OF HIS INHERITANCE.
The Israelites are the people of God. The expression am segulah (Deuteronomy 7:6 14:2 26:18) usually translated as chosen people could also be translated as executive people.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:10] HE FOUND HIM IN A DESERT LAND, AND IN THE WASTE HOWLING WILDERNESS: HE LED HIM ABOUT, HE INSTRUCTED HIM, HE KEPT HIM AS THE APPLE OF HIS EYE.
We have been exceedingly ungrateful. God chose us above all others. This means that we have the potential to be especially blessed but also an innate obligation to reach higher than others.
In an army one has privates, NCOs, officers, and generals. Each one has their own task and responsibility. The higher one goes the more privileges (rank, status, remuneration, etc) are given and a higher standard of behavior is expected.

 
[Deuteronomy 32:11] AS AN EAGLE STIRRETH UP HER NEST, FLUTTERETH OVER HER YOUNG, SPREADETH ABROAD HER WINGS, TAKETH THEM, BEARETH THEM ON HER WINGS:
The eagle is the symbol of the USA.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:12] SO THE LORD ALONE DID LEAD HIM, AND THERE WAS NO STRANGE GOD WITH HIM.
God alone lead us and helped us yet we refused to acknowledge HIM.
 
s.3
[Deuteronomy 32:13] HE MADE HIM RIDE ON THE HIGH PLACES OF THE EARTH, THAT HE MIGHT EAT THE INCREASE OF THE FIELDS: AND HE MADE HIM TO SUCK HONEY OUT OF THE ROCK, AND OIL OUT OF THE FLINTY ROCK:
The best places on earth have been bequeathed to the seed of Israel.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:14] BUTTER OF KINE, AND MILK OF SHEEP, WITH FAT OF LAMBS, AND RAMS OF THE BREED OF BASHAN, AND GOATS, WITH THE FAT OF KIDNEYS OF WHEAT: AND THOU DIDST DRINK THE PURE BLOOD OF THE GRAPE.

KINE meaning "cows". The English word Kine is from the Hebrew "Mikneh" meaning cattle. It is derived from the root KoNeH meaning possession.

RAMS OF THE BREED OF BASHAN:  There is a breed of sheep known as merino that originally came from Spain and then was developed in Australia. This made Australia a rich country. The Australians say they grew up as a nation on the sheeps back due to the rich woolen fleece produced by the merino. I suspect the merino developed originally in the Land of Israel. The Mishna (ca 100 CE) refers to sheep as Children of Meron.
  The Arabian horse and the best European breeds of horses as well as the sheep and horses of the ancient Scythians also came from Israel. The same may apply to breeds of cattle. A lot could be done on this topic. Indirectly it could provide yet another clue indicative of Israelite ancestry and the pathways of ancient migration.

 
[Deuteronomy 32:15] BUT JESHURUN WAXED FAT, AND KICKED: THOU ART WAXEN FAT, THOU ART GROWN THICK, THOU ART COVERED WITH FATNESS: THEN HE FORSOOK GOD WHICH MADE HIM, AND LIGHTLY ESTEEMED THE ROCK OF HIS SALVATION.
 JESHURUN is an ancient name for Israel. A Phoenician inscription has been found mentioning The Sea and Yeshurun, Land of  Tyre. The Phoenicians and Israelites were closely connected. Part of the so-called Phoenicians at some stage were actually Israelite Tribes.
See my work Lost Israelite Identity when it gets reprinted.
See also the books of Steven Collins and Walt
Baucum who bring many valuable insights into this issue.
http://www.britam.org/baucumcover.html

[Deuteronomy 32:16] THEY PROVOKED HIM TO JEALOUSY WITH STRANGE GODS, WITH ABOMINATIONS PROVOKED THEY HIM TO ANGER.
God is a jealous God. We should be careful not to worship other gods nor pay them respect even inadvertently.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:17] THEY SACRIFICED UNTO DEVILS, NOT TO GOD: TO GODS WHOM THEY KNEW NOT, TO NEW GODS THAT CAME NEWLY UP, WHOM YOUR FATHERS FEARED NOT.
 
 [Deuteronomy 32:18] OF THE ROCK THAT BEGAT THEE THOU ART UNMINDFUL, AND HAST FORGOTTEN GOD THAT FORMED THEE.
The God of Israel created us and looked after us and watched over us. Everything we have achieved was thanks to His Providence.
 
s.4
[Deuteronomy 32:19] AND WHEN THE LORD SAW IT, HE ABHORRED THEM, BECAUSE OF THE PROVOKING OF HIS SONS, AND OF HIS DAUGHTERS.
THE PROVOKING, in Hebrew veyiNA-aTZ: from the root NATs meaning treat with contempt, blaspheme. In Hebrew the word could be understood to say:
they [by their sins] caused the Nazis to come.
The Palestinian Arabs of Arafat and company are just as bad in their aims as the Nazis were. Maybe worse. Ideological and personal links existed between the Nazi ideologists (and their German forebears) and the
Moslim Brotherhood that gave raise to both the PLO and Hamas.
There is a difference however between the Nazis and the Arabs. The Arabs may be even worse!
The Nazis at least at first tried to make a pretence that they did not really want to exterminate all the Jews outright. There were Jews who believed that they had a chance of surviving under the Jews right up to the time they entered into the gas chambers that were disguised as shower systems. The Arabs are not so. As soon as they get a chance, even smell a remote possibility, they will attempt to exterminate all of us. Many of them already say as much openly.
The Arabs feel the same way about the USA and Britain probably because these entities are on the one hand considered weak while on the other representative of life-styles opposed to Islam.
In the Second World War the Arabs were pro-Nazi and admired Hitler and still do.
I am not acting as a psychologist of these people but they hate the USA, Britain, and Israel separately. The fact that conceptually they can be linked together in the Islamic mind compounds the hatred.
So be hated
BUT
As Oliver Cromwell said: Praise the LORD and pass the ammunition.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:20] AND HE SAID, I WILL HIDE MY FACE FROM THEM, I WILL SEE WHAT THEIR END SHALL BE: FOR THEY ARE A VERY FROWARD GENERATION, CHILDREN IN WHOM  IS NO FAITH.
When a person sins it is as if he displays lack of faith. If we had true faith we would not usually allow ourselves to sin. When a person does repentance and rectifies his actions he restores his acknowledgment of God's presence.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:21] THEY HAVE MOVED ME TO JEALOUSY WITH THAT WHICH IS NOT GOD: THEY HAVE PROVOKED ME TO ANGER WITH THEIR VANITIES:AND I WILL MOVE THEM TO JEALOUSY WITH THOSE WHICH ARE NOT A PEOPLE: I WILL PROVOKE THEM TO ANGER WITH A FOOLISH NATION.
 
MOVE THEM TO JEALOUSY in Hebrew  Akniyam also translatable as arouse to anger.
THOSE WHICH ARE NOT A PEOPLE e.g. tent-dwelling sons of bandits who despise us because we are not like them.
 
 [Deuteronomy 32:22] FOR A FIRE IS KINDLED IN MINE ANGER, AND SHALL BURN UNTO THE LOWEST HELL, AND SHALL CONSUME THE EARTH WITH HER INCREASE, AND SET ON FIRE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS.
A FIRE IS KINDLED IN MINE ANGER the Arabs are trying to burn up all the forests in Israel. If they had their way they would cause this area to return to the desert condition it was in when they controlled the area. In that case, after a time a few of them could live here and almost nobody else. Burn the forests, bring in the goats, raise the temperature, kill, rob, and rape each other, no more generous child allowances from the Jewish Israeli government, less children that survive childhood, etc. It would not take long for the population to decrease.
When Israel ruled the west bank with a relatively stronger hand most of the Arab population supported Israel and would have voted to belong to Israel. Now when (partly due to overseas pressure and the financial backing of retrograde elements) Israeli is weak and has lessened its control the Arabs smell death and cannot hold themselves back.

 
[Deuteronomy 32:23]  I WILL HEAP MISCHIEFS UPON THEM: I WILL SPEND MINE ARROWS UPON THEM.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:24] THEY SHALL BE BURNT WITH HUNGER, AND DEVOURED WITH BURNING HEAT, AND WITH BITTER DESTRUCTION: I WILL ALSO SEND THE TEETH OF BEASTS UPON THEM, WITH THE POISON OF SERPENTS OF THE DUST.
THE TEETH OF BEASTS UPON THEM: biological warfare?
THE POISON: chemicals?
 
[Deuteronomy 32:25] THE SWORD WITHOUT, AND TERROR WITHIN, SHALL DESTROY BOTH THE YOUNG MAN AND THE VIRGIN, THE  SUCKLING ALSO WITH THE MAN OF GRAY HAIRS.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:26] I SAID, I WOULD SCATTER THEM INTO CORNERS, I WOULD MAKE THE REMEMBRANCE OF THEM TO CEASE FROM AMONG MEN:
I WOULD SCATTER THEM INTO CORNERS this occurred to the Jews of Judah whereas the Lost Ten Tribes were exiled to a few specific areas.
 I WOULD MAKE THE REMEMBRANCE OF THEM TO CEASE FROM AMONG MEN. This may refer to the Lost Ten Tribes who in practical terms have been forgotten. As far as the general public and academia are concerned it is almost as if the Ten Tribes never existed.  Physically however they are present and will come to have their ancestral identity made know to them.


[Deuteronomy 32:27] WERE IT NOT THAT I FEARED THE WRATH OF THE ENEMY, LEST THEIR ADVERSARIES SHOULD BEHAVE THEMSELVES STRANGELY, AND LEST THEY SHOULD SAY, OUR HAND IS HIGH, AND THE LORD HATH NOT  DONE ALL THIS.
God will not let our adversaries ever have total victory over us lest they imagine their own gods to stronger than the God of Israel who is the only God.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:28] FOR THEY ARE A NATION VOID OF COUNSEL, NEITHER IS THERE ANY UNDERSTANDING IN THEM.
This refers to Israel or the enemies of Israel or both of them.
 
s.5
[Deuteronomy 32:29] O THAT THEY WERE WISE, THAT THEY UNDERSTOOD THIS, THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER THEIR LATTER END!
 
[Deuteronomy 32:30] HOW SHOULD ONE CHASE A THOUSAND, AND TWO PUT TEN THOUSAND TO FLIGHT, EXCEPT THEIR ROCK HAD SOLD THEM, AND THE LORD HAD SHUT THEM UP?
 
[Deuteronomy 32:31] FOR THEIR ROCK IS NOT AS OUR ROCK, EVEN OUR ENEMIES THEMSELVES BEING JUDGES.
OUR ENEMIES THEMSELVES BEING JUDGES: At one time Israel had support from all over. Now the West  are condemning us for having been attacked and not laying down to die quickly enough.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:32] FOR THEIR VINE IS OF THE VINE OF SODOM, AND OF THE FIELDS OF GOMORRAH: THEIR GRAPES ARE GRAPES OF GALL, THEIR CLUSTERSARE BITTER:
 
[Deuteronomy 32:33] THEIR WINE IS THE POISON OF DRAGONS, AND THE CRUEL VENOM OF ASPS.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:34] IS NOT THIS LAID UP IN STORE WITH ME, AND SEALED UP AMONG MY TREASURES?
 
[Deuteronomy 32:35] TO ME BELONGETH VENGEANCE AND RECOMPENCE: THEIR FOOT SHALL SLIDE IN DUE TIME: FOR THE DAY OF THEIR CALAMITY IS AT HAND, AND THE THINGS THAT SHALL COME UPON THEM MAKE HASTE.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:36] FOR THE LORD SHALL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE, AND REPENT HIMSELF FOR HIS SERVANTS, WHEN HE SEETH THAT THEIR POWER IS GONE, AND THERE IS NONE SHUT UP, OR LEFT.
God will judge us if we have sinned.
God will judge us but HE will also severely punish they who have oppressed us.

 
[Deuteronomy 32:37] AND HE SHALL SAY, WHERE ARE THEIR GODS, THEIR ROCK IN WHOM THEY TRUSTED,
The State of Israel trusted in the USA and in world opinion. Israel under pressure gave guns (or acquiesced in the acquisition of guns) to Palestinian low life murderers and criminals. Jews are now being shot and humiliated with these guns. Jews are getting blamed for being victims and/or not letting themselves be killed quickly enough.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:38] WHICH DID EAT THE FAT OF THEIR SACRIFICES, AND DRANK THE WINE OF THEIR DRINK OFFERINGS? LET THEM RISE UP AND HELP YOU, AND BE YOUR PROTECTION.
The CIA trained the Palestinian military forces. Why? The CIA gave money to Israeli left-wing forces to pressure Israel to retreat before the Arab Nazis. Why?
Now
EU nations subisidise Jewish would-be Quislings and anti-Zionists NGOs. Partly Israelite nations in the EU (such as Britain, Norway, Finland) are major culprits in subsidising traitors to the Jewish Peoples and in giving money to Arab terrorists, perverts, and murderers.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:39] SEE NOW THAT I, EVEN I, AM HE, AND THERE IS NO GOD WITH ME: I KILL, AND I MAKE ALIVE: I WOUND, AND I HEAL: NEITHER IS THERE ANY THAT CAN DELIVER OUT OF MY HAND.
I KILL, AND I MAKE ALIVE does this hint at resurrection?
 
s.6
[Deuteronomy 32:40] FOR I LIFT UP MY HAND TO HEAVEN, AND SAY, I LIVE FOR EVER.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:41] IF I WHET MY GLITTERING SWORD, AND MINE HAND TAKE HOLD ON JUDGMENT: I WILL RENDER VENGEANCE TO MINE ENEMIES, AND WILL REWARD THEM THAT HATE ME.
I WILL RENDER VENGEANCE TO MINE ENEMIES: The enemies of the Jews are the enemies of God and HE will take vengeance.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:42] I WILL MAKE MINE ARROWS DRUNK WITH BLOOD, AND MY SWORD SHALL DEVOUR FLESH: AND THAT WITH THE BLOOD OF THE SLAIN AND OF THE CAPTIVES, FROM THE BEGINNING OF REVENGES UPON THE ENEMY.
THE BEGINNING OF REVENGES UPON THE ENEMY This could happen very soon.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:43] REJOICE, O YE NATIONS, WITH HIS PEOPLE: FOR HE WILL AVENGE THE BLOOD OF HIS SERVANTS, AND WILL RENDER VENGEANCE TO HIS ADVERSARIES, AND WILL BE MERCIFUL UNTO HIS LAND, AND TO HIS PEOPLE.
WILL BE MERCIFUL UNTO HIS LAND, AND TO HIS PEOPLE: The Jewish people in the State of Israel will God willing assert themselves and confound their enemies and enemies allies.
 
FOR HE WILL AVENGE THE BLOOD OF HIS SERVANTS:  All those who oppress and persecute the Jews will be punished. The USA has become the greatest and most prosperous nation on earth, against all logic and prognostications. Despite everything America is probably the greatest nation ever known. The USA was also (and to a degree still is) the only real backer of Israel. Who knows if the USAs blessings were not due at least partly to the USA support for the State of Israel and also due to the help the USA extended to oppressed Jews in Russia, Ethiopia, etc. The USA did fulfill the role of Joseph, assisted his brothers, fed and succored the world, introduced reforms to foreign cultures.
 
Despite its sins and shortcomings the USA did fulfill the will of the Almighty on a national and international level. In this case the USA also fulfilled the role of servant of God. The enemies of the USA will be punished.
 
s.7
[Deuteronomy 32:44] AND MOSES CAME AND SPAKE ALL THE WORDS OF THIS SONG IN THE EARS OF THE PEOPLE, HE, AND HOSHEA THE SON OF NUN.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:45] AND MOSES MADE AN END OF SPEAKING ALL THESE WORDS TO ALL ISRAEL:
 
[Deuteronomy 32:46] AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, SET YOUR HEARTS UNTO ALL THE WORDS WHICH I TESTIFY AMONG YOU THIS DAY, WHICH YE SHALL COMMAND YOUR CHILDREN TO OBSERVE TO DO, ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LAW.
You have to teach your children to believe in God and the Bible.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:47] FOR IT IS NOT A VAIN THING FOR YOU: BECAUSE IT IS YOUR LIFE: AND THROUGH THIS THING YE SHALL PROLONG YOUR DAYS IN THE LAND, WHITHER YE GO OVER JORDAN TO POSSESS IT.
A VAIN THING. Hebrew "davar raik" i.e. something that is empty. The Bible is not empty. It is the word of the Almighty.
The Hebrew "
raik" means empty, hollow, worthless. Later one had the word "Raikah" from the same root and this word meant an immoral, profligate person, empty of self-respect.
In English we have
thew word "rake" meaning a profligate person. This word is explained as being short for rakehell i.e. someone who rakes (pulls) in evil unto himself. Nevertheless as in many such cases the English word corresponds nicely with the Hebrew usage.
There are psychological parallels between English and Hebrew.

 
FOR IT IS NOT A VAIN THING FOR YOU: BECAUSE IT IS YOUR LIFE: The Bible can solve all your problems and lead you in the right path, redeem you. Through reading and studying the Bible you know you are not alone. Gods Providence is with you and sometimes you see this with your own eyes.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:48] AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES THAT SELFSAME DAY, SAYING,
 
[Deuteronomy 32:49] GET THEE UP INTO THIS MOUNTAIN ABARIM, UNTO MOUNT NEBO, WHICH IS IN THE LAND OF MOAB, THAT IS OVER AGAINST JERICHO: AND BEHOLD THE LAND OF CANAAN, WHICH I GIVE UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOR A POSSESSION:
THE LAND OF CANAAN: All the ancient Land of Canaan from the Nile to the Euphrates River is the chosen land that belongs to Israel. The Jewish people as keepers of the Law are caretakers for all Israel concerning the land. Inheriting the land is linked with keeping the Law.  At present the Law is only kept by the Jews of Judah. It is true that most Israelis are not religious but many are and they are the only ones who are.

[Deuteronomy 32:50] AND DIE IN THE MOUNT WHITHER THOU GOEST UP, AND BE GATHERED UNTO THY PEOPLE: AS AARON THY BROTHER DIED IN MOUNT HOR, AND WAS GATHERED UNTO HIS PEOPLE:
 
[Deuteronomy 32:51] BECAUSE YE TRESPASSED AGAINST ME AMONG THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AT THE WATERS OF MERIBAH KADESH, IN THE WILDERNESS OF ZIN: BECAUSE YE SANCTIFIED ME NOT IN THE MIDST OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
Sometimes a person is put under a test the results of which can change his entire life. We must do the best we can, pray to God, and hope that we successfully pass any tests that befall us.
 
[Deuteronomy 32:52] YET THOU SHALT SEE THE LAND BEFORE THEE: BUT THOU SHALT NOT GO THITHER UNTO THE LAND WHICH I GIVE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
Moses could no come into the Land of Israel even though he was the greatest prophet who ever lived. There was a reason for this. There are spiritual reasons for physical facts. Some things can be fought and overcome and some things must be accepted. Sometimes the acceptance should be permanent and sometimes only for a time. It happens that bad luck can pass and a blessing come instead of a curse. We are commanded to always keep going, never give up, and do the best we can.
 
The Haftorah
Hosea 14
http://britam.org/hosea14.html
Israel must return to the Almighty and be reconciled with HIM. There is no other choice. The Return of the Lost Ten Tribes is symbolized by the Brit-Am Rose, official symbol of Brit-Am.


[Hosea 14:1] O ISRAEL, RETURN UNTO THE LORD THY GOD; FOR THOU HAST FALLEN BY THINE INIQUITY.
Yehudah Kiel ("Daat Mikra") points out that Hosea concludes his message with a summarization of Exhortations found in the Bible. Israel is not of this world. Israel is separate from other nations. Israel has been blessed exceedingly and may be punished proportionately so. Israel should take this to heart. The Almighty does not want to hurt us. Let us return to God and once again HE will guide us and be with us and bless us. 

[Hosea 14:2] TAKE WITH YOU WORDS, AND TURN TO THE LORD: SAY UNTO HIM, TAKE AWAY ALL INIQUITY, AND RECEIVE US GRACIOUSLY: SO WILL WE RENDER THE CALVES OF OUR LIPS.
Our forefathers worshipped God by offering sacrifices such as fattened calves. Once the Temple was built sacrifices were forbidden to Israelites outside of the Temple site. Today we have no Temple and cannot make sacrifices. The whole purpose of the sacrifice however was to arouse us to repentance and to draw us close to the Almighty. The word for sacrifice in Hebrew is "korban" from the root KRB which connotes "to bring closer".
The Prophet tells us that instead of a physical sacrifice we may make a physical and emotional effort to pray to God with our lips and offer ourselves to HIM. This will be considered as if we had offered up fat calves.

 
[Hosea 14:3] ASSHUR SHALL NOT SAVE US; WE WILL NOT RIDE UPON HORSES: NEITHER WILL WE SAY ANY MORE TO THE WORK OF OUR HANDS, YE ARE OUR GODS: FOR IN THEE THE FATHERLESS FINDETH MERCY. 
 "Asshur [i.e. Assyria = Germany or United Europe] shall not save us"
 
 [Hosea 14:4] I WILL HEAL THEIR BACKSLIDING, I WILL LOVE THEM FREELY: FOR MINE ANGER IS TURNED AWAY FROM HIM.                     
 
[Hosea 14:5] I WILL BE AS THE DEW UNTO ISRAEL: HE SHALL GROW AS THE LILY, AND CAST FORTH HIS ROOTS AS LEBANON.
"lily" is "shoshana" actually meaning the rose which (as a rosette) was a symbol of royalty in ancient Israel [and in other nations: there was an article some time ago in Biblical Archaeological Review on this].
The Tudor Rose of England is described in the opening pages of the
Zohar as the mark of Israel.
Our organization "Brit-Am, the Ten Tribes Movement"  identifies peoples from Western Europe as the Lost Ten Tribes and works for their reconciliation with Judah has adopted an adaptation of the Tudor Rose as its official symbol.


[Hosea 14:6] HIS BRANCHES SHALL SPREAD, AND HIS BEAUTY SHALL BE AS THE OLIVE TREE, AND HIS SMELL AS LEBANON.  
"Lebanon" was actually mainly part of the territory of ancient Israel. The isle of Britain was known as Alba or Albion though later the term Alba was confined to Scotland. These names are forms of the word for Lebanon.                  
 
[Hosea 14:7] THEY THAT DWELL UNDER HIS SHADOW SHALL RETURN; THEY SHALL REVIVE AS THE CORN, AND GROW AS THE VINE: THE SCENT THEREOF SHALL BE AS THE WINE OF LEBANON.                     
 
[Hosea 14:8] EPHRAIM SHALL SAY, WHAT HAVE I TO DO ANY MORE WITH IDOLS? I HAVE HEARD HIM, AND OBSERVED HIM: I AM LIKE A GREEN FIR TREE. FROM ME IS THY FRUIT FOUND.  
We see here a hint of Ephraim being linked with Lebanon. Zechariah 10:10 prophesies that in the Last Days Ephraim shall return and settle in Lebanon and Gilead meaning Syria.                 
 
[Hosea 14:9] WHO IS WISE, AND HE SHALL UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS? PRUDENT, AND HE SHALL KNOW THEM? FOR THE WAYS OF THE LORD ARE RIGHT, AND THE JUST SHALL WALK IN THEM: BUT THE TRANSGRESSORS  SHALL FALL THEREIN.
