Book of Presence - Sefer Shakhynah

Covenant of the Sefer Shakhynah

Michai and all the kahein and the Levites shall speak to the House of Yisrael, saying: "Do not speak, for you shall listen, Yisrael, to these words from Alhym: This day you have the opportunity to be known as the strong people of Yahuah your Alhym, chosen from among all those who reside in the earth and from all those who call upon the Name of Mashyakh. You shall therefore obey the voice of Yahuah your Alhym, and observe His Mitzvoth and His Halakha, which He commands you this day."

Michai shall stand on the hill that is near the mishqana and the Levites shall say these words to the B'nai Yisrael: "Cursed is the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to Yahuah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret."

The Levites shall say: "Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this Torah, the Mitzvoth and the Halakha, to do and to observe them faithfully."

All the people shall indicate their agreement by saying: "Amen."

And the chief from among the Kahein, Michai, shall say unto the people of the House of Yisrael: "It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the voice of Yahuah your Alhym, to observe to do all His Mitzvoth which I command you this day, that Yahuah your Alhym will set you on high above all the goyim of the earth, and all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall listen to the voice of Yahuah your Alhym. You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.

You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.

Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed. You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out."

"Yahuah will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways. Yahuah will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to; and He will bless you in the land which Yahuah your Alhym gives you. Yahuah will establish you for a holy people to Himself, as He has sworn to you; if you shall keep the Mitzvoth of Yahuah your Alhym, and walk in His Halakha. All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the Name of Yahuah; and they shall be afraid of you."

"Yahuah will open to you His good treasure in the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many goyim, and you shall not take from their treasuries. Yahuah will make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if you shall listen to the Mitzvoth of Yahuah your Alhym, which I command you this day, to observe and to do them, and shall not turn aside from any of the words which is commanded of you this day in Sefer Shakhynah, the Pure Word of Alhym, the Holy Book of the Assembly of Yarushalyam, for all the House of Yisrael, He shall bless you. But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of Yahuah your Alhym, to observe to do all His Mitzvoth and His Halakha which I command you this day, that all types of curses shall come on you, and overtake you."

Michai shall speak to all Yisrael and say: "You are aware of all that Yahuah did before the eyes of our forefathers in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land; the great trials which you have read and heard, the signs, and those great wonders: but Yahuah has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear His Word, until this day. Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may be blessed in all that you do."

"You stand this day all of you before Yahuah your Alhym; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Yisrael, your little ones, your wives, and your foreigner who is in the midst of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water; that you may enter into the covenant of Yahuah your Alhym, and into His oath, which Yahuah your Alhym makes with you this day; that He may establish you this day to Himself for a strong and blessed people, as children of light, and that He may be to you Alhym, as He spoke to you, and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Ya'aqub."

"Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath, but with him who stands here with us this day before Yahuah our Alhym, and also with him who is not here with us this day, lest there should be among you any man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from Yahuah our Alhym, to go to serve the masters of other religions; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood; and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, 'I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry.'

Yahuah will not pardon him, but then the anger of Yahuah and His jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in the Torah shall lie on him, and Yahuah will blot out his name from under the heavens. Yahuah will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Yisrael, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this scroll of the Torah."

"The secret things belong to Yahuah our Alhym; but the things that are revealed in the Third Pillar of His Word belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this Torah."

"It shall happen, when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the goyim, where Yahuah your Alhym has driven you, and shall return to Yahuah your Alhym, and shall obey His voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul; that then Yahuah your Alhym will turn your captivity, and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples, where Yahuah your Alhym has scattered you."

"Yahuah your Alhym will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love Yahuah your Alhym with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.

Yahuah your Alhym will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. You shall return and obey the voice of Yahuah, and do all His Mitzvoth which I command you this day.

Yahuah your Alhym will make you plenteous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good:

for Yahuah will again rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers; if you shall obey the voice of Yahuah your Alhym, to keep His Mitzvoth and His Halakha which are written in this scroll of Torah; if you turn to Yahuah your Alhym with all your heart, and with all your soul."

"For this Book which I present before you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?' Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?' But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it and observe it."

"Behold, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command you this day to love Yahuah your Alhym, to walk in His Path, and to observe His Mitzvoth and His Halakha and all of His Pillars, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahuah your Alhym may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it."

"But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other deities, and serve them; I denounce to you this day, that you shall surely perish. I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed; to love Yahuah your Alhym, to obey His voice, and to cleave to Him; for He is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yahuah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Ya'aqub, to give them."

The Levites shall say to all the House of Yisrael: "This is the Torah which Moshah placed before the B'nai Yisrael, and these are the Traditions, and the Halakha, and the Pillars, which Michai spoke to you concerning this Scroll, the Sefer Shakhynah.

For this Book which Alhym places before you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it and observe it; therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed; to love Yahuah your Alhym, to obey His voice, and to cleave to Him; for He is your life, and the length of your days."

And the people who are in agreement shall say: "Amen!"

And all those who are in agreement by saying "amen", shall have their names written down in a book of memorial and it shall be preserved and kept in the annals of the Assembly of Yarushalyam by the chief of the scribes.

It will come to pass, after all of these words have been spoken to the House of Yisrael, that Mashyakh, and Mikhael the archangel and Grabryal and the heavenly messengers from before the face of Alhym, shall come unto the Assembly of the Throne of Moshah and Mashyakh will say:

"Tell the people of the House that I have chosen Michai, My brother, from before time, to sit on the Throne of Ya'aqub, for he is Ya'aqub, and he is Aharon in the flesh. My brother carries My spirit and He speaks with My voice. You shall listen and you shall obey and you shall be blessed."

And Mikhael the archangel will say to the Assembly of the Throne of Moshah:

"It shall come to pass in the span of one year that the entire scroll of the Holy Book shall be read by all members of the Assembly of Yarushalyam when they gather together to observe the weekly Shabbat, in order that they commit its precepts to memory, and they shall do this in each year.

And the scroll shall be preserved and written annually by the chief of the scribes and the scribes shall examine it for clarity and purity. The Holy Book shall be written in a language that is understandable by all members of the Assembly of Yarushalyam. This Holy Book, the Sefer Shakhynah, shall be in the homes of every member of the House of Yisrael."

And Grabryal will say to the Assembly of the Throne of Moshah: "Build an ark for the Holy Book, after the pattern in which Alhym will give unto Ya'aqub the voice of Yahushuah ha'Mashyakh, and it shall hold the Sefer Shakhynah and all the people of the House of Yisrael shall be blessed by it, for it shall have coming from before it the Shakhynah of Alhym and they shall reverence it in the customary manner, but no man shall abuse it in any manner, or that man shall have the curses that are written in the Torah placed upon him. Those who reverence the Holy Book and study it day and night shall be blessed from before that place."
