Children of the Commandment
Part 4 of 4
I think it a very fitting close to this verse by connecting in order the words, “pure commandment”. These words, “bar”, meaning “son” in Aramaic, and, “mitzvah”, meaning “commandment” in both Aramaic and Hebrew, form the name of a Jewish custom and tradition of confirmation. The two words together literally mean “son of the commandment”. Of course, the ladies are not left out of this tradition. For them, it is called “bat (pronounced bas) mitzvah”. Those that are the “apple of His eye” are the “sons and daughters of the commandment”.
In 119: 172 of the psalms, the writer says of His commandments, “My tongue shall speak of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteousness”. If His commandments are righteous, then it is understood He is righteous. If we are the sons and daughters of the commandment, then we are “sons and daughters of His righteousness”. Our Lord leads us in the righteousness of His Spirit. And, Paul said to the Romans in 8: 14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of YAH, they are the sons of YAH”. Keep looking up to our Beloved; make Him the “Apple of your eye”; and, “enlighten the fountain of your life with His blessed encouragement”.
