Genesis 7:1   So YHVH says to Noah {Rest}, “You and all your [close] family, come into the ark. For I've seen that among your contemporaries, [only] you are [living] Righteously before me.
| Melchizedek Blesses Abram | Genesis 14:18  Melchizedek {King-Of-Righteousness} (king of Salem {Peace}) brings [Abram] bread and wine, [because] Melchizedek is the priest of [YHVH,] El-ELyon {The-Highest-Power}.
First occurrence of El ELyon in the bible. Salem may be Uru-Salim, the ancient city South of Palestine.Genesis 15:6  Abram {High-Father} [goes on to actively, fruitfully] believe in YHVH. So, 😇, [even though Abram makes mistakes,] YHVH credits [Abram's faith] to Abram as if [Abram were] Righteous.
See Ro 4, Gal 3.Genesis 17:19  Elohim replies, “Your wife Sarah {Monarch} indeed comes to bear you a son. You call his name Isaac {Laughter}. I establish my covenant with Isaac—an everlasting covenant—extending to [all] his [Righteous] seed-children after him.
Again, the recipients of this promise are the people who repent as did Isaac, not strictly Isaac's genetic lineage.Genesis 18:19  For I see [the future of my chosen man] Abraham {Father-Of-Billions}. He [continues to] command his children and his household to [follow] him. They keep the way of YHVH. [They] do Righteous [acts. They obey My] commands. So [I] YHVH bring upon Abraham all [the blessings I've ever] promised him.”
Abraham's literal genetic descendants may not follow YAH's commands. The Abrahamic promises flow to whoever lives out Abraham-like faith.Genesis 18:23  Abraham {Father-Of-Billions} draws near [to YHVH]. [Abraham] asks, “Are you going to destroy the Righteous [along] with the wicked?Genesis 18:24 What if 50 Righteous [people] live in the city? Won't you refrain from destroying the place to save those 50 Righteous inhabitants? Genesis 18:25  Far be it from You to wreak such an [atrocity], to slay the Righteous with the wicked. To treat saints like criminals—that's nothing like You! [I know] the Judge of all the earth [always] does [what's] right.” Genesis 18:26 YHVH answers, “If I find in Sodom 50 Righteous [people] within the city, then I'll spare the whole place [to save the 50].”Genesis 18:28  —Will you destroy the city if it contains five less than 50 Righteous [people]?” [YHVH] answers, “I'll avoid destroying the city if I find 45 [Righteous people] there.”Genesis 18:29 Abraham {Father-Of-Billions} speaks to YHVH yet again, asking, “If [you] find 40 Righteous [people] in Sodom—” YHVH responds, “I'll relent from destroying Sodom if [it contains] 40 [Righteous people].”Genesis 18:30 Abraham {Father-Of-Billions} says to YHVH, “Please, Adonai, don't flare [in anger] when I speak: If 30 Righteous [people can be] found in Sodom—”. YHVH replies, “I won't destroy Sodom if I find 30 [Righteous people] there.”Genesis 18:31 Abraham {Father-Of-Billions} replies, “Now that I've dared speak to my Adonai: If [you find] 20 Righteous [people] in Sodom—”… YHVH replies, “I'll avoid destroying Sodom [if it contains] 20 [Righteous people].Genesis 18:32 Then Abraham {Father-Of-Billions} says, “Please Adonai, don't torch [me]. I'll speak only one more time: If [you find] 10 Righteous [people] there—” YHVH replies, “I won't destroy [Sodom if it contains] 10 [Righteous people].”Genesis 20:4  But AbiMelech {Father-King} never came near Sarah {Monarch}. So he protests, “Adonai, will you slay a Righteous nation [like you destroyed the sinners of Sodom]?
Abimelech fears that YHVH will destroy his whole nation. | Jacob Sees Good, Then Evil, For Dan's Tribe | Genesis 49:16  [Unlike Issachar,] Dan goes on [to initially Righteously] judge his people. [He holds his people separate from the pagans, maintaining their identity] as one of the [holy] tribes of IsraEL, [the people who will rule with ELohim].
Fulfilled in Judges 15:20. “Judge not, and you shall not be judged.” | Pharaoh Fakes Relenting Again | Exodus 9:27  So, 😇, Pharaoh sends [his soldiers] to summon Moses and Aaron. [Pharaoh] says to them, “I've sinned this time: YHVH is the Righteous One. I and my people are the wicked ones.
Just like many ‘salvation prayers’, Pharaoh's prayer of repentance was ineffectual and half-hearted, and didn't save him one bit. What you DO is what counts. Born-again IS as born-again DOES. | Refrain From Hearsay & Damaging Falsehood | Exodus 23:1  [YAH continues], “😇, never spread a false rumor. Never join hands with anyone wicked. Never be an unRighteous witness.
Don't lie, but also, don't go around telling people that American men walked on the moon in the 1960's, or that dinosaurs roamed the earth 65 million years ago. You don't know those assertions to be true. You weren't there. You just saw some video!Exodus 23:2 😇, never [turn away from Righteousness to] follow the crowd into doing wrong. Never allow the popular view to drag you down into saying things that [could] pervert justice.
Never spread worldly propaganda. If you didn't witness an event firsthand with your OWN eyes and ears, you don't know what happened. For instance, you don't know that Arabs flew passenger planes into the world trade towers in New York in 2001.Exodus 23:7  Stay far way from any fraud, 😇. Never kill innocent or Righteous [people]. For I, [YHVH], never justify wicked [actions].
If you are a subject of any United-Nations member-state, your nation's puppet "government" kills righteous people every day. And you pay them to do it. | Hebrew Anti-Bribery Statute | Exodus 23:8 😇, never accept ‘gifts.’ Gifts blind [even] the [most clear-sighted] wise [people]. [Donations] twist Righteous matters [into train wrecks].
Instead, kindly suggest that the giver offer the gift to a charity of his choice.
If you have received any gifts, give a reciprocal gift to cancel any tacit debt you may have incurred.
This verse is intended specifically to remove corruption from government. But Christian ministries should also seek to eliminate their need for donations, allowing money to flow around themselves to good causes, instead of living off of donations. Any personal use of donated funds will tamper with your ministry's purity.Leviticus 19:15 Never commit unRighteousness when judging [any controversy, 😇]. Give neither [undue] respect to poor [people], nor honor to the pomp of the mighty. Rather, Righteously assess [the case of] your neighbor. | Never Use Debased Money (The Kind You Use) | Leviticus 19:35  Never allow any unRighteousness to creep into the way you, 😇, define sizes, weights and volumes [of worth].
This is a condemnation of fractional-reserve banking. Like calling a worthless piece of paper a "dollar" when a dollar is defined as a weight of gold. Modern global economics = direct violation of every biblical monetary law.Leviticus 22:29  When you, 😇, slaughter a thanksgiving-gift [for a feast honoring] YHVH, butcher it [of your own free will and in a humane, Righteous manner]. Then [YHVH] will accept [your donation].Numbers (Journeys) 23:10  Who can [bewitch Israel by] counting the dust [of the children] of Jacob? Who can number the ashes of [the descendants of] Israel? [YAH], let me die the death of [a] Righteous [man]! Let my final destination be like [Jacob's]!”
Dust is used in magic rites in Mesopotamia.Deuteronomy 1:16 At that time I commission your judges. I say, “Hear the cases [of conflict] between your relatives. Judge Righteously between every man and his [human] brother, including the foreigner(s) who live among [you]. | Guard The Law Like You Guard Your Life | Deuteronomy 4:8  And what nation is so great as to enjoy Laws and rulings so Righteous, [simple, and effective] as the whole law [of YHVH], which I set before you, 😇, today?
YHVH gave 613 lenient rules that bring you life, health, sanity and freedom. You can read and understand them all in one hour.
The evil "democratic" nation around you subjects you to more than 11 million 'laws', (for instance, the sprawling US Code and the U.S. CFR), most of them vague, arbitrary, changing and ultimately ineffective at everything except expanding corruption and subjecting you to spiraling, uncontrollable debt.Deuteronomy 6:25 All we have to do to be Righteous is to learn and perform these [613 delightful, sensible, lenient] commandments [under the oversight of] YHVH our Elohim. He's told us exactly what to do, 😇.”
Yet of all the humans who've ever lived, only Yahshua (Jesus) ever obeyed all 613 of YAH's Laws.
Modern slaves lie bound to over 11 MILLION ‘law’ codes of their neighborhood, city, region, state, federal government & the United Nations. The list grows every day. That's 17,945 times more regulation than the Sinai Code! | YAH Destroys Your Enemies Because They're Bad | Deuteronomy 9:4  After YHVH your Elohim casts the [pagans] out before your [amazed] faces, don't brag in your heart[s], 😇. Don't boast, “It's to reward my Righteousness that YHVH escorted me in to possess this land.” [Wrong!] The [satanic] nations are perverted. That's why YHVH drives them out before your faces.
Deuteronomy 9:5  It's not for your Righteous [acts], nor for the uprightness of your heart, that you go to possess the [pagans'] land, 😇. It's [to end] the wicked [sister-raping, child-molesting, baby-sacrificing, bestiality, demonic sorcery, murder, torture & oppression which] these nations [constantly perpetrate]. [That's why] YHVH your Elohim drives the [criminals] out from before you, as He fulfills the promise [s he] swore to your fore-fathers: Abraham {Father-Of-Billions}, Isaac {Laughter} and Jacob {Heel-Grabber}. Deuteronomy 9:6  So understand that YHVH your Elohim is not giving you ownership of this good land because you're Righteous, 😇. [On the contrary], you [Judeo-Christians are] a stiff-necked [bunch of] rebels.Deuteronomy 16:19 Never distort justice, 😇. Never respect any person's [wealth, appearance, fame, power, etc.] Never take a gift [in relation to any controversy]. A gift blinds the eyes of wise [judges]. [Bribes] pervert the words of Righteous [people]. Deuteronomy 24:13  Even if [the debtor stiffs you on the loan], return his collateral, 😇, as [sure as] the setting sun. Then when he lies down in his clothes, [because he's too poor to afford sheets,] he'll bless you. Then the face of YHVH your Elohim will [smile on your unusual generosity. YAH will call you] Righteous.
This echoes the Messiah's command to never ask a debtor to pay you back. It's designed to encourage generosity and inhibit moneylending. The usual silly mistranslations limit this verse to short-term 1-day loans guaranteed by cloaks. | Verdicts For Crimes Punishable By Whipping | Deuteronomy 25:1 [Moses continues,] “When there's a controversy between men, and they come to [the court] for judges to try [the case and render] a verdict, the judges must vindicate the Righteous [party], and condemn the wicked.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal Elohim is your refuge, 😇. [His] everlasting arms lie underneath [you. He carries you through the struggles of life. YAH] drives out your haters in front of your [delighted] face[s]. He shouts, “Die, [enemies of the Righteous]!”Joshua 11:20  YHVH allows the [pagans’] hearts to harden, 😇. So they attack Israel in battle. So [YAH gains final justification] to utterly banish them as deserving no grace. [Israel Righteously] overthrows them, as YHVH [earlier] commanded Moses [to evict the pagans using praise-power]. Judges 14:7  So [SunRay] continues down [to the forbidden village] to talk with the [forbidden alien] woman. [SunRay's infatuated] eyes see [the slut] as pleasant and Righteous, [not as the deceptive Jew-hating devil she really is]. 1st Samuel 2:6  YHVH kills. And [YHVH] makes alive. He brings [evil beings] down to the grave. He resurrects [the Righteous].1st Samuel 8:3 But SamuEl's sons fail to walk in Samuel's [Righteous] ways [of life and leadership]. They stoop to extortion. They chase [filthy] riches. They take bribes. They pervert justice, 😇.
Just like religionists, judges, lawyers and politicians today.1st Samuel 12:7 So now hold still, so I can confront you [with evidence] before YHVH, [whom you're betraying. I'll summarize] all the Righteous acts which YHVH performed for you and for your ancestors:1st Samuel 24:17  Then [Saul cries] to David, “You are more Righteous than I. You rewarded me [with] good, while I [abused] you [with] evil. 1st Samuel 26:23  —It's YHVH's [job to] pay back every man [according to] how Righteous and loyal he [lives]. YHVH put your life in my hands today. But I would [never] lift my hand to fight YHVH's anointed [leader]. 1st Samuel 29:6  So [king] Achish calls David. [Achish] says to him, “Surely, as YHVH lives, you've been Righteous from start to finish. I see everything you've done in my army is good. From the day you came to me to this day, I haven't discovered [a speck of] evil in you. But [my War]-Lords don't want you [in their battle]. 2nd Samuel 8:17  Zadok {Righteous} the son of Ahitub {Good-Brother}, and Ahimelech {Brother-King} the son of Abiathar {Generous-Father}, serve as [Jerusalem's chief] priests. SeraYah {YAH-Wins} serves as [David's] secretary.2nd Samuel 15:24 Zadok {Righteous} (and his [fellow] Levite [priests]) carry the ark of the covenant of [YHVH] the Eloah. Eventually the [priests grow so tired they have to] set down the Eloah's ark. Abiathar {Generous-Father} smokes [up roasted sacred food. He passes it out to] all the escapees from [Jerusalem]. 2nd Samuel 15:25  Then king [David] says to [high] priest Zadok {Righteous}, “Carry the ark of Elohim [back] into [Jerusalem] city. If I find favor in the eyes of YHVH, he'll bring me back. [He'll] show me [the ark restored to] its [proper] dwelling-place. 2nd Samuel 15:29  So Zadok {Righteous} and Abiathar {Generous-Father} carry the ark of [YHVH] the Eloah back to Jerusalem. There they wait, [dreading Abshalom's invasion]. 2nd Samuel 15:35  —There [in Jerusalem] you [can conspire with my loyalist] priests: Zadok {Righteous} and Abiathar {Generous-Father}. Then whatever you hear from the royal palace, you can [whisper] it to Zadok and Abiathar. [You'll pretend you're confessing your sins to them, since they're] priests. | Hasty Sends Spy-Priests To Warn King David | 2nd Samuel 17:15 Then Hushai {Hasty} [runs to Jerusalem's temple,] to [tip-off David's loyalist] priests: Zadok {Righteous} and Abiathar {Generous-Father}. [Hasty] whispers, “Ahithophel {Slime-Brother} [smartly] counseled [prince] AbShalom and the elders of Israel [to assassinate David]. But I advised [Absalom to mount a suicidal civil war].
As the ‘Civil War’ destroyed freedom in America, while helping no one. | The Young Priest Runs To Tell King David | 2nd Samuel 18:19  Then Ahimaaz {Firm-Brother} the son of Zadok {Righteous}, begs [the General], “Now let me run to inform king [David] that YHVH has judged [and executed] his enemies.”
2nd Samuel 18:22  Ahimaaz {Firm-Brother} (the son of Zadok {Righteous}) [begs] Joab {JAH-Dad} yet again, “But, but—please let me run too, behind Cushi.” So Joab asks, “Why run, son? [David might kill you] for bringing [the bad] news [that I assassinated his son].” 2nd Samuel 19:11 Meanwhile, king David sends [messengers back] to Jerusalem's [chief] priests: Zadok {Righteous} and Abiathar {Generous-Father}. The [envoys relay David's] instructions: “Speak to the elders of Judea. Tell them [I said], ‘Out here [in the Double-Fruit hills,] news reaches me that people all over [north] Israel are suggesting bringing me back [west] to my palace. Shouldn't you [southerners lead the country in returning me to Jerusalem's throne]? 2nd Samuel 20:25 Sheva {Tempest} serves as [David's] court scribe [lawyer]. Zadok {Righteous} and Abiathar {Generous-Father} serve as [head] priests.2nd Samuel 22:21 YHVH rewards my [occasional] Righteous [actions]. [I] clean my hands. He repays me. 2nd Samuel 22:25 So YHVH repays me for my [relative] Righteousness, for every clean deed his eyes see [me perform]. 1st Kings 1:8 But [high] priest Zadok {Righteous}, and YAHoyada's son BenaYAH {YAH-Built}, and Nathan {Gift} the prophet, and Shimei {Famous}, and Rei {Friend}, and the [other] mighty men loyal to [king] David, refuse to rebel with AdoniYah.1st Kings 1:26  —But [AdoniJah disinvited] me (your servant) and [high] priest Zadok {Righteous}, and YAHoyada's son [general] BenaYAH {YAH-Built}, and your obedient [prince] Solomon {Peace-Man}. 1st Kings 1:32 Then king David [croaks to his guards,] “Summon [high] priest Zadok {Righteous}, and Nathan {Gift} the prophet, and YAHoyada's son BenaYAH {YAH-Built}.” So these [3 men] come [to David's bed-chamber]. They face the king.1st Kings 1:34 —There let [high] priest Zadok {Righteous} and Nathan {Gift} the prophet anoint [Solomon] king over Israel. Then blow the [royal] trumpet [s]. Then shout, ‘Elohim save king Solomon!’ 1st Kings 1:38 So [high] priest Zadok {Righteous}, and Nathan {Gift} the prophet, and Yahoyada's son [general] BenaYAH {YAH-Built}, and [David's] Cherethite {Executioners} and Pelethite {Couriers}, set Solomon {Peace-Man} riding on king David's mule. They escort him down [the hill] to [be crowned at] Gihon {Stream}.
Today Palestinians and Israelis fight over land-disputes at Gihon.1st Kings 1:39 There [high] priest Zadok {Righteous} emerges from the [coronation] tent. He [holds] a horn [filled] with [olive] oil. He pours the [oil] over Solomon {Peace-Man}. The [leaders] blow the [royal] trumpet. Then all the people [shout], “Elohim save king Solomon!” 1st Kings 1:44 —King [David] sent [Solomon] with [high] priest Zadok {Righteous}, and Nathan {Gift} the prophet, and YAHoyada's son [general] BenaYAH {YAH-Built}, and the [royal] Cherethite {Executioners} and Pelethite {Couriers}. They set [Solomon] riding on king [David's] mule! 1st Kings 1:45 —Then, at Gihon {Stream}, [high] priest Zadok {Righteous} and Nathan {Gift} the prophet anointed [Solomon] king. They've come up from there rejoicing [so loud] the city's roaring. That's the noise you're hearing. 1st Kings 2:32  —YHVH now dumps [Joab's] blood-guilt upon [Joab's] own head. [Joab assassinated] two men more Righteous and better than himself. He murdered them with [his] sword, against my father David's will. [Joab stabbed north] Israel's General, Ner's son Abner {Father-Of-Light}. Then [Joab stabbed] Judea's General: Jethro's son Amasa {Load}. 1st Kings 2:35  Then king [Solomon] promotes YAHoyada's son BenaYAH {YAH-Built} to [Joab's] position as [General] over [united Israel's] army. And the king installs Zadok {Righteous} in the office of high-priest to replace [exiled] Abiathar {Generous-Father}. 1st Kings 3:6 [King] Solomon {Peace-Man} answers, “You showed great mercy to your servant David my father. You repaid [the times when] he walked before you in truth, and in Righteousness, [baring his] honest heart to you. And you preserved for [David] this great kindness: you gave him a son to sit on his throne, where [I sit] today. 1st Kings 4:2 Solomon's royal officials include: AzariYah {YAH-Helps} the son of [high] priest Zadok {Righteous};1st Kings 4:4 YAHoyada's son BenaYAH {YAH-Built} [serves as General] over [Solomon's] army. Zadok {Righteous} and Abiathar {Generous-Father} serve as [High] priests.1st Kings 8:32 — [Please] hear [the victim's case] in heaven. Then act. Judge your servants. Condemn the wicked [man]. Boomerang his [actions] on his head. Justify the Righteous [party]. Give the [victim] what his Righteousness [deserves]. 1st Kings 9:4 So when you walk in my presence, as your father David {Love} walked, with integrity of heart, in Righteousness, doing everything I've commanded you, guarding my statutes and my judgments, [I give you authority].2nd Kings 14:3 [AmaziYah] does what's right in the sight of YHVH, yet not [wholeheartedly] like his fore-father David {Love}. [AmaziYah] replicates the [relatively Righteous] actions of his Dad ( [good boy-king] JAHoash {JAH-Fired}). 2nd Kings 17:9  The sons of Israel secretly perpetrate countless un Righteous crimes. They fight YHVH their Elohim. They build themselves high [occult shrines] in all their cities, from [their remote] watchmen's towers [all the way] to their fortified citadels. | King Hezekiah's Brat Manasseh Reigns Wickedly | 2nd Kings 21:1 12 year old [Prince] Manasseh {Sweet-Forgetting}, the brat [whom king HezekiYah bred with Queen] Hephzi-Vah {She's-My-Delight}, takes reign. [Cascading on his Righteous father's success, Manasseh] reigns for 55 years in Jerusalem.
2nd Kings 22:2 [JosiYah] does what's right in the sight of YHVH. He walks in all the [Righteous] ways of his ancestor David {Love}. He never turns aside to the right hand nor to the left [from YAH's Law].
Authority doesn’t mean dictating your whims. Nor is it enforcing the will of the majority. Authority is guiding society to do what YAH ordered Moses.1st Chronicles 6:8  Then Ahitub {Good-Brother} fathers Zadok {Righteous}. Zadok fathers Ahimaaz {Firm-Brother}.1st Chronicles 6:12 Ahitub {Good-Brother} fathers Zadok {Righteous}, who fathers Shallum {Payback}.1st Chronicles 6:53 [Ahitub fathers] Zadok {Righteous}, who [fathers] Ahimaaz {Firm-Brother}.1st Chronicles 9:11  —and AzariYah {YAH-Helps} the son of HilkiYah {YAH's-Inheritance}, the son of Meshullam {Allied}, the son of Zadok {Righteous}, the son of Meraioth {Rebel}, the son of Ahitub {Good-Brother}, the overseer of Elohim's sanctuary;1st Chronicles 12:28 And Zadok {Righteous}, a young man mighty of valor, brings 22 chiefs from his father's [extended] family.1st Chronicles 15:11 [King] David also summons Zadok {Righteous} and Abiathar {Generous-Father} the priests, and the [following] Levites: UriEl {El's-Flame}, AsaiYah {YAH-Made}, Joel {YAH-is-El}, ShemaiYah {YAH-Hears}, EliEl {El-Is-Power}, and Amminadab {Generous-People}.1st Chronicles 16:39  [David continues to let high] Priest Zadok {Righteous} (and [Zadok's] priest-brothers) [work] in the [sacred] tent of YHVH at the high-shrine in Gibeon {Flower-Hills}.1st Chronicles 18:16 Zadok {Righteous} (the son of Ahitub {Good-Brother}), and AbiMelech {Father-King} (the son of Abiathar {Generous-Father}) serve as [Jerusalem's chief] priests. Shavsha {Joyful} [serves as David's] secretary.1st Chronicles 24:3 So [king] David appoints the [descendants of Aaron] in their respective work duties [under] Zadok {Righteous} (a descendant of ELeazar {El's-Aid}), and Ahimelech {Brother-King} (a descendant of Ithamar {Palm-Coast}).1st Chronicles 24:6 [The 2 heads of the clans descended from ancient] ELeazar {El's-Aid} and Ithamar {Palm-Coast} [take turns casting lots]. Before king [David, Judea's] leaders ([high] priest Zadok {Righteous} & Abiathar's son Ahimelech {Brother-King}, and the head-fathers of [all Jerusalem's] priests and Levites,) a Levite scribe (NethanEl's son ShemaiYah {YAH-Hears}) records the [names of the Sanctuary managers whom the lot chooses].1st Chronicles 24:31 The [above-named men] cast lots, mirroring [the random lottery held by] their relatives [also descended] from Aaron. Looking on [stand] king David, and Zadok {Righteous}, and Ahimelech {Brother-King}, and the chief fathers of the priests and Levites. [Random lot assures that] the senior fathers [get no statistical advantage] vs. their younger relatives.
Random lotteries are good ways to initially assign work tasks.1st Chronicles 27:17 HashabiYah {YAH-Thinks} (the son of Kemuel {Raised-By-El}) [leads the Levites]. Zadok {Righteous} [leads the (other) sons of] Aaron.1st Chronicles 29:22 So that day [all the Israelites] eat and drink before YHVH with overwhelming glee, 😇. For the 2nd time, they [crown] David's son Solomon king. [Before] YHVH, they [publicly] confirm [Solomon] as [the nation's] governor-in-chief. And they recognize Zadok {Righteous} as [high] priest. 2nd Chronicles 6:23 — [Please] hear from heaven. [Take] action! Judge your servants. Repay the wicked [man]. Boomerang his way upon his own head. Justify the Righteous [party]. Give [each human] what his Righteousness deserves. 2nd Chronicles 6:35 From the heavens, hear [your peoples'] prayer [s] and pleas. Uphold their [Righteous] cause. 2nd Chronicles 9:8 — [I] kneel to YHVH your Elohim, who delighted in you so [much that] he set you on his throne. YHVH your ELohim made you king because he loves Israel. Your Elohim made you king over them to establish them for ever, to effect justice and Righteousness [through you].”
Flattery gets you everywhere. | Rehoboam's Kingdom Grows Strong, Despite Lust | 2nd Chronicles 11:17  So for 3 years, [Hebrew priests] reinforce the Judean kingdom. They strengthen Solomon's brat-king Rehoboam {Nation-Builder}. For 3 years the [Judaeans] walk in the [relatively Righteous] way[s] of David {Love} and Solomon {Peace}.
2nd Chronicles 21:12 So the prophet EliJah {JAH-Is-El} sends [king JAHoram] a letter. It says, “YHVH ( [the] Elohim of your ancestor [king] David) says, “You've [always failed to] walk in the [good] ways of your father JAHoshaphat {JAH's-Judgment}, and in the [Righteous] paths of [your grandfather,] Judea's king Asa.2nd Chronicles 31:10  Chief Priest AzariYah {YAH-Helps} (from the family of Zadok {Righteous}) answers [king HezekiYah], “Since [our] people started bringing these donations into the temple of YHVH, we [priests] have eaten our fill, with plenty left over, because YHVH keeps blessing his people. This great store [of wealth] is just the spillover!” 2nd Chronicles 34:6 [Judea's king JosiYah crosses his country's border in his quest for Righteousness, 😇!] He continues [smashing all idolatry] in the [rebel northern-Israeli enemy] cities of [the tribes of] Manasseh {Sweet-Forgetting}, Ephraim {Double-Fruit} and Simeon {Listener}, all the way [north] to [the territory of] Naphtali {Wrestler}, and its surrounding ruins.
Like if Canada's Prime Minister knocked down all the steeples from all of Canada's churches. Then he tore down every obelisk and every statue of a Greek or Roman or Hindu or Buddhist 'god' in Canada. Then he came south and did the same thing in the U.S.! Including blowing up the Washington Monument!Ezra 7:2 —the son of Shallum {Payback}, the son of Zadok {Righteous}, the son of Ahitub {Good-Brother}—Ezra 9:15 —O YHVH Elohim of Israel, you are Righteous. To this day [you've allowed us to] live escaped [from our Persian oppressors. Please] look [on us with compassion]. We're [on our faces] before your [judgment throne. We admit] our treachery. We can't stand before you. [We've done too much evil.]”
Ezra is confessing sins he didn't even commit. That's leadership.NehemiYAH 3:4 Next [down the wall], Meremoth {Heights} the son of UriYah {Flame-Of-Yah}, the son of Koz {Thorn} repairs [his family's section]. Next [down the wall], Meshullam {Allied} the son of BerechiYah {Blessing-Of-Yah}, the son of MeshezabeEl {Rescued-By-El} [leads his family's repair crew]. And next to them Zadok {Righteous} (the son of Baana {Humbler}) [fixes his section].NehemiYAH 3:29 Next [down the wall], Zadok {Righteous} (the son of Immer {Yapper}) repairs [the wall-section] opposite his house. Next [down the wall], ShemaiYah {YAH-Hears} (the son of ShechaniYah {YAH-Lives}, the keeper of the east gate,) repairs [his wall-section].NehemiYAH 9:8 —You looked [over the earth]. You found [Abraham's] heart faithful to you. So [you] made a covenant with him. [You promised] to give [him] the land of the Canaanite {Mercenaries}, the Hittite {Sons-Of-Terror}, the Amorite {Mountaineers}, the Perizzite {Plainsmen}, the Jebusite {Threshers}, and the Girgashites {Wanderers}. (That is, [you promised] to give the [land] to [Abraham's] seed-children). You've performed your promise, [not because we're Righteous, but] because you're Righteous. NehemiYAH 10:21 MeshezabeEl {Rescued-By-El}, Zadok {Righteous}, Jaddua {Knowing},NehemiYAH 11:11 SeraYah {YAH-Wins} [serves as] overseer of ELohim's sanctuary. ([SeraYah is] the son of HilkiYah {YAH's-Inheritance}, the son of Meshullam {Allied}, the son of Zadok {Righteous}, the son of Meraioth {Rebel}, the son of Ahitub {Good-Brother}).NehemiYAH 13:13 To manage [Jerusalem's temple] treasuries, I appoint treasurers: priest ShelemiYah {Thank-You-Gift-To-YAH}, and Zadok {Righteous} ([a] scribe), and PedaYah {Ransomed-By-YAH} (a Levite). And to assist these [treasurers], [I appoint] men proven faithful: Hanan {Favor} the son of Zaccur {Memory}, the son of MattanYah {Gift-Of-Yah}. These [leaders] take up their duty to distribute [food, clothes and money] to their relatives [who work the temple]. | Rich Job Has Everything A Man Could Want | Job 1:1 In the [ancient] land of Uz [south of Edom, west of Arabia], a man named Job {Affliction} comes to exist. [Job lives] inoffensively and Righteously. He fears Elohim. He shuns evil.
Job probably lived during the time when (Jacob's son) Joseph ruled Egypt. Job was likely a son of Issachar.
Job's name (#347) means “hated, persecuted enemy.”
[Job is] the greatest poem, whether of ancient or modern literature. —Tennyson
I call [Job] one of the grandest [works] ever written with pen. —Carlyle
[Job is] more magnificent and sublime than any other book of Scripture. —LutherJob 4:6 Isn't your reverence, your confidence, your hope, in your self-Righteous ways?Job 4:7 Please refresh [my memory]. What innocent being ever wandered [astray]? What Righteous person got cut off [from YAH's blessings]?Job 4:17  [The spirit whispers,] ‘Can [a] mortal man be more Righteous than Elohim? Can a strongman prove purer than his Maker?’
Or "can men be seen as righteous/pure by their creator?"Job 8:3 Does El pervert justice? Does Shadddai {Almighty} twist [people in torture] for being Righteous?Job 8:6 If you were pure and upright, surely [YAH] would immediately awake to [help] you. He'd make your Righteous home prosperous, [instead of the wreck it is].
Simplistic thinking.Job 8:19 Watch. [Punishing fakers] is the joyful termination of [YAH's] road. Out of the earth other [more Righteous people] grow [in the charlatan's place]. Job 9:15  Even if I were Righteous, I still wouldn't [dare to] answer [YAH]. I would only beg my judge [for mercy]. Job 10:15  When I'm wicked, woe [comes] to me. But [even] when I'm Righteous, I still don't [dare] lift up my head. I'm stuffed with shame, drowned in my misery! Job 15:14 What [claim] does [any] man have to be clean? What [human] born of a woman [can prove] he's Righteous? Job 16:8  You've shriveled me [head to toe], as a warning [that disaster can strike a Righteous man]. Yet [these hypocrites] see emaciation eating my face as proof of my guilt.” Job 18:18 [Demons] drive the [sinner] from light into darkness. [Righteous men] chase him out of the [world]. Job 21:28 You ask [me], ‘Where is [your] house now, prince [of Righteousness? A tornado blew over the] tents of [your] wicked [kids]!’
PETERSON: “Naively you claim that [all] tyrants' castles fall to pieces, that evildoers' achievements [always] collapse.”Job 22:3 Do you, [Mr. Self] Righteous, give jollies to the Almighty? Does your self-invented ‘perfect way-of-life’ gain [anything] for [God]?Job 22:19 [We] Righteous people brighten up at the sight of [criminals getting punished]. [We] innocent people laugh [you miscreants] to scorn.
NOT a good attitude.Job 22:20 [YAH] never cuts off our [Righteously-obtained] wealth. Our [net worth] keeps rising! Meanwhile, fire devours the rest [of you cheaters]. Job 23:7 There [in heaven] Righteous [beings] can reason with [their Creator]. So [I know] that my Judge will permanently rescue me. Job 27:7  But [I pray that] my enemies [soon die the death] of wicked [criminals]. That's what should happen to [people] who rise up against Righteous [beings].
Not Job's shining moment.Job 29:14 I wrap myself in Righteousness. [Good] clothes me. Justice flows [around] me [like] my robe and head-dress. Job 31:4  Does [YAH] fail to see my [Righteous] way [of life]? Doesn't he count all my steps? | Job's 3 Friends Stop Trying To Convict Him | Job 32:1 Finally the 3 [elders] stop arguing with Job. They [see] that he [stubbornly] views himself as Righteous, [that he's blind to his own flaws].
Job 33:23 But then, if [you're lucky,] along comes [me, god's] messenger, [heaven's] interpreter, one [prodigy] among a thousand [fools], to remind [sinful] man of [YAH's] Righteousness. Job 33:26 [The invalid] begs [YHVH the] Eloah [for forgiveness]. So [YAH grants] favor [to] the [sinner]. [YAH] shouts-for-joy when he sees the [evildoer's repentant] face. [YAH] restores that mortal's Righteousness. Job 33:27 [The penitent sicko] looks in the [faces of his fellow] mortals. He confesses, ‘I sinned. I perverted Righteousness. [I've learned that crime] doesn't pay. Job 34:5 Job keeps claiming, ‘I'm Righteous! El robs me of Justice! Job 34:17 Can a hater of justice govern [our people]? [No true leader can] condemn [YHVH], our bountiful [provider], the Righteous One. Job 34:27 [World leaders] recoil from [YAH]. They don't even contemplate his [Righteous] ways. Job 35:2 [Elihu yells,] “ [Job,] how can you fantasize that [you're] innocent? You brag, ‘My Righteousness is greater than God's!’
Job didn't say that.Job 35:7 If you perform Righteous [deeds, don't imagine] you're giving [YAH] a gift. He receives [nothing] from your hand. Job 35:8  Your wickedness only hurts people, you included. And your Righteousness profits only [the] spawn of Adam. Job 36:7 [YAH] never takes his [caring] eyes off of Righteous [people]. [YAH watches over] kings on their throne[s]. Thus, age [after age, YAH] establishes and exalts [ethical leaders. Job's suffering proves that he's a fraud.]
ELihu is again off-base. Most world leaders are criminals.Psalms 1:2  [A Righteous man's] delight is in the law of YHVH. He studies [and ponders YAH's] law day and night, 😇. Psalms 1:5  So, 😇, on the [day of] judgment, wicked [beings] end [up unable to] stand. Sinners [will not remain] in the society of Righteous [people].
Don't let your church be a bastion of worldliness. All disobedience to scripture should be considered a serious offense.Psalms 1:6 For YHVH guards the path of Righteous [beings], 😇. But the way of [all] wicked [beings] ends in death.Psalms 4:3 Remember, 😇, that YHVH sets [all] Righteous [beings] apart for himself. YHVH [always] hears [me] when I call to him. [So He'll hear you too.]Psalms 4:5 [Donate and] Righteously butcher animals [for Hebrew feasts], 😇. Run for refuge in YHVH.Psalms 5:12 For you, YHVH, always bless Righteous [beings]. You [always] surround [Righteous people] with favor like a shield. Psalms 7:8 YHVH, judge [of all] people, vindicate me! YHVH, [remember my moments of] Righteousness [and] integrity. Psalms 7:9 Oh, Righteous Elohim who judges hearts and minds, finally end the evil of [all] wicked [beings]. Establish [all] just [beings].Psalms 7:11 Elohim judges Righteously. El {Power} foams [at the mouth in rage against] evil every day, 😇. Psalms 7:17 I throw [my hands in the air, 😇, to thank] YHVH for his Righteousness. [It reaches to the sky.] I thwack [guitar strings] to [honor] the Name of YHVH most high.
Yadah = "throw hands", not merely "give thanks". Zamar = strike [strings while singing], not merely "sing praise".Psalms 9:8 In Righteousness, [YAH] examines the world, 😇. In integrity, He dispenses justice to [all] people [s]. Psalms 11:3 [The] foundations [of world society] lie destroyed, 😇. Righteous [people can't fix this broken world].
No remodeler should try to repair a structure with a collapsed foundation.Psalms 11:5 YHVH tests [all] Righteous [people]. [YAH's] soul hates [all] evil, 😇. [YAH especially rejects beings who] love violence. Psalms 11:7 YHVH, [the personification of] Law, loves Righteousness, 😇. His face watches [over all] upright [beings]. | David's Low-Pitched Song Of Desperation | Psalms 12:1  Help, YHVH! [Every] Righteous man lies dead! The faithful disappear from among the children of Adam.
A psalm king David wrote to be arranged and presented by the leader [of Jerusalem's tent-sanctuary 24/7/365 music program]. Intended to be played on sh’minit [low-pitched musical instruments].Psalms 14:5 [But soon] the [wicked will shake,] overwhelmed with terror, 😇. For Elohim [stands] present in the company of Righteous [people]. Psalms 15:2 Only [beings who] walk uprightly, who do Righteous deeds, who speak the truth from the heart, [can live with YAH].
Belief = action. | David Cries For Refuge From Deadly Forces | Psalms 17:1  Hear [my] Righteous [cause], YHVH. Prick up your ears at my cry. Give [your] ear to my prayer from my [relatively] honest lips.
Psalms 17:15  I [reject riches. What] I want [is to] see your Righteous face. All it'll take to satisfy me is to wake [from this earthly nightmare] to see a vision of you.
The Messiah's behavior is a perfect image of the Father's loving spirit.Psalms 18:20 YHVH rewards me for my [sporadic] Righteousness, 😇. He repays [me for] every [time I keep] my hands clean. Psalms 18:24 So YHVH repays my [efforts at] Righteousness, 😇. His eyes reward me [every time I keep] my 'hands' clean [in the face of temptation]. Psalms 19:9 The fear of YHVH [shines] clean, 😇. [It] endures for ever. YHVH's judgments [stand] absolutely true and Righteous.
So why don't Christianites read and obey the Older Testament? Because they've been brainwashed not to. And because their bible translations are so bad as to often do more harm than good.Psalms 22:31 To a people yet to be born, [YAH's seed-child] will come and declare His Righteousness. [The Messiah will recount] all [YAH's mighty] acts.
Or: ‘Evangelists will continue to recount Biblical miracles to subsequent generations.’Psalms 23:3  YAH brings back my life-breath. YAH leads me in the paths of Righteousness, to [honor] His Name-Authority.Psalms 31:18  Lock-shut the lying lips of [our enemies]. They hiss arrogant, contemptuous accusations against Righteous [people]. | Real Praise Is A Full-Contact Body Sport | Psalms 33:1 Shout for joy, 😇. [Swim] in YHVH's [Spirit], you straight [laced people]. It's beautiful when Righteous people [lose their pride. Dance around in] wild [public praise-parties]!
“Thillah” is wild, embarrassing praise. If you're not getting bruises and nearly passing out from exhaustion and dizzyness, you're not praising hard enough. Proper praise is so athletically dangerous that it would invalidate most church liability insurance contracts.Psalms 33:5 [YAH] loves Righteousness and justice, 😇. The earth brims full of YHVH's kindness. Psalms 34:15 The eyes of YHVH [shine] on [all] Righteous [beings]. [YAH's] ears stay [always] open to [saints'] cries. Psalms 34:17 [When] Righteous [beings] cry, YHVH hears, 😇. He delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalms 34:19 [A] Righteous being [suffers] many tribulations, 😇. But YHVH [eventually] delivers [all saints] from all [their problems]. Psalms 34:20 [YAH] guards [the Righteous man's] every bone, 😇. [In the end,] not one of them [will lie] broken.
Despite taking one of the worst beatings in history, all the Messiah's bones stayed intact.Psalms 36:6 YHVH, your Righteousness towers above the mightiest mountains. Your justice runs deeper [than the deepest oceans]. Your [breath keeps all] humans and animals [alive]. Psalms 36:10 Keep [pouring out] your unfailing-love to we [believers] who know you. Keep [flowing] your Righteousness into [we saints who are trying to] be right-hearted.Psalms 37:6 [YAH] draws Righteousness out of you like light, 😇. [He makes] justice [shine through your life] like the noonday [sun]. Psalms 37:16  The little [wealth] of the Righteous man beats the opulent [riches] of all the [world's] wicked hordes, 😇. Psalms 37:17 YHVH breaks the arms of every [unrepentant] lawbreaker. But [YAH] supports the arms of [every] Righteous [believer]. Psalms 37:19 When the [final] disaster arrives, [you, 😇, rise above] the [world's] shame. [You Righteous-ones] get fully [satisfied] in the days of [ultimate] famine. Psalms 37:21  Deadbeats borrow; then they [refuse] to pay back, 😇. Meanwhile, a Righteous [human] bends [backwards] to give. Psalms 37:31 Elohim's law [of love lives] in the [Righteous being's] heart, 😇. His footsteps [tread sure], never sliding [into sin].
His heart pumps Elohim's Word like blood through his veins.Psalms 40:9  I herald Righteousness in [million-man] assemblies. [You] see how I never hold back my lips [from shouting cheers about you]. You know [better than anyone how I love you,] YHVH.
David constantly breaks royal decorum to dance in wild praise shouting parties.Psalms 40:10 I never hide your Righteousness in my [private] heart. I always announce your faithfulness and your salvation. I never hush-up your loving-kindness and your [brutal] truth, not even [before] the [national] congress!
Evangelism often consists in heralding YAH's word where people hate it. Go where men with guns want to kill you. Trumpet truths that embarrass tyrants and thugs. Bring the sword of [YAH's] Word into corporations, courthouses, police departments, legislative assemblies, holiday celebrations, and of course churches and synagogues. Then you'll know David's suffering.Psalms 44:18 Our hearts never revolted [from you]. We never turned our [feet] from walking your path [of Righteousness]. Psalms 45:4 In your majesty, ride [out in] victory on [the wings of your] truth and humility and Righteousness. Let your right-hand rain down the fear of [Elohim across the earth]. Psalms 45:7 You, [king,] love Righteousness. You hate wickedness. That's why [YHVH, the ultimate] Eloah, your Elohim, [lifted] you above all your peers by anointing you with the oil of elation.”
Authority comes from obedience to the Creator.
In his creative riff on this verse (Hebrew 1:8-9), Paul uses the definite article 'THE' ELoah, to refer to YHVH.Psalms 50:6 The heavens forever declare [YAH's] Righteousness, 😇: for Elohim Himself is judge [of the universe]. Selah [Pause/Interlude.]Psalms 51:10 Elohim, [please] create a clean heart inside me. Make a new Righteous [loyal, faithful] spirit within my [body].
See song: "Create In Me A Clean Heart".Psalms 51:14 Elohim, snatch me [up]! [I'm drowning] in bloodguilt. Elohim, be my savior. [Then] my tongue will shout-sing so loud [that the whole world will hear] about your Righteousness. Psalms 51:19 After [we repent,] you'll be pleased with [our] Righteous donations — with [the] rising [aroma of meat roasting for community love-feasts]. [In place of pagan sacrifices, we'll serve] perfectly [wholesome] ascension-gifts. [To feed needy people, your priests] will smoke-roast, [not ‘sacrifice’] young bulls on your [cooking] altar.
"Whole burnt offerings" would not bring joy to any righteous Creator. Translators who think so ought to have their heads examined.
This song is to be performed with great dancing [Mahaloth].Psalms 58:3 In the womb, [you] miscreants stray [from Righteousness]! You swerve off [the path] as soon as your mother squeezes you out into the light. You're born speaking lies. Psalms 58:11 Get every human singing, “ Righteous people really do get to [eat] the fruit [of their good deeds]. There really is an Elohim judging on earth!” Psalms 64:10 YHVH brightens up [us] Righteous [people] who run-for-refuge in him, 😇. Everyone who is upright in heart [eventually basks in YAH's] splendor. | YAH Forms & Runs The Universe Via Miracles | Psalms 65:5 You answer us [believers] with awesome Righteous [miracles]. You are the ELohim who frees us. You are the refuge for [all beings] to the ends of the earth across the faraway oceans.
| Praise Loud, Mobile, In Public, Jumping, Joy | Psalms 68:3 Righteous-ones, brighten-up! Jump for joy, [your heads to the sky, your] faces up toward Elohim. Cheer with glee, 😇!
Pews hinder you from obeying this verse. Most churches would kick you out the door for obeying it.Psalms 71:24 My tongue keeps talking about your Righteousness all day long. I [rave] about how you shame and confuse the [jerks] who seek my hurt. Psalms 72:7 All the days of the Righteous [king], peace buds [and flourishes. Ultimately, the Messiah's goodness] outlasts the moon. Psalms 79:3  The [villains] shed [Righteous] blood like water surrounding the City-Of-Peace. The [invaders] leave no one [alive] to bury [us]. Psalms 97:2 Clouds and darkness surround [YAH]. Righteousness and justice form the foundation of his throne.Psalms 97:12 Shine in YHVH's [Spirit], you Righteous [people]! 😇, throw your hands in the air to commemorate [YAH's] sacredness. Psalms 99:4 Mighty King [YHVH], lover of [good] government, you establish equity. You [continually] execute Righteous justice [among] Jacob's [descendants]. Psalms 101:3 I'll never set any wicked thing before my eyes, 😇. I hate the actions of people who turn astray [from Righteousness]. [I] won't [let their stink] cling to me.
That means get rid of your TV, and stay off the internet as much as possible. Obviously, pornography is totally out of the question for any believer.Psalms 106:3 [YAH] blesses everyone who guards justice and [who] continually performs [acts of] Righteousness, 😇.Psalms 106:31 [YAH] counts the zeal of [Phinehas] as [a symbol of] Righteousness [worthy of remembrance] for all generations throughout time.
The zeal, not the killing, is what's righteous.Psalms 110:7  [The Messiah] drinks from the brook of [living water] on the Way [of Righteousness]. So [YAH] lifts [the Messiah's] head [above all powers]. Psalms 112:9 [A good man] continually disperses [riches] to poor [people]. [Our] Righteous [acts] stand forever, 😇. [YAH eventually] lifts up [our] horns-of-power, [giving us influence] and honor. Psalms 112:10  Wicked [beings] watch [YAH exalt Righteous people]. Law-breakers grieve [at our success], 😇. They gnash their teeth [in jealousy]. [Finally] they melt away. The greed of sinners [always] perishes [in the end]. | YAH Always Blesses Everyone Who Fears Him | Psalms 115:12  YHVH constantly thinks of us [hebrews, 😇]. He'll always bless the [spiritual] family of Israel. He [bends down to help] the [Righteous] family of [ancient high-priest] Aaron.
Psalms 119:106 I'm 100% [dedicated] to rise [to the challenge of] guarding your Righteous rulings. Psalms 119:137  [The pigs trash] you, [YAH,] the [pinnacle] of Righteousness, along with your [perfectly] fair judgments. Psalms 125:3 Righteous [beings] never set their hands to [commit] unfair [acts], 😇. So the rod [that beats] lawbreakers won't [long] rule over Righteous [beings nor over] their inheritance [s].
Are you concerned about inheritance taxes? Put your money into serving needy people and spreading the gospel.Psalms 132:9 Clothe your priests with Righteousness. [Inspire] your kind-ones to screech [shouts of joy]. Psalms 140:12  😇, I know that YHVH [always] maintains the cause of beaten-down [people]. [YAH upholds] the right [s] of [Righteous] poor [people].

Let my head never reject [counsel nor] prayer [to get me through life's] calamities. Psalms 142:7 Bring my soul out of prison. [Give] me [a reason to] throw my hands [in the air to praise] your name. [Send] Righteous [partners to] completely surround me. Help!” | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
