The 8th Letter in Hebrew is the Letter “HET” (Ancient Hebrew) or “CHET” (Modern Hebrew), meaning a WALL or FENCE, symbolizing SEPARATION or PROTECTION!
[Chet] "You shall not steal.
Shemoth/Exodus 20:15 “You do not steal.
8th Commandment
Debarim (Deut) 5:19 ‘You do not steal'.
Wayyiqra (Lev) 19:11 ‘Do not steal, do not lie, do not deceive one another'.
MattithYahu (Mat) 6:19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also".
When we speak of stealing, believers immediate think of material possessions!
But this command is much more than just [stealing] material possessions!
If we lie to each other, we also STEAL the TRUTH from each other, thus keeping our loved ones bound through our DECEIT!
The word “steal” in this Commandment comes from the following Hebrew root word .
H1589
גּנב gânab gaw-nab'
A primitive root; to thieve (literally or figuratively); by implication to deceive: - carry away, X indeed, secretly bring, steal (away), get by stealth.
Messiah taught us to NOT accumulate earthly possessions where it can be STOLEN, but to lay up TREASURES in heaven that CANNOT be stolen!
Let’s examine our hearts today where is our treasure?
Many's treasure is their homes, cars and material possessions.
The father of “theft” (satan) uses his snares, deceptions and schemes to steal people’s salvation, their deliverance, their joy, their peace and also restricts them from worshiping The Father and Son in Spirit and Truth (satan uses scribes, translators and ministers to twist Scripture
(Jer 8:8; Jer 23; Eze 34; Mal 2)
Jer 8:8 “How do you say, ‘We are wise, and the Torah of יהוה is with us’? But look, the false pen of the scribe has worked falsehood.
Eze 34:2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Yisra’ĕl, prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה to the shepherds, “Woe to the shepherds1 of Yisra’ĕl who have been feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock? Footnote: 1See Jer. 10:21.
steal (away), get by stealth.
satan changed the Father and Son’s Names in Scripture to pagan titles and names, using these counterfeit titles and names by which man is [supposedly] saved, delivered, healed, immersed (baptized) and restored. satan has also successfully stolen worship away from Father Yahuwah and Messiah Yahushua in the process!
How did he do this? Believers don't use the SET-APART NAMES of Yahuwah and Yahushua in praise, worship and even prayer through satan's deception hiding The Father and Son's Names, removing it from Scripture.
satan keeps unknowing believers bound, [teaching] them the traditions and doctrines of man (Mar 7:7-9), which opposes the Instructions and Commands (Torah) of Almighty Yahuah (YHUH), thus keeping believers enslaved to Babylon’s abominations, rooted in lawlessness!
A fence or wall isolates from pending danger!
The Scriptural view of a fence is to offer protection instead of isolation!
The Hebrew word for “brother” is “achi”, meaning a “strong fence”!
A brother or sister (in Messiah Yahushua) PROTECTS – being part of Ab Yahuwah’s fence that helps ward off danger and destruction, and allows other believers to endure and overcome when the enemy confronts them!
Walls protect people, family and their possessions! Believers in Messiah Yahushua should be a “wall of protection” around those who they claim to love!
The number 8 (Letter Het/Chet) symbolizes “NEW BEGINNING”
