And some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them will you scourge<\/em> <em>with whips in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city.<\/em><br><em>35 That upon you may come, all the righteous blood, which has been shed upon the earth:<\/em> <em>from Hevel the righteous, to Z&#8217;kharyah Ben Berekhyah, whom you slew between the<\/em> <em>Temple and the altar!<\/em><br><em>(Matthew 23:34-35 HRV)<\/em><br><br>  Yeshua here is speaking of the first murder to be recorded near the  beginning of the Tanak (Gen. 4:8-15) and a murder recorded near the end  of the Tanak (2Chron. 24:20-21).&nbsp; This, of course, justifies the  original manuscript order of the books, as they are still ordered in  Jewish editions.<br><br> I should mention that extant text of Matt.  23:35 reads \u201cZ&#8217;kharyah Ben Berekhyah\u201d (Zechariah ben Berechiah).&nbsp; This,  however, seems to be a scribal error.&nbsp; A scribe seems to have confused  \u201cZechariah ben Jehoidai\u201d(2Chron. 24:20-21) with \u201cZechariah ben  Berechiah\u201d (Zech. 1:1).&nbsp; The \u201cChurch Father\u201d Jerome records that the  Gospel used by the original Jewish followers of Yeshua (known as  \u201cNazarenes\u201d) (i.e. the Gospel according to the Hebrews. I have shown  elsewhere that our Gospel of Matthew is an abridgement of that longer  Gospel).&nbsp; According to Jerome the original Hebrew text used by the  ancient Nazarenes read correctly with \u201cZechariah ben Jehoidai\u201d.&nbsp; (The  parallel in Luke 11:51 has only \u201cZechariah\u201d) Jerome writes:<br><br><em>In the Gospel which the Nazarenes use, instead of \u201cson of Barachias\u201d we have found written \u201cson of Joiada.\u201d<\/em><br><em>(Jerome; Commentary on Matthew 23:35)<\/em><br><br> There is something else very important which connects these two murders, at least in Jewish tradition. <br><br>  The first is a tradition recorded in the Mishnah concerning the murder  of Havel (Able) that understands the plural word \u201cbloods\u201d crying out  from the ground in Gen. 4:10 to signify that whoever kills one person is  guilty of killing everyone:<br><br><em>\u2026it is said , \u201cThe bloods of  your brother cry\u201d (Gen. 4:10) It does not say, \u201cThe blood of your  brother,\u201d but. \u201cThe bloods of your brother\u201d\u2014his blood and the blood of  all those who were destined to be born from him.&nbsp; Another matter\u2014the  bloods of your brother\u2014 for his blood was splattered on trees and  stones\u2026. whoever destroys a single Israelite soul is deemed by Scripture  as if he had destroyed the whole world and whoever saves a single  Israelite soul by Scripture as if he had saved the whole world\u2026<\/em><br><em>(m.San. 4:5)<\/em><br><br>  Both Talmuds records a similar tradition surrounding the murder of  \u201cZechariah ben Jehoidai\u201d(2Chron. 24:20-21).&nbsp; This tradition parallels  the tradition concerning Abel above.&nbsp; In this tradition Zechariah\u2019s  blood also cries out for vengeance but ceases its cry lest all Israel be  destroyed.&nbsp; The Babylonian Talmud records the story this way:<br><br><em>Nebuzaradan,  [After that] he saw the blood of Zechariah seething. \u2018What is this?\u2019  cried he. \u2018It is the blood of sacrifices, which has been spilled,\u2019 they  answered. \u2018Then,\u2019 said he, \u2018bring [some animal blood] and I will compare  them, to see&nbsp; whether they are alike.\u2019 So he slaughtered animals and&nbsp;  compared them, but they were dissimilar. \u2018Disclose [the secret] to me,  or if not, I will tear your flesh with iron combs,\u2019 he&nbsp; threatened.&nbsp;  They replied: \u2018This is [the blood of] a priest and a&nbsp; prophet, who  foretold the destruction of Jerusalem to the&nbsp; Israelites, and they  killed him.\u2019 \u2018I,\u2019 said he, \u2018will appease him.\u2019&nbsp; So he brought the  scholars and slew them over him,&nbsp; yet it did not cease [to boil]. He  brought schoolchildren&nbsp; and slew them over him, still it did not rest;  he brought the&nbsp; young priests and slew them over him, and still it did  not rest, until he had slain ninety four thousand, and still it did not  rest.&nbsp; Whereupon he approached him and cried out, \u2018Zechariah, Zechariah,  I have destroyed the flower of them: dost thou desire me to massacre  them all?\u2019 Straightway it rested.&nbsp; Thoughts of repentance came into his  mind: if they, who killed&nbsp; one person only, have been so [severely  punished], what will be my fate?&nbsp; So he fled, sent his testament to his  house, and became a proselyte.<\/em><br><em>(b.San 96b)<\/em><br><br> The Jerusalem Talmud give a more detailed account:<br><br><em>Rabbi  Jochanan said, Eighty thousand priests were slain for the blood of  Zachariah.&nbsp;&nbsp; Rabbi Judas asked Rabbi Achan, Where did they kill  Zachariah?&nbsp; Was it in the woman\u2019s court, or in the court of Israel?&nbsp; He  answered:&nbsp; Neither in the court of Israel, nor in the&nbsp; court of women,  but in the court of the priests; and they did not treat his blood in the  same manner as they were wont to treat the blood of a ram or a young  goat.&nbsp; For of these it is written, He shall pour out his blood, and  cover it with dust.&nbsp; But it is written here, The blood is in the midst  of her:&nbsp; she set it upon the top of the rock; she poured it not upon the  ground.&nbsp; (Ezek. xxiv. 7.)&nbsp; But why was this? That it might cause fury  to come up to take vengeance: I have set his blood upon the top of a  rock, that it should not be covered.&nbsp; They committed seven evils that  day: they murdered a priest, a prophet, and a king; they shed the blood  of the innocent: they polluted the court: that day was the Sabbath : and  the day of expiation. When therefore Nebuzaradan came there (viz.&nbsp;  Jerusalem), he saw his blood bubbling, and said to them, What meaneth  this?&nbsp; They answered, It is the blood of calves, lambs, and rams, which  we have offered upon the altar.&nbsp; He commanded them, that they should  bring calves, and lambs, and rams, and said I will try whether this be  their blood: accordingly they brought and slew them, but the blood of  (Zachariah) still bubbled, but the blood of these did not bubble.&nbsp; Then  he said, Declare to me the truth of the matter, or else I will comb your  flesh with iron combs.&nbsp; Then said they to him, He was a priest,  prophet, and judge, who prophesied to Israel all these calamities which  we have suffered from you; but we arose against him, and slew him. Then,  said he, I will appease him: then he took the rabbis and slew them upon  his (viz. Zachariah\u2019s) blood, and he was not yet appeased.&nbsp; Next he  took the young boys from the schools, and slew them upon his blood, and  yet it bubbled.&nbsp; Then he brought the young priests and slew them in the  same place, and yet it still bubbled. So he slew at length ninety-four  thousand persons upon his blood, and it did not as yet cease bubbling.&nbsp;  Then he drew near to it and said, O Zachariah, Zachariah, thou hast  occasioned the death of the chief of thy countrymen; shall I slay them  all? Then the blood ceased, and did bubble no more.<\/em><br><em>(j.Ta\u2019anit 69)<\/em><br><br>  Yeshua tied these two murders together for two reasons.&nbsp; First, in the  original manuscript order of the books, these two murders are like  bookends on each end of the Tanak, implying the totality of Scripture  and the true and correct ordering of the books of the Tanak. <br><br>  It is no coincidence that these two murders are also connected by  traditions that connect each to blood crying out for vengeance, and the  potential murder of all Israelites.&nbsp; Yeshua clearly had these traditions  in mine when he formulated his statement.&nbsp; In fact Yeshua specifies the  location of Zechariah\u2019s murder more specifically that the written Tanak  does.&nbsp; The Tanak says only that the murder occurred \u201cin the court of  the House of YHWH\u201d.&nbsp; However the tradition recorded in the Talmud is  more specific:<br><br><em>Rabbi Judas asked Rabbi Achan, Where did  they kill Zachariah?&nbsp; Was it in the woman\u2019s court, or in the court of  Israel?&nbsp; He answered:&nbsp; Neither in the court of Israel, nor in the court  of women, but in the court of the priests<\/em><br><em>(j.Ta\u2019anit 69)<\/em><br><br>  While the Tanak places the murder simply \u201cin the court of the House of  YHWH\u201d, Yeshua places it more specifically in the Court of Priests  located \u201cbetween the Temple and the alter\u201d just as the Talmud proclaims  it.&nbsp; Yeshua\u2019s source here was certainly the tradition also recorded in  the Talmud.<br><br> We have another example of how a knowledge of  Second Temple Era Judaism and especially the Talmud, can shed light on  our understanding of the \u201cNew Testament\u201d and the words of Yeshua. <br> By better understanding Torah and by better understanding the customs  and practices of second Temple Era Judaism, we can better understand  the Scriptures. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"76\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/nazarenespace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Siren2.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-356\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ff0d00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The Rent is due in just five days and we do not have it!<\/mark><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know <strong><em>we have been digging ourselves out of a budget shortfall<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp;  As  I have said to you many times, I look on this work as a  co-operative  one with me, and all of you combining our resources  together in order to  get the job done of helping to teach this great  truth to all in the  world who will listen.
