The Parashah Ki Tishah covers a broad spectrum of topics,
beginning with mandates for the census of the people by means
of an offering, followed by guidelines for the creation of the
Fountain of Bronze, anointing oil and aromatic incense. The
appointment of Bezalel and Aholiab to build the Mishkan, the
observance of Shabbat and the tragic episode of the golden calf

The Bronze Fountain (Exodus 30:17-21)

You shall also make a basin of
bronze, with its stand of bronze, for
washing. You shall put it between the
tent of meeting and the altar, and you
shall put water in it.
Exodus 30:18
In these verses, Adonai instructs Moses to make a basin of bronze, with its
base also of bronze, for the Mishkan. This basin was intended for the
washing of the hands and feet of Aaron and his sons, the priests, before
entering the Holy Place or approaching the altar to minister and burn an
offering to Adonai. This act of purification symbolized the need for physical
and spiritual cleansing before the sacred service, emphasizing the holiness
required to be in the presence of God.

With it you shall anoint the tent of

meeting and the ark of the testimony,
and the table and all its utensils, and
the lampstand and its utensils, and the
altar of incense, and the altar of burnt
offering with all its utensils and the
basin and its stand.
Exodus 30:26-28
When the people saw that Moses
delayed to come down from the
mountain, the people gathered
themselves together to Aaron and
said to him, “Up, make us gods who
shall go before us. As for this Moses,
the man who brought us up out of the
land of Egypt, we do not know what
has become of him.
Exodus 32:1
The Anointing of the Mishkan and the Kohanim (Exodus
30:22-33)
Adonai instructs Moses on the preparation of a sacred anointing oil, a
unique mixture of spices and pure olive oil. This oil was used to
consecrate the Mishkan (Tabernacle), its utensils and the Kohanim
(priests), marking them as holy and dedicated to divine service. The
anointing symbolized Elohim's choice of specific spiritual roles,
establishing a space and people set aside for worship and mediation
between Adonai and Israel
.
The Golden Calf and the Renewed Covenant (Exodus 32:1-34:35)
This section narrates how, in Moses' absence, the people of Israel built
and worshiped a golden calf, violating the commandment against
idolatry. The wrath of Adonai is kindled against them for this act of
infidelity. However, Moses intercedes for the people, and Adonai
decides to renew his covenant with Israel. This passage highlights the
consequences of the sin of idolatry and the importance of faithfulness to
Adonai, as well as the divine mercy and forgiveness in the face of
sincere repentance.

Parashah Ki Tisha teaches us fundamental lessons about

holiness, obedience, repentance and redemption. Through its
narrative and commandments, we are reminded of the
importance of remaining faithful to Adonai, the need for
spiritual purification and the utilization of our gifts for His
service. The story of the golden calf, in particular, serves as a
powerful warning against idolatry and a reminder of Elohim's
unwavering love and mercy toward those who return to him.

Parashah Ki Tisha immerses us in a tale of detour and return,
where the episode of the golden calf stands as a powerful
allegory of human frailty in the face of faith and temptation
towards idolatry. Through this story, the depths of repentance
and the unwavering grace of Adonai are explored, offering a
lens through which we may contemplate our own
relationship with Adonai

Purification in Our Spiritual Life (Exodus 30:17-21)

with which Aaron and his sons shall wash their
hands and their feet. When they go into the
tent of meeting, or when they come near the
altar to minister, to burn a food offering to the
LORD, they shall wash with water, so that they
may not die,
Exodus 30:19-20
The Fountain of Bronze serves as a metaphor for the inner
purification we seek in our spiritual life. The water symbolizes the
Word of Adonai, which cleanses and renews, while the bronze,
resistant to fire, represents our endurance in the face of trials. This
washing before the divine service reminds us to prepare ourselves to
meet Adonai, a purification of the heart through His Word, reflecting a
constant and conscious surrender to grow spiritually.

You shall consecrate them, that
they may be most holy. Whatever
touches them will become holy.
Exodus 30:29
Divine Consecration through Oil (Exodus 30:22-33) The
preparation and use of anointing oil symbolizes the invocation of the
Holy Spirit to consecrate and sanctify. This oil, mixed with precious
spices, signals the transformation of the ordinary into the sacred,
equipping the priests and the place of worship for its divine purpose.
The anointing acts as a seal of election and preparation, emphasizing
the importance of being set apart for Elohim. There is an intimate
relationship between holiness and service in fulfilling our vocation in
the kingdom of Adonai.

Restoration after the Transgression (Exodus 32:1-34:35) It

And the LORD relented from the
disaster that he had spoken of
bringing on his people.
Exodus 32:14
reflects the human tendency to drift towards the tangible and visible,
abandoning faith in the divine and invisible. The rapid fall into idolatry,
despite having witnessed the wonders of Adonai, shows our
vulnerability and need for constant dependence on Elohim. Moses'
intercession and the subsequent renewal of the covenant highlight
Adonai's infinite mercy and His willingness to restore those who
sincerely repent, underscoring the importance of repentance.

The Parashah Ki Tisha invites you to reflect on our own idolatries

and the quality of our relationship with Adonai. It challenges us to
identify which golden calves we have erected in our hearts and to
destroy them in pursuit of a more authentic communion with the
Divine. The lesson of the covenant renewal assures us that, no
matter how far we have strayed, there is always a way back to
Adonai. It reminds us that true freedom and
life is found in total surrender to Adonai.

D ’ R A S H ( USAGE) PURIFIED BY THE WORD OF ADONAI

Parashah Ki Tisha teaches us about the importance of
purification, consecration and fidelity. With the Fountain of
Bronze, we learn the need to purify ourselves before
approaching the Divine. The Anointing of the Mishkan and
the Kohanim teaches us about the importance of being
consecrated for a sacred purpose. The Golden Calf
highlights the consequences of deviating from our faith and
the importance of repentance.

her by the washing of water with the word,
so that he might present the church to
himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle
or any such thing, that she might be holy
and without blemish.
Ephesians 5:26-27
The Fountain of Bronze reflects the spiritual process of purification
through the Word of Adonai. Just as the water cleanses the body of
the priests, the Word of Elohim cleanses our souls, preparing us to
enter into His presence. This act symbolizes the importance of
immersing ourselves daily in the Scriptures, allowing His teachings to
wash us, transform us, and lead us toward a life of holiness. It is a
reminder that our purity is essential to serve Adonai.

The Holy Spirit Sets Us Apart and Consecrates Us (Exodus

In him you also, when you heard the
word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation, and believed in him, were
sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 1:13
30:22-33) The anointing with sacred oil of the Mishkan and the
Kohanim symbolizes the action of the Holy Spirit that sets us apart
and consecrates us for Elohim. Just as the oil was exclusive and
sanctified objects and persons for divine service, the Holy Spirit
anoints us, marking us as Adonai's property and enabling us to fulfill
our spiritual mission. This act of anointing emphasizes our identity
and purpose in the kingdom of Elohim, reminding us that we are
called to live in holiness.

Redemption through Repentance (Exodus 32:1-34:35) This

If we confess our sins, he is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
passage underscores two crucial teachings: the absolute prohibition of
idolatry and the promise of redemption through genuine repentance. This
incident illustrates how the inclination toward material substitutes for Adonai
diverts the heart from its true purpose. However, it also shows that, in the
face of error, the way back is always open by divine grace. A real change in
attitude and actions can restore the broken relationship with the
transforming power of sincere repentance..

Parashah Ki Tisha reminds us of the importance of personal

purification, dedication to our sacred vocation and constant
vigilance against idolatry. These principles are not only
fundamental to our individual spiritual growth, but also
strengthen our community of faith. Upon reflection, we are
inspired to live lives that reflect our purification,
consecration and faithfulness to Adonai, always seeking his
guidance in our daily walk.

but is full of messianic references. It offers perspectives that

Anointing of the Mishkan and the Kohanim, and the episode of

The Purification in the Messiah (Exodus 30:17-21)
The Fountain of Bronze prefigures the washing and redemption
offered by Yeshua, the Messiah. Just as the priests washed
themselves to serve in the Tabernacle, believers are cleansed by the
blood of Yeshua, enabling them to approach Adonai with pure hearts.
This act of purification is not only physical but also spiritual,
symbolizing the new life and direct access to Elohim that Yeshua has
provided through his sacrifice, inaugurating a new covenant based on
Grace and Truth.

John 4:25-26
The Anointed in Excellence and Superiority (Exodus 30:22-33)
The anointing of the Mishkan and the Kohanim prefigures Yeshua, the
Messiah, the Anointed One par excellence of Adonai. Every anointed
element in the Mishkan, and every consecrated priest, pointed to Him,
who would fulfill and overcome these shadows as the true and
ultimate mediator between Elohim and humanity. Yeshua, being
anointed by the Holy Spirit, embodies the fullness of the divine
presence, the supreme sacrifice and the eternal priesthood, offering
complete redemption and direct access to the Father.

Therefore he is the mediator of a new
covenant, so that those who are called may
receive the promised eternal inheritance,
since a death has occurred that redeems
them from the transgressions committed
under the first covenant..
Hebrews 9:15
The New Covenant in the Messiah (Exodus 32:1-34:35)
The golden calf and the subsequent renewal of the covenant foreshadow the
establishment of the new covenant in Yeshua. Just as Israel failed to keep its
commitment to Adonai, opting for idolatry, humanity is constantly trapped in its
own versions of golden calves. Moses' intercession symbolizes the mediation of
Yeshua, who, through his sacrifice, renews the covenant, not on tablets of
stone, but in hearts, offering forgiveness and a restored relationship with the
Father.

Parsha Ki Tisha points to the Messiah Yeshua. The

purification He offers, His role as the ultimate High Priest
and His power to redeem us from our sins such as idolatry,
invites us to a deeper and more meaningful relationship with
Adonai. Through Him, we are invited to live a life of holiness,
service and genuine worship, always remembering the great
love and mercy that Elohim has shown us.

The expression "Bechokhmá Uvitbuná Uvdaat" presents three important root words: "Chochmah" (Wisdom), "Tebunah"
(Discernment) and "Daat" (Full Knowledge). In the Parashah Ki Tishah, we find a transcendental moment where the Eternal
One endows Bezalel with His Spirit for the construction of the Mishkan. This divine act confers upon Bezalel these three
qualities. Let's learn more about its significance.

The Ruach Hakodesh acts as our guide, enabling us to grow in the knowledge of the Word of the Eternal. We begin at the
"Chochmah" level, acquiring information about God and His commandments. As we mature, we advance to "Tebunah", where
our understanding deepens, enabling us to discern and comprehend the Will of Adonai more clearly. Finally, we aspire to reach
"Daat", a deep and experiential knowledge of Adonai, characterized by an intimate and close relationship with the Creator.

Wisdom, understanding and full knowledge are gifts of the Ruach Hakodesh, intended to deepen our relationship with Adonai. It
is not only to know information about God, but to know Him in a personal and deep way, to know what pleases Him and what
does not please Him, to live according to His Will and Character.
