2 Chronicles 29: 25-30. "The Extraction."
So far, the Temple is thriving, we have our passions and plans mapped out, there is peace in the society regarding what has to be done and who will do it, what kinds of things are disruptive and off limits. These things are made clear to us at an early age, just as they were with Hezekiah, the King of Judah, who achieved Shabbat early in his reign, within the First Year.
For a Yearling to accomplish all of this is extraoardinary. What does he do next?
25 He stationed the Levites in the temple of the Lord with cymbals, harps and lyres in the way prescribed by David and Gad the king’s seer and Nathan the prophet; this was commanded by the Lord through his prophets.
26 So the Levites stood ready with David’s instruments, and the priests with their trumpets.
The Temple Band, manned by Levites, persons who know what they are doing, perform the way David, Gad, and Nathan, the King, the Seer, and the Prophet prescribe.
Cymbals represent the ears. One cannot close the ears to the sound of cymbals crashing.
Harps=The SevThe harp used in the Temple was an instrument of seven strings, as it is stated: “In your presence is fullness [sova] of joy . . .” (Psalms 16:11). Do not read the word as “fullness [sova]” but as seven [sheva].
And in the days of the Messiah it will have eight strings, as it is stated: “For the Leader, on the eighth: A Psalm of David” (Psalms 12:1). On the eighth string. In the World to Come it will have ten strings, as it is stated: “ . . . With an instrument of ten strings and with the lyre, with a solemn sound upon the harp” (Psalms 92:1–4).11en Signs of Mashiach.
7 strings = The seventh letter of the alef-beis is zayin. Its design is the form of a sword. The top of the zayin is the handle, and the vertical leg is the blade. Another interpretation of the zayin’s design is that it represents a crown and a scepter. The zayin thus alludes to power and authority.
8 strings= Ches= the rebuilding of the Temple= the crown and the temple united
10 strings=unity of all Jews with God.
The union of 7, 8, and 10 strings is זחי or Zachi, "to speak loud and clearly". The Cymbal means to listen attentively.
Lyres= they don't tell the truth! Also called Psalters, represent the Ten Inspirations for the Psalms:
The Book of Psalms will reveal numerous chapters attributed to various great personalities. The Talmud enumerates ten authors other than King David.
“David composed the Book of Psalms through ten elders: Adam, Melchizedek, Abraham,1 Moses, Heiman, Yedutun, Asaph, and the three sons of Korach.”2 Furthermore, according to the Midrash, Jacob recited psalms during his 20-year stay in Laban’s home.3
Clearly, many psalms were composed and recited many generations before King David, yet Psalms is popularly known as the book of King David!
The Talmud states that Rabbi Meir would say, “All the praises stated in the book of Psalms were recited by David, as it is stated: ‘The prayers of David, son of Yishai (Beauty, proof God exists), are ended (kalu).’
4 Do not read kalu; rather, read kol elu, ‘all of these’”—which indicates that the entire book of Psalms consists of the prayers of King David.
5 To paraphrase the Yiddish words of Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch, "The other said the words of Psalms, but he expressed them.6"
The Torah Tantras of the Ten Psalmists must be revealed. They are:
Adam= a product of the interaction of God with red soil.
Malchizedek=Righteous King with Efficient Social Energy
מלך
The noun מלך (melek) means king, and a king is not merely a glorified tribal chief but the alpha of a complex, stratified society, implying a court and a complex government.
The verb צדק (sadeq) means to be just or righteous; to be efficient with social energy. Adjective צדיק (saddiq) means just or righteous, noun צדק (sedeq) means justice or rightness, noun צדקה (sadaqa) means righteousness.
Abraham=Father of Compassion
Moses="The water and the Sacred Tree."
Heiman=to choose what is right
The verb ימן (yaman), meaning to go or choose the right (Genesis 13:10), or use the right hand (1 Chronicles 12:2).
Yedutun=songs of praise
The plural noun הידות (huyyedot), meaning songs of praise.
Asaph=to harvest from the past, to gather what is planted
The verb אסף ('asap), means to gather or collect, mostly in reference to harvests, and with a connotation of removal. The nouns אסף ('osep), אסיף ('asip), אסף ('asop), אספה ('asepa), אספה ('assupa) and אספסף ('asapsup) all express nuances of the act of gathering, things gathered, collections or storages. Also note the similarities in form with the ספף סוף ספה (spp swp sph) cluster of words, which all have to do with the extraction of one continuum from another.
Assir= to bind up, to deliver
Elkanah=What God has given, bind up
The verb קנן (qanan) isn't used in the Bible but it appears to tell of the weaving of many strands into a dynamic and interlocked network. These strands may be reeds and twigs that a bird weaves into a nest, or it may be acts of trade and routes of commerce that together combine into a bustling economy. Noun קן (qen) means nest, and verb קנן (qinnen) means to make a nest.
Abiasaph=The Father of what is Fathered
David= Persistent Beauty
Gad= Sound judgement, especially in the government
Nathan= The Transformer
Everything God instilled in man from the Beginning, we must productize and redeliver through sound government, a working stable social economy, one that is rife with compassion, absent propaganda and slander, full of righteousness, justice, the truth, and excellent educational facilities, all of these bundled up and delivered.
If the government will ensure this happens, our lives will be persistently beautiful and more or less worry free. Each increment of the Capital City that is born during this process automatically transforms the livelihood of the next.
27 Hezekiah gave the order to sacrifice the burnt offering on the altar. As the offering began, singing to the Lord began also, accompanied by trumpets and the instruments of David king of Israel.
Trumpets are the zeitgiests of each generation, the most knowledgeable and profound in their pursuit of the tenets of the religion. This section of the Tanakh means they must also be the happiest, due to the high integrity of their fruits.
28 The whole assembly bowed in worship, while the musicians played and the trumpets sounded. All this continued until the sacrifice of the burnt offering was completed.
29 When the offerings were finished, the king and everyone present with him knelt down and worshiped.
30 King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed down and worshiped.
All this being said, the word Ephesus "the new town, the one in back of this one" the Gematria for the final three verses*, is the result of constant practice, sacrifce, tilling, planting, harvesting, all together called the Extraction of what God hides inside the ground, the weather, the sun, the plants and animals, and working, thriving communities for our benefit.
