Last updated: June 22, 2026

TORAH

FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
  1. Nm 25:10-12  Why does YHWH attribute Pinchas’ actions as having turned away His wrath from Israel?  What does the “covenant of peace” given to Pinchas reveal about YHWH’s purposes?
  2. Nm 26:1-51  What does the survival of certain Israelite families reveal about YHWH’s faithfulness?
  3. Nm 27:1-9  What stands out about Zelophehad’s daughters approach to Moses?  Why does YHWH affirm their request?
  4. Nm 27:18-22  Why was Joshua’s selection to succeed Moses made publicly before the community?
  5. Nm 28-29  Why are daily, weekly, monthly, and special festival offerings described in such detail? How do the festivals help Israel remember their identity?


BRIT CHADASHAH

APOSTOLIC SCRIPTURES | NEW TESTAMENT
  1. Jn 2:13-17  Why was Yeshua disturbed by what He found happening in the Temple courts? How is righteous indignation different than personal offense?

  3. Jn 2:21-22  What is the significance of Yeshua’s statement about destroying and raising the Temple?

HAFTARAH

THE WRITINGS AND THE PROPHETS
  1. Jer 1:1-10  What does it mean that Jeremiah was known before he was formed in the womb?  What encouragement does YHWH give him?
  2. Jer 1:11-15  Why might YHWH use visual symbols when communicating with His prophets?  How do these symbols communicate truths more effectively than direct statements?
  3. Jer 2:1-3  Why does YHWH remember Israel’s devotion in the wilderness?  How can remembering past faithfulness help restore present lack of faith?

Translations at Yeshua's House

Legacy Standard Bible

OUR MAIN GATHERING BIBLE
The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. And because none of us are fluent in those languages, we need a translation. While no translation is perfect, some are certainly better than others. At Yeshua's House the Legacy Standard Bible is our go-to "readable translation." It's not too much, and it's not too little. It's a relatively faithful word-for-word translation. What's more, it reintroduces Yahweh (YHWH) and Yah back into the text, thus familiarizing the reader, once again, with the Name of God. It was always there, in the original languages, but history stole that from us. Gratefully, the LSB translators put it back.

The Scriptures

The Scriptures are what we use for Bible study. It's mostly in English, but introduces the reader to the Hebrew language. For some, this can be overwhelming. But if you have the mind for it, it's a nice introduction, allowing the reader to passively become accustomed to the Bible Jesus and His followers would have read (sans the New Testament, of course). In the Scriptures, Moses becomes Moshe. David become Dawid. Egypt becomes Mitsrayim. It's not trying to be confusing. Quiet the opposite. It's goal is to help you make biblical connections. The more we understand the Hebrew language, the better interpreters we'll be of Scripture.
