A Trespassing Brother (continuation)
21 Then came Peter to him (Him), and said, Lord (Adon / Master), how oft (often) shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto (said to) him, I say not unto thee (you), Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven (70X7).
(METAPHOR: Yahusha (Jesus) explained ‘unlimited times’ metaphorically: 70X7 = 490. This is because there is no way anyone can keep counting until he or she has forgiven 490 times).
(NOTE: metaphor (noun) = a figure of speech that uses something else to describe another thing as a lesson without using the word ‘like’ or ‘as’. EXAMPLES: “He has a heart of stone.” , “He is a lion in battle.” “Life is a journey.”)
An Unforgiving Servant
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants (is like a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves).
24 And when he had begun to reckon (the accounting), one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand (10,000) talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay (But because he could not repay), his lord (master) commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord (Master), have patience with me, and I will pay thee (you) all.
27 Then the lord (master) of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants (fellow workers), which owed him an hundred (100) pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest (Pay what you owe).
29 And his fellowservant (fellow worker) fell down at his feet, and besought him (begged him earnestly), saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee (you) all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast (threw) him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants (fellow workers) saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord (master) all that was done.
32 Then his lord (master), after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou (you) wicked servant, I forgave thee (you) all that debt, because thou desiredst (you begged) me:
33 Shouldest not thou (Should not you) also have had compassion on thy fellowservant (fellow worker), even as I had pity on thee (you)?
34 And his lord (master) was wroth (extremely angry), and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye (you) from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses (sins / wrongdoings).

The Children at Israel at Sinai
19 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
God (Elohim) Speaks to Moses
3 And Moses went up unto God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and bro Kev, would you like to share your point/s for today’s reading? called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou (you shall) say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 Ye (You) have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant (agreement), then ye (you) shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye (you) shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt (you shall) speak unto the children of Israel.
The Children of Israel’s Response
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).
9 And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) said unto Moses, Lo (Look), I come unto thee (to you) in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee (you), and believe thee (you) for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).
Sanctify the People
10 And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow (tomorrow), and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 And thou shalt (you shall) set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves (Beware), that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it (touch its border): whosoever toucheth (touches) the mount shall be surely put to death:
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth (sounds) long, they shall come up to the mount.
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
Meeting God (Elohim) at Mount Sinai
16 And it came to pass (And it happened like this) on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake (spoke), and God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) answered him by a voice.
God (Elohim) Calls Moses to the Mount
20 And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
21 And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish (Go down, warn the people, so that they do not break through [the barriers around the mountain] to Adonai) to see [Me], and many of them perish [as a result]).
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.
23 And Moses said unto the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst (you warned) us, saying, Set bounds about the mount (Set barriers around the mountain), and sanctify (consecrate; make is sacred) it.
24 And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) said unto him, Away, get thee (you) down, and thou shalt (you shall) come up, thou (you), and Aaron with thee (you): but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), lest he break forth upon them (or He will break forth [in judgment] against them [and destroy them]).
25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake (spoke) unto them.

The Ten Commandments for Israel
20 And God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) spake (spoke) all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God (Adonai your Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), which have brought thee (you) out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt (You shall) have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt (You shall) not make unto thee (you) any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt (You shall) not bow down thyself (yourself) to them, nor serve them: for I the the Lord thy God (Adonai your Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) am a jealous God (Elohim / Aluahym), visiting the iniquity (sin) of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing (showing) mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt (You shall) not take the name of the the Lord thy God (Adonai your Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) in vain; for the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) will not hold him guiltless (innocent) that taketh his name (takes His name) in vain.

(NOTE: Sabbath Day (proper noun – name of the day of the week) = Hebrew: שַׁבָּת. Transliteration: shabbath. Sabbath = Seventh day / Saturday / Yom Shabbat / Sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. In accordance with Exodus 20:8–11, the Almighty Creator Himself commanded that the seventh day of the week to be kept holy as the Sabbath Day (COMMANDMENT #4). The purpose of this day of rest is to remind the children of Israel (Yisrael) that God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) created the universe in six days and then rested on the seventh day. Jews and believers of Yahuah and Yahusha observe this holy day of rest (Sabbath day) from sunset on Friday until dusk on the following day. Genesis 1:5 (King James Version) And God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.)
9 Six days shalt thou labour (shall you work), and do all thy (your) work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God (Adonai your Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): in it thou shalt not (you shall not) do any work, thou (you), nor thy (your) son, nor thy (your) daughter, thy (your) manservant, nor thy (your) maidservant, nor thy (your) cattle, nor thy (your) stranger that is within thy (your) gates:
11 For in six days the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it (and made it holy [that is, set it apart for His purposes]).
12 Honour thy (Honor / Respect your) father and thy (your) mother: that thy (your) days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God (Adonai your Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) giveth thee (gives you).
13 Thou shalt (You shall) not kill.
14 Thou shalt (You shall) not commit adultery.
(NOTE: adultery (noun) = (1) voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse (2) looking and lusting after an opposite gender who is not a spouse = committing adultery in the heart – Matthew 5:28)
15 Thou shalt (You shall) not steal.
16 Thou shalt (You shall) not bear false witness against thy (your) neighbour.
17 Thou shalt (You shall) not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt (you shall) not covet thy (your) neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass (donkey), nor any thing that is thy (your) neighbour’s.
(NOTE: covet (transitive verb) = to want to have something very much, especially something that belongs to someone else)

God (Elohim) has Come to Prove You
18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off (from a distance).
19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us (You speak to us), and we will hear: but let not God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) speak with us, lest we die (or we will die).
20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye (you) sin not.
21 And the people stood afar off (at a safe distance), and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
Making of Idols Forbidden
22 And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt (you shall) say unto the children of Israel, Ye (You) have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Ye (You) shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye (you) make unto you gods of gold.
Rules for Building Altars
24 An altar of earth thou shalt (you shall) make unto me, and shalt (shall) sacrifice thereon thy (your) burnt offerings, and thy (your) peace offerings, thy (your) sheep, and thine (your) oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee (you), and I will bless thee (you).
25 And if thou wilt (you will) make me an altar of stone, thou shalt (you shall) not build it of hewn stone (of cut stones): for if thou (you) lift up thy (your) tool upon it, thou hast (you have) polluted it.
26 Neither shalt thou (shall you) go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy (your) nakedness be not discovered thereon (not be exposed on it).

1) יהושע (Hebrew 3091) romanized = Yahusha = God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) saves
⬇ transliterated
into Greek as Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς)

DIFFERENT SPELLING VERSIONS OF THE MESSIAH:-
Here are the explanations:-

3. SPELLING VERSION #3:-
Yahushua יהושוע (Hebrew 3091) as spelled in this manner (without the niqqud) depicts the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה (Hebrew 3050) means The Creator. Yahushua means Yah [I] cry out.
Yah יה (Hebrew 3050) is made of י (y = Yad) & הּ (ah = Hay) which means YAH (יה = The Creator),
u ו (u = Uau) = add
shua שוע (Hebrew 7769) = to cry out > ש (sh = Shan / Shin) + u ו (u = Uau) + ע (a = Ayin)
4. SPELLING VERSION #4:-
