Did you know, the Torah have 5 books (1st books of the Scripture), and Psalms also have 5 books (that are all put together as one book known as just \u201cPsalms\u201d).<\/p>

The word \u201cDeuteronomy<\/strong>\u201d means\u00a0\u201csecond law\u201d or \u201crepeated law\u201d in Ancient Greek, which refers to the\u00a0fifth book of the Torah<\/strong>\u00a0(or\u00a0Pentateuch) in both Jewish and Christian scriptures. The word\u00a0Pentateuch is also Greek. Some have taken the words \u201csecond law\u201d literally, while nowhere in Hebrew or in Scripture we find a reference to a second law. In this book, Moses will be reminding Israel of their history, of the laws, and the future, while also filling some gaps of the story that we didn\u2019t get in the first 4 books.<\/p>

The Hebrew name for this book is\u00a0Devarim<\/strong>, which means \u201cWords\u201d\u00a0H1697 \u2013 d\u0101\u1e07\u0101r<\/a>. The reason it is called\u00a0Words\/Devarim<\/strong>\u00a0is because of the first verse in Deuteronomy 1:1 \u201cThese are the\u00a0words<\/strong>\u00a0which Mosheh spoke to all Yisrael beyond the Yard\u0115n in the wilderness\u201d.<\/p>

Another old term used for Torah is the Mosaic Laws. The term \u201cMosaic Law\u201d refers to the laws given by YHWH to the Israelites through Moses, as recorded in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Torah), and is named after Moses because he received and transmitted these laws from YHWH.<\/p>

Obviously we know that when YHWH spoke and created Light, and the rest of Creation, He used Words. But the first time this word\u00a0DABAR<\/strong>\u00a0is used in Scripture is with the Tower of Babel. Genesis 11:1 \u201cAnd the whole earth was of one language, and of\u00a0one speech (DABAR<\/strong>)\u201d.<\/p>

Where does all the Greek names come from? Around the time Yeshua was born, 3 to 1 BC, there were a lot of Greek Jews. They translated the Hebrew Scriptures to\u00a0Greek<\/strong>, which is called the\u00a0Septuagint<\/strong>, sometimes referred to\u00a0LXX<\/strong>. This greek version, Septuagint, was then later\u00a0adopted by the early Christian Churches. This is also why the\u00a0new testament letters were all written in Greek<\/strong>. The only book or letter from the new testament that we have a\u00a0Hebrew and Greek source is the Gospel of Matthew<\/strong>, which was well known among the Jewish community, even until the Middle Ages.<\/p>

Looking back at a previous post in Numbers 11-13 (click here to see the post)<\/a>, I explained about the origin of the name Jesus, which is a Greek translation from Iesous. I used both the Hebrew and Greek LXX translation to prove where the name Jesus should be Yehoshua, which is found in both old and new testament (Iesous and Yehoshua)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Deut 1:11 \u201cThey were also reckoned as\u00a0Rephaites H7497 \u2013 r\u1d4ap\u0304\u0101\u2019\u00eem, like the Anaqim H6062 \u2013 \u02bf\u0103n\u0101q\u00eem, but the Moabites call them\u00a0Emites H368 \u2013 \u2018\u00eam\u00eem.\u201d Some translations say something like this \u201cWhich also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.\u201d Remember in Numbers 13 where the 12 spies came back, and 10 of them said, verse 33 Num 13:33 \u201cAnd there we saw the giants, the sons of\u00a0Anak H6061 \u2013 \u02bf\u0103n\u0101q, which come of the\u00a0giants H5303 \u2013 n\u0101p\u0304\u00eel\u201c.<\/p>

In Deut 3:11 it says, \u201cFor only Og\u0305 sovereign of Bashan was left of the remnant of the\u00a0Repha\u2019ites. See, his bedstead was an iron bedstead. Is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the cubit of a man.\u201c\u00a0That is a bed of over 4 meters long!<\/strong>\u00a0 We read about the 12 spies in Numbers 13:21,23 \u201cSo they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Tsin as far as Re\u1e25o\u1e07, near the entrance of \u1e24amath\u2026And they came to the wadi Eshkol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes. And they bore it between two of them on a pole, also of the pomegranates and of the figs.\u201d\u00a0 Did you catch that?\u00a0\u00a0ONE CLUSTER OF GRAPES \u2013 they had to carry on a pole..\u00a0 food for giants..<\/strong><\/p>

The\u00a0first time we encountered giants was in Genesis<\/strong>\u00a0before the flood, in Genesis 6:4 \u201cThere were\u00a0giants H5303\u00a0in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.\u201d<\/p>

Let us do a break down of the names:<\/strong><\/p>
