The City Gate Messianic Bible Study with Rav Andrew
Parasha 046 EIKEV - Because
"EIKEV" D'varim Deuteronomy 7:12–11:25
Parshah, "Eikev," means "because," and it is found in Deuteronomy 7:12.
In the Parshah of Eikev (“Because”), Moses continues his closing address
to the children of Israel, promising them that if they will fulfill the
commandments (mitzvot) of the Torah, they will prosper in the Land they
are about to conquer and settle in keeping with YEHOVAH'S promise to
their forefathers.
Moses also rebukes them for their failings in their first generation as
a people, recalling their worship of the Golden Calf, the rebellion of
Korach, the sin of the spies, their angering of YEHOVAH'S at Taveirah,
Massah and Kivrot Hataavah (“The Graves of Lust”). “You have been
rebellious against YEHOVAH,” he says to them, “since the day I knew
you.” But he also speaks of YEHOVAH'S forgiveness of their sins, and the
Second Tablets which YEHOVAH inscribed and gave to them following their
repentance.
Their forty years in the desert, says Moses to the people, during which
YEHOVAH sustained them with daily manna from heaven, was to teach them
“that man does not live on bread alone, but by the utterance of
YEHOVAH'S mouth does man live.”
Moses describes the land they are about to enter as “flowing with milk
and honey,” blessed with the “seven kinds” (wheat, barley, grapevines,
figs, pomegranates, olive oil and dates), and as the place that is the
focus of YEHOVAH'S providence of His world. He commands them to destroy
the idols of the land’s former masters, and to beware lest they become
haughty and begin to believe that “my power and the might of my hand
have gotten me this wealth.”
A key passage in our Parshah is the second chapter of the Shema, which
repeats the fundamental mitzvot enumerated in the Shema’s first chapter,
and describes the rewards of fulfilling YEHOVAH'S commandments and the
adverse results (famine and exile) of their neglect. It is also the
source of the precept of prayer, and includes a reference to the
resurrection of the dead in the messianic age.
