<\/strong>In a recent blog I wrote about the Mystery of the Passover Wine and the Yayin HaMeshumar<\/a>, but today I want to share with you about the mystery of of the broken Passover Matzah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very important to the Passover seder are the ceremonies related to the three matzah. The seder begins with three Matzahs which are kept in compartments in a special linen bag called a MATZAH TESH also referred to as a \u201cunity\u201d by the Rabbis. During the seder the middle matzah is broken. The broken portion is wrapped in linen and hidden away until the end of the seder, when it is brought out and eaten at the end of the meal as the AFIKIOMEN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three Matzahs recall the three measures\n of fine meal from which Sarah made three cakes for the \u201cthree men\u201d who \ncame to Avraham by the Oaks of Mamre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 And YHWH appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.<\/em>
\n2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked. And behold, three men stood \nover against him. And when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the \ntent door, and bowed down to the earth,<\/em>
\n3 And said, YHWH. If now I have found favor in your sight, pass not away I pray you, from your servant.<\/em>
\n4 Let now a little water be fetched and wash your feet, and recline yourselves under the tree.<\/em>
\n5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and stay you your heart. After\n that, you shall pass on, forasmuch as you are come to your servant. And\n They said: So do, as you have said.<\/em>
\n6 And Avraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make \nready quickly, three measures of fine meal; knead it, and make cakes.<\/em>
\n(Gen. 18:1-6 HRV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hebrew word for \u201ccakes\u201d here is EGOT (plural for EGAH). The Greek\n translators used a very interesting word to translate this word with \nEGKRUFIAS. The typical word for such a \u201ccake\u201d is EGKRIS. The word \nEGKRUFIAS seems to merge this word with the Greek word KRUFIAS meaning \n\u201chidden, secret, concealed\u201d. It may be that EGKRIS is fried, while \nEGKRUFIAS is baked by covering it with a cover which is covered in hot \ncoals. At any rate the ancient Jewish writer Philo, who lived about the \nsame time as Yeshua, quickly noticed the unusual Greek word here. Philo \nwrites concerning Gen. 18:6:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it is very good that these three measures should, as it were,\n be kneaded together in the soul, and mixed up together, in order that \nso the soul, being persuaded that the supreme being is God, who has \nraised his head above all his powers, and who is beheld independently of\n them, and who makes himself visible in them, may receive the characters\n of his power and beneficence, and becoming initiated into the perfect \nmysteries, may not be too ready to divulge the divine secrets to any \none, but may treasure them up in herself, and keeping a check over her \nspeech, may conceal them in silence; for the words of the scripture are,\n \u201cTo make secret cakes (EGKRUFIAS)\u201d (Gen. 18:6) because the sacred and \nmystic statements about the one uncreated Being, and about his powers, \nought to be kept secret; since it does not belong to every one to keep \nthe deposit of divine mysteries properly.<\/em>
\n(On Birth of Able XV 59-60)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philo goes on to tie these three measures for three cakes in with the \u201ccakes\u201d of unleavened bread eaten at Passover. He writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the stream of the intemperate soul, flowing outwards through \nthe mouth and tongue, is pumped up and poured into all ears. Some of \nwhich having wide channels, keeps that which is poured into them with \nall cheerfulness; but others, through the narrowness of the passages, \nare unable to be bedewed by it. But that which overflows being poured \nforth in an unrestrained manner, is scattered in every direction: so \nthat what has been concealed escapes and floats on the top of it, and, \nlike a random torrent of mud, bears along with it in its flood, things \nworthy of being tended with all care. In reference to which, those \npersons appear to me to have come to a right decision who have been \ninitiated in the lesser mysteries before learning anything of these \ngreater ones. \u201cFor they baked their flour which they brought out of \nEgypt , baking secret cakes (EGKRUFIAS) of unleavened Bread.\u201d (Exodus \n12:39). That is to say, they dealt with the untameable and savage \npassions, softening them with reason as they would knead bread; fore \nthey did not divulge the manner of their kneading and improving it, as \nit was derived from some divine system of preparation; but they \ntreasured it up in their secret stores, not being elated at the \nknowledge of the mystery, but yielding and being lowly as to their \nboasting.<\/em>
\n(On Birth of Able XVI. 61-62)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who were these \u201cthree men\u201d in Genesis 18 which correspond to the \nthree measures of flour for the three \u201csecret cakes\u201d? The Zohar comments\n on this passage saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who were the \u201cthree men\u201d? They are Abraham, Isaac and Jacob\u2026\u201d<\/em>
\n(Zohar 1:98b)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This does not mean that Abraham Isaac and Jacob appeared before \nAbraham. In the Kabbalah Abraham, Isaac and Jacob represent the Three \nPillars of the Godhead, as we read in the Bahir:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the merit of Abraham who was worthy of the attribute of \nKindness (CHESED), Isaac was worthy of the attribute of Terror (PACHAD),\n Jacob was worthy of the attribute of Truth, which is the attribute of \nPeace.<\/em>
\n(Bahir 137)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abraham\u2026 was worthy and took Kindness (CHESED) as his attribute, \nas it is written \u201cKindness to Abraham\u201d (Mic. 7:20). Isaac\u2026 was worthy \nand took the attribute of Strength (GEVURAH), which is called Terror \n(PACHAD). It is thus written \u201cAnd Jacob swore by the terror of Isaac his\n father.\u201d (Gen. 31:53)\u2026 Abraham is above and Isaac is below him, you \nwill be in the center and take all three. What is the center? It is \npeace , as it is written \u201cYou give truth to Jacob\u201d (Mic. 7:20). Truth is\n identical with peace, as it is written \u201cWords of peace and truth\u201d (Est.\n 9:30) It is also written \u201cFor peace and truth will be in my days\u201d (2Kn.\n 20:19)<\/em>
\n(Bahir 190)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Kindness, Truth\/Peace and Strength\/Terror are terms commonly used to refer to the Three Pillars.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout this chapter the scribes altered several occurrences of \nYHWH to \u201cAdonai\u201d (verses 3, 22, 27, 30, 31 and 32). These are six of the\n 134 places where the scribes altered Adonai to YHWH, all in this one \nchapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philo says of these \u201cthree men\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026the one in the middle is the Father of the universe, who in the \nsacred scriptures is called by his proper name, I am that I am; and the \nbeings on each side are those most ancient powers which are always close\n to the living God, one of which is called his creative power, and the \nother his royal power. And the creative power is God, for it is by this \nthat he made and arranged the universe; and the royal power is the Lord,\n for it is fitting that the Creator should lord it over and govern the \ncreature. (122) Therefore, the middle person of the three, being \nattended by each of his powers as by body-guards, presents to the mind, \nwhich is endowed with the faculty of sight, a vision at one time of one \nbeing, and at another time of three;<\/em>
\n(On Abraham XXIV 121b-122a)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some bit more he writes that one of these three was the \u201cWord\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, it seems to me to have been, that Sarah, \n(Genesis 18:15.) the namesake of virtue, who had previously laughed, \ndenied her laughter to the person who questioned her as to the cause of \nit, fearing lest she might be deprived of her rejoicing, as belonging to\n no created being, but to God alone; on which account the holy Word \n(Logos) encouraged her, and said, \u201cBe not afraid,\u201d thou hast laughed a \ngenuine laugh, and thou hast a share in real joy\u2026<\/em>
\n(On Abraham XXXVI 206)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus the Three Matzahs represent for us the Three Pillars of the Godhead, as we read in the Zohar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Elohim said, \u201cLet thee be light; and there was<\/em>
\nlight. And Elohim saw that the light was good\u2026<\/em>
\nWhy, it may be asked, was it necessary to repeat the word \u201clight\u201d in\n this verse? The answer is that the first \u201clight\u201d refers to the \nprimordial light which is of the Right Hand, and it is destined for the \n\u201cend of days\u201d; while the second \u201clight\u201d refers to the Left Hand, which \nissues from the Right.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next words, \u201cAnd God saw the light that it was good\u201d (Gen. \n1:4), refer to the pillar which, standing midway between them, unites \nboth sides, and therefore when the unity of the three, right, left, and \nmiddle, was complete, \u201cit was good\u201d, since there could be no completion \nuntil the third had appeared to remove the strife between Right and \nLeft, as it is written, \u201cAnd God separated between the light and between\n the darkness.\u201d\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the Middle Pillar: Ki Tov (that it was good) threw light \nabove and below and on all other sides, in virtue of YHWH, the name \nwhich embraces all sides.<\/em>
\n(Zohar 1:16b)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Three Matzah are placed together to show their unity, as we read in the Zohar of the Three Pillars of the Godhead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The [profession of] unity that every day is [a profession of] \nunity is to be understood and to be perceived. We have said in many \nplaces that this prayer is a profession of Unity that is proclaimed:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHear O Yisrael, YHWH\u201c first, [then] \u201cEloheynu\u201d [and] \u201cYHWH\u201d they are all One and thus He is called \u201cOne\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behold, these are three names, how can they be one? Is it because\n we call them one? (literally: And also concerning the proclamation that\n we call them one?). How these are one can only through the vision of \nthe Holy Sprit be known? And these are through the vision of the closed \neye (or the hidden eye) To make known that these three are one (i.e. a \nTri-Unity).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is the mystery of the voice that is heard. The voice is \none. And is three GAUNIN: fire and air and water. And all these are one \nin the mystery of the voice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And also here \u201cYHWH, Eloheynu, YHWH\u201d these are One. Three GAUNIN that are One. And this is the voice of the act of a son of man in <\/em>proclaiming the Unity. And to which he sees by the Unity of the \u201cAll\u201d from Eyn Sof (the Infinite One) to the end of the \u201cAll\u201d. Because of the voice in which it is done, in these are three that are one (i.e. a Tri-Unity). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is the [profession] of the daily profession of Unity that is revealed in the mystery of the Holy Spirit.<\/em>
\nAnd there are many GAUNIN that are a Unity, and all of them are \ntrue, what the one does, that the other does, and what that one does, \nthe other does.<\/em>
\n(Zohar 2:43)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesis 18 ends with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And YHWH went His way as soon as He had left off speaking to Avraham, and<\/em>
\nAvraham returned unto his place.<\/em>
\n(Gen. 18:33 HRV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the next chapter begins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the two angels came to S\u2019dom at even, and Lot sat in the gate of S\u2019dom. And Lot<\/em>
\nsaw them, and rose up to meet them, and he fell down on his face to the earth.<\/em>
\n(Gen. 19:2 HRV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why \u201ctwo angels\u201d? Because one of the \u201cthree men\u201d being called \u201cYHWH\u201d \nin the previous chapter \u201cwent His way\u201d, while the other two \u201ccame to \nS\u2019dom\u201d. As the Zohar comments on this passage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rabbi Jose pointed that the preceding verse, \u201cAnd the Lord went \nHis way as soon as he had left off peaking with Abraham\u201d, indicates that\n only when the Shekinah departed from Abraham, and Abraham returned to \nhis place, did the two angels come to Sodom at eve. It says two because \none of the angels departed in the Shekinah, leaving only two.<\/em>
\n(Zohar 1:106a-106b)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In verse 18 Lot addresses these two \u201cangels\u201d as YHWH. Once again the \nscribes have altered this passage to read Adonia, but the original read \nYHWH (This is one of 134 places where the MT reads \u201cAdonai\u201d but which \nthe Masorah indicates that the text originally read \u201cYHWH\u201d and had been \naltered by the scribes in an attempt on their part to clarify the text.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we get to verse 24 where we read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then YHWH caused to rain upon S\u2019dom and upon Amora,<\/em>
\nbrimstone and fire from YHWH, out of heaven.<\/em>
\n(Gen. 19:24 HRV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zohar says of this passage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And YHWH caused to rain upon Sodom. The term V\u2019YHWH (and YHWH)<\/em>
\nsignifies the grade of the lower Court which requires authorization from on high.<\/em>
\n(Zohar 1:107b<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Targum Onkelos paraphrases the passage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Word of YHWH caused to rain upon S\u2019dom and upon Amora,<\/em>
\nbrimstone and fire from YHWH, out of heaven.<\/em>
\n(Gen. 19:24 Targum Onkelos)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus identifying the YHWH which causes the rain to come down from YHWH out of Heaven to be the \u201cWord of YHWH\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that according to the Talmud (San. 38b) a certain \nMin used this very passage in debating the deity of Messiah with Rabbi \nIshmael ben Jose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to define this Talmudic term MIN (singular) \/ MINIM (plural).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth century \u201cChurch Father\u201d Jerome writes of the Nazarenes and Ebionites:<\/em>
\nWhat shall I say of the Ebionites who pretend to be Christians?<\/em>
\nToday there still exists among the Jews in all the synagogues<\/em>
\nof the East a heresy which is called that of the Min\u00e6ans,<\/em>
\nand which is still condemned by the Pharisees; [its followers]<\/em>
\nare ordinarily called \u2018Nazarenes\u2019; they believe that Christ,<\/em>
\nthe son of God, was born of the Virgin Mary, and they hold him<\/em>
\nto be the one who suffered under Pontius Pilate and ascended<\/em>
\nto heaven, and in whom we also believe.\u201d<\/em>
\n(Jerome; Letter 75 Jerome to Augustine)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Ebionites and Nazarenes were two distinct groups with varying \nbeliefs (the Ebionites split off from the Nazarenes round 70 C.E.) but \nboth of these groups were known by Rabbinic Jews as \u201d Minim\u201d or as \nJerome calls them in Latin \u201cMineans\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Dictionary of the Targumim, Talmud Babli, \nYerushalami and Midrashic Literature, Marcus Jastrow defines MIN \n\u201c\u2026sectarian, infidel\u2026 a Jewish infidel, mostly applied to Jew \nChristians\u201d. Jastrow uses the term \u201cJew-Christians\u201d to refer to \nEbionites and Nazarenes although these groups did not call themselves \n\u201cChristians\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many scholars believe that the term MIN began as an acronym for a Hebrew phrase meaning \u201cBelievers in Yeshua the Nazarene\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The so-called \u201cchurch fathers\u201d also saw a special significance to this passage. Ireanaeus, who wrote around 185 C.E. writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And again, referring to the destruction of the Sodomites, the Scripture says:<\/em>
\n\u201cThen the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah<\/em>
\nfire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven.\u201d (Gen. 19:24)<\/em>
\nFor it here points out that the Son, who had also been talking with \nAbraham, had received power to judge the Sodomites for their wickedness.<\/em>
\n(Ireanaeus; Against Heresies 3:6:1)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we examine the Zohar, the Targum, the Talmud, Philo and Ireaneus\n on this portion of Torah, it becomes clear that the three men that \nvisit Avraham represent the three pillars of the Godhead. One of them \nreturns to Heaven at the end of chapter 18, leaving \u201ctwo angels\u201d in \nchapter 19 which are also called \u201cYHWH\u201d and which cause fire and \nbrimstone to rain out from YHWH which had returned to Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greek translator of the LXX and Philo knew that the unleavened \n\u201ccakes\u201d of Ex. 12:39 and the \u201ccakes\u201d of Gen. 18:6 contained a mystery. \nIt was this mystery of the Three Pillars of the Godhead and the three \nMatzah of the Passover Seder that Yeshua referenced when, on the night \nof his betrayal he took the bread, and blessed and broke, and gave to \nHis talmidim, saying: \u201cTake you, and eat this, which is My body (Mt. \n26:26; Lk. 22:19; Mk. 14:22) which is broken for your sakes; thus do for\n My memorial. (1Cor. 11:23-24).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This he broke into pieces and passed around to be eaten as the AFIKOMEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the days before the destruction of the \nTemple, when the Passover lamb was still offered, a piece of the \nPassover lamb had to be the last thing eaten in the meal (m.Pessahim \n10:8) so that one was left with the taste of the Passover lamb in the \nmouth. (b.Pes. 119b). Since the destruction of the Temple the broken \nmiddle matzah represents the Passover Lamb and becomes the AFIKOMEN. The\n word AFIKOMEN in Greek means \u201clast thing eaten\u201d but in Aramaic it means\n \u201cMy Presence has been raised up\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the mystery of the three \u201csecret cakes\u201d of unleavened bread, and the broken middle matzah, the Middle Pillar of the Godhead, the Son of Yah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
