Genesis 26:12; 2 Kings 19:29; John 4:36
The Fifth Commandment Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lordthy God giveth thee.
400. You shall observe the overtures for peace and war --Deuteronomy 20:11-12 11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. 12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
401. A man who issues a slander against a virgin of Israel shall be punished --Deuteronomy 22:18-1918 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; 19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
402. A man who issues a slander against a virgin of Israel shall not divorce her all his days --Deuteronomy 22:19
403. The bill of divorce shall be a written document --Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
404. You shall not remarry your divorced wife after she has remarried another man --Deuteronomy 24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which theLord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
405. A husband shall not be obligated from home for the first year --Deuteronomy 24:5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
406. The brother of a man who dies childless shall marry his brother's wife (Levirate Marriage) --Deuteronomy 25:5
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
407. The childless widow shall not marry anyone except her late husband's brother --Deuteronomy 25:5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
408. You shall release the childless widow if her late husband's brother refuses to marry her --Deuteronomy 25:9 Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.
Genesis 8:22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Seedtime and harvest will not cease, Fiveamprayer! The planting and reaping as commanded as a promise after the flood to Noah from Yahweh. He also speaks about never cursing the ground.
In the fall in the Garden, we have mankind was cursed through Adam to work hard to tend the ground for his substance before the flood. Afterward with Adams descendant, Noah and the cleansing of the entire Earth by way of the flood. Yahweh's first promise is that as long as the Earth remains seedtime and harvest will never cease.
Genesis 3:17-19
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Sowing as promised with the blessing of reaping. Every situation and facet of our lives are based on this principle. You go to work you expect to get paid. You don't get paid right away. Unless you have a contractual type of field where all you have to do is show up and you're paid on the spot. There is still a time and process for the seed sown to produced harvest, payday. Even so with planting and vegetation. You plant a seed, it germinates. You water and tend the plant protecting it against insects and rodents. Eventually, the vegetation produces a healthy harvest, but the process is by divine ordinances.
Mark 4:31-32
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
The promise remains true and there is no variance of Yahweh's words. Whether you operate in faith or not, be not deceived, Yahweh is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth so shall he reap. This is the ordinance from Yahweh. A promise from His word to our lives you will reap whatever you sow. Whether physical or spiritual we have to plant the seed and wait for the process to happen.
In this process, a death for a new life occurs. Just as the seed itself when planted germinates, transforms. It dies to its original self and form. While inside the seed itself has its instructions to provide something useful or destructive. Yet its transformation into whatever instructions is in its DNA code to become. For instance, a lemon seed does not look like a lemon. Nor does an apple seed look like an apple. Yet after being planted and the germination begins. Through time, the seed produces its fruit. So in the spiritual as in the natural, we must die to ourselves allowing the words of Yahweh to germinate in us by seeking, asking, and feeding. Allowing the Ruach HaKodesh as the tender of the harvest in us. To water, prune, and uproot the weeds in our lives. As we die to self we become more like the genetic code Yahweh placed in us. Becoming more and more in His image and likeness. Throughout time--there is no overnight success.
1 Corinthians 15:36-37
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain
This is the steps of the process that many of us have misunderstood. It is this ordinance set forth as after the flood and even the process of seed from the beginning in the garden. We must have patience in the process, this is not a quick overnight success scam. I have arrived all knowing, or some think--not knowing that patience produces Yahweh's fruit. Being impatient, the germination processes is defected and the end result of the example of the sower in Mathew 13 in its entirety.
Yeshua himself shows us the process of the harvest and sowing. With the example of His death. He died that many may be born again, but even in His death, 3 days had to pass. He didn't just closed His eyes and say "it is finished". Then open His eyes immediately and say all has been redeemed. I can go back to my Throne as Master and Creator of all things!!! No the process of sowing and reaping was perfected in His illustration as He intended.
John 12:24-25
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Mark 4:31-32
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
So we will experience the waiting process of seeds sown. As the promise, Yahweh gave to Noah along with its harvest if we faint not in well-doing. The promise of cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night will not cease. We just have to be patient in the process and reap the harvest just as He promised.
Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Whether you sow a seed of corruption or a seed unto life. You will as promised by Yahweh reap from what was planted. That is the divine ordinance of the law of reaping and sowing, seedtime and harvest. Shema, Selah--hear to listen to obey Yahweh's word and let us pause to consider what we have heard!
