Strange Spices Pt. 1




http://media.treehugger.com/assets/images/2011/10/spices-market.jpg

Ex 30:

9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and ye shall pour no drink-offering thereon.
34 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense; of each shall there be a like weight.

That is 4 types of incense in equal weights.

What did the rabbis do?

1)Balsam 2)Onycha 3)Galbanum 4)Frankincense the weight of seventy portions each 5)Myrrh 6)Cassia 7)Spikenard 8)and Saffron, the weight of sixteen portions each. 9)12 Portions of Costus 10) Three of aromatic or Bark 11)Nine of Cinnamon

That is more than the 4 spices , and in different quantities.

Then: “
Further, nine kavs of Lye of Carsina. And three kavs and three Se'Ahs of Cyprus wine. And if one should not find any Cyprus wine, he should bring old white wine and a quarter of the salt of Sodom. And a small measure of a smoke raising herb

These are rabbinic mishnaic formulae which are found in the rabbinic siddur and read daily.


In every way, the Rabbis violate the Torah, Ex 30; v.9-34

a) by bringing strange incense
b) they use unequal weights
c) they bring drink offering!

This is blasphemous!


Footnote:  The specific addition of "Cyprus wine" on the Temple Altar  is further proof of the Hellenistic nature of the Pharisees, and the lengths they would go to, to defile the Temple.
