Main Themes & Commandments — Parsha Tetzaveh

Yahuah Commands His People to Guard His Shabbaths

Ki Tisa emphasizes that the Shabbath is not merely a day of rest but a set apart sign between Yahuah and the children of Yashar’el. Yahuah commands His people to guard אֶת His Shabbaths throughout their generations because the Shabbath identifies them as a people sanctified by Him. The command is given immediately after instructions concerning the set apart service of the tent of meeting, showing that even the work of serving Yahuah does not override His command concerning the seventh day.
The Shabbath is established as a perpetual covenant and is rooted in creation itself, because Yahuah made heaven and earth in six days and rested on the seventh. The Haftarah connects this outward covenant faithfulness with the inward work of Yahuah, who promises to put His Torah within His people and cause them to walk in His statutes. The Brit Ha’Dasha likewise teaches that the renewed covenant does not discard Yahuah’s Torah, but places it within the heart.

Shemoth (Exodus) 31:13 – “Speak thou also unto the children of Yashar’el, saying, Truly My Shabbaths ye shall guard: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Yahuah Meqoddishkem (that doth sanctify you).”

Shemoth (Exodus) 31:16-17 – “Wherefore the children of Yashar’el shall guard the Shabbath, to observe the Shabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Yashar’el for ever: for in six days Yahuah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed.”

Yechezq’el (Ezekiel) 36:26-27 – “A new heart also will I give you, and a new ruach will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Ruach within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them.”

Ivriym (Hebrews) 8:10 – “For this is the covenant that I will cut with the house of Yashar’el after those days, saith Yahuah; I will put my Torah into their mind, and write it in their hearts: and I will be to them an Elohiym, and they shall be to Me a people.”

**Yahuah commands His people to guard אֶת His Shabbaths as a perpetual covenant and sign, allowing His Ruach to work within them so that His Torah is not merely known outwardly but written upon the heart and lived in obedience.

Yahuah Commands His People to Worship Him Alone and Reject Idolatry

Ki Tisa reveals the seriousness of turning away from Yahuah after He had delivered His people from Mitsrayim. While Mosheh was upon Mount Siynai receiving the testimony from Elohiym, the people made a molten calf, worshipped it, sacrificed unto it, and attributed their deliverance to the work of their own hands. Their sin demonstrated how quickly the people could turn aside from the commandments of Yahuah when they looked to something visible in place of Him.
After the judgment concerning the golden calf, Yahuah again commands Yashar’el not to enter into covenant with the inhabitants of the land or participate in their worship. Their altars, images, and groves were to be destroyed, because association with their elohiym would become a snare. Yahuah identifies Himself as Qanna, declaring that He alone is to be worshipped and that His people must not make molten elohiym.

Shemoth (Exodus) 32:7-8 – “And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Mitsrayim, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be your elohiym, O Yashar’el, which have brought thee up out of the land of Mitsrayim.”

Shemoth (Exodus) 34:12-14 – “Take heed to thyself, lest thou cut a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: For thou shalt worship no other elohiym: for Yahuah Qanna (is Jealous) is My name, He is a jealous El.”

Shemoth (Exodus) 34:16-17 – “And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their elohiym, and make thy sons go a whoring after their elohiym. Thou shalt make thee no molten elohiym.”

1st Qorintiym (Corinthians) 10:14 – “Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.”

1st Yochanon (John) 5:21 – “Little children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.”

**Yahuah commands His people to worship Him alone, destroy and reject every form of idolatry, and avoid relationships and covenants that would turn their hearts toward other elohiym.

Yahuah Commands His People to Keep His Covenant and Walk in His Ways

After the sin of the golden calf, Yahuah does not abandon His covenant purposes for Yashar’el. He commands Mosheh to prepare new tables of stone and again writes the words of the covenant. Yahuah proclaims His own character as merciful, gracious, longsuffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, while also declaring that He will not clear the guilty. Mosheh responds by bowing and worshipping and asking Yahuah to go among His people and pardon their iniquity.
The renewed tables demonstrate that Yahuah’s covenant words remain important even after the people’s transgression. The Haftarah looks forward to the time when Yahuah will cleanse His people, give them a new heart and a new ruach, and cause them to walk in His statutes. Yirmeyahu declares that Yahuah will write His Torah upon their hearts, while Ivriym identifies Yahusha as the Mediator of this renewed covenant. The Brit Ha’Dasha therefore connects the covenant given through Mosheh with the greater work of Yahuah through Mashiach, in which His Torah is written within His people.

Shemoth (Exodus) 34:5-7 – “And Yahuah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Yahuah. And Yahuah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Yahuah, Yahuah El, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.”

Shemoth (Exodus) 34:9-10 – “And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Master, let my Master, I pray Thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Thine inheritance. And He said, Behold, I cut a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of Yahuah: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.”

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 31:33-34 – “But this shall be the covenant that I will cut with the house of Yashar’el; After those days, saith Yahuah, I will put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohiym, and they shall be My people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahuah: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Yahuah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

Yechezq’el (Ezekiel) 36:27-28 – “And I will put My Ruach within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be My people, and I will be your Elohiym.”

Ivriym (Hebrews) 8:6 – “But now hath He obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”

**Yahuah commands His people to remain in His covenant, receive His mercy with humility, and walk in His statutes and judgments as He writes His Torah within them through His Ruach.

Hebrew Link Words

Ki Tisa (kî ṯiś·śā) (כִּי תִשָּׂא) — “When Thou Takest” — Strong’s Hebrew Words 3588 [e] and 5375 [e]
The Hebrew phrase כִּי תִשָּׂא (Ki Tisa) comes from כִּי (ki), Strong’s 3588, meaning when, because, for, that, and נָשָׂא (nasa), Strong’s 5375, meaning to lift, bear, carry, take, forgive, or take away. In Shemoth 30:12, the phrase introduces Yahuah’s command concerning the numbering of the children of Yashar’el: When thou takest אֶת the sum of the children of Yashar’el.
The word Tisa therefore carries the idea of taking, lifting, or bearing, and in the context of this portion it introduces the taking of a census and the ransom given for each soul. The portion then continues through instructions concerning the laver, anointing oil, incense, the craftsmen appointed to build the tabernacle, the Shabbath, the sin of the golden calf, Mosheh’s intercession, the renewal of the covenant, and the glory of Yahuah revealed to Mosheh.
Shemoth (Exodus) 30:12 – “When Thou Takest אֶת the sum of the children of Yashar’el after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto Yahuah, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.”
The title Ki Tisa therefore introduces a portion that moves from the taking and numbering of Yashar’el, to ransom, cleansing, consecration, covenant breaking, intercession, forgiveness, and the renewed revelation of Yahuah’s glory.
**Are you allowing Yahuah to take account of your life, cleanse you from what is unclean, and bring you back into obedience when you have gone astray?

Kopher (kō·p̄er) (כֹּ֧פֶר) — “A Ransom“ — Strong’s Hebrew Word 3724 [e]
The Hebrew word כֹּפֶר (Kopher) “A Ransom” comes from the root כָּפַר (kaphar), carrying the idea of covering, making atonement, or providing a ransom. In Ki Tisa, every man numbered among Yashar’el from twenty years old and upward was commanded to give half a shekel as a ransom for his soul unto Yahuah. The rich were not to give more, and the poor were not to give less, showing that every soul stood equally in need of ransom before Yahuah.
Shemoth (Exodus) 30:15-16 – “The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give אֶת an offering unto Yahuah, to make an atonement for your souls. And thou shalt take אֶת the silver atonement of the children of Yashar’el, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the assembly; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Yashar’el before Yahuah, to make an atonement for your souls.”
This ransom points toward the greater work of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, Who gave Himself as the ransom for many. The half-shekel could not itself provide the eternal redemption of a soul, but it established the principle that a ransom was required for the life of the people before Yahuah.
Mattithyahu (Matthew) 20:28 – “Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
**Have you considered the value of the ransom that Yahusha Ha’Mashiach gave for your soul, and are you living as one who has been redeemed by Him?

Ha’Derek (had·de·reḵ) (הַדֶּ֙רֶךְ֙) — “The Way” — Strong’s Hebrew Word 1870 [e]
The Hebrew word הַדֶּרֶךְ (Ha’Derek) “The Way” comes from דֶּרֶךְ (derek), Strong’s 1870, meaning way, road, journey, path, or manner of life. While the exact phrase Ha’Derek is not the title of Ki Tisa, the concept of the way is central to the portion. Yahuah tells Mosheh that the people have quickly turned aside out of the way which He commanded them when they made the golden calf.
Shemoth (Exodus) 32:8 – “They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be your elohiym, O Yashar’el, which have brought thee up out of the land of Mitsrayim.”
After the sin of the golden calf, Mosheh asks Yahuah to show him His way so that he may know Him and continue to lead the people according to His will.
Shemoth (Exodus) 33:13 – “Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in Thy sight, shew me now Thy way, that I may know Thee, that I may find grace in Thy sight: and consider that this nation is Thy people.”
The Brit Ha’Dasha reveals the greater fulfillment of this truth in Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, Who declares that He Himself is the Way. The way is therefore not merely a path of human effort, but is found in following Yahusha and coming unto the Father through Him.
Yochanon (John) 14:6 – “Yahusha saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.”
**Have you turned aside from the way Yahuah has commanded, or are you seeking to know Him by walking in the Way through Yahusha Ha’Mashiach?

He is the One represented by the cleft of the rock, where Mosheh was hidden while the glory of Yahuah passed by, pointing to the One through whom Yahuah’s glory would later be revealed unto mankind.
Yahusha Ha’Mashiach is the Mediator between Yahuah and His people, foreshadowed by Mosheh interceding for Yashar’el after their sin with the golden calf.
He is Yahuah who establishes the renewed covenant, in which Father Yahuah puts His Torah into the minds and writes it upon the hearts of His people.
Yahusha Ha’Mashiach is the One through whom Yahuah cleanses His people from their idols and uncleanness, gives them a new heart and a new ruach, and causes them to walk in His statutes.
He is the One whose glory transforms those who behold the glory of Father Yahuah, just as the face of Mosheh shone after speaking with Father Yahuah.
Yahusha Ha’Mashiach is the One in whom the glory of the renewed covenant exceeds the glory that was upon the face of Mosheh, for the glory of Father Yahuah is revealed in the face of Mashiach.

21 – Parashat Ki Tisa (כִּי תִשָּׂא) — “When Thou Takest” – 6th Month 2nd thru 6th Month 8th — (08/22/2026)
