Abraham is called, the father of the Faithful. Abraham Obeyed Yehwah Elohe's, Covenant Commandments, and became a blessing to all nations. So then, is the blessing received, by just believing? Or, is Faithful Obedience to the "Covenant Law", required to receive the Blessing?
The blessing to Abraham, appears to have two separate parts. The first blessing, confirms that Abraham, would receive, the promised "Seed or Son". The Second blessing, represents a "Land Covenant",, that is promised to Abraham and his descendants.
The Promised "Seed", prophetically envisions, the future "Savior Yeshua" the Son, of the Most High.
The "Promised Land", portrays the future Kingdom of Yehwah Elohe on earth.

Abraham's Faithfulness was Blessed, when he became a father, of the promised son, Isaac. And through Faithfulness, Yehwah Elohe's Covenant, would continue through Isaac, and remain a future inheritance, for the descendants of Abraham. Yehwah Elohe confirmed "His Covenant" with Isaac, and Jacob, then later Israel. Israel was allowed to enter the "Promised Land", after making a "Covenant" agreement. Israel promised to Faithfully Obey Yehwah Elohe's "Covenant Commandments". So that, their descendants would receive the blessing of Abraham.
Blessing of Abraham
Genesis 12:1–3 (NASB95) — 1 Now Yehwah said to
(Gen 12:4; 75 year old, Abram)
, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; 2 And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; 3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in
(you = Abraham)
"all the families of the earth will be Blessed".”
(Gen 18:18-19; 22:16; 17; 18; 26:4-5; Abraham's example of "Faithful Obedience" to Yehwah Elohe's "Commandments and Laws", would become a "Blessing" to all nations. All of mankind, must turn to Yehwah for Salvation. Yehwah Elohe, will offer the "Spiritual Covenant of Life", to everyone. And Bless each person by setting them Free, from sin and lawlessness, that leads to eternal death. )
(Acts 3:25; 26; 2:38; 10:45; 11:1; 28:28; Ro 1:5; 15:12; Isa 42:1; 4; 5; 6; 21; 49:5; 6; )

Land Inheritance
Genesis 12:6–7 (NASB95) — 6 Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 Yehwah appeared to Abram and said, “To your (descendants = זֶרַע = Seed ESL H 2233) I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to Yehwah who had appeared to him.
(Abraham's "Faithfulness", would be rewarded, with a "Land Inheritance", that is passed on to his descendants.)

Abraham and the Promised Seed
Genesis 15:1–6 (NASB95) — 1 After these things the word of Yehwah came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your
"Reward"
shall be very great.” 2 Abram said, “O Adoni Yehwah, what will You give me, since I am childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 And Abram said, “Since You have given no
(offspring = זֶרַע = Seed ESL H 2233)
to me, one born in my house is my heir.” 4 Then behold, the word of Yehwah came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir.” 5 And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So shall your
(descendants = זֶרַע = Seed ESL H 2233)
be.” 6 Then (he = Abraham) believed in Yehwah; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.
(Heb 11:8; 9; 10; 11; 12; Abraham Believed, he would become a father of a son. Abraham Faithfully Trusted Yehwah's "Promise of a Seed", end it was credited to him as "Righteousness".)

Land Inheritance
Genesis 15:7–8 (NASB95) — 7 And He said to him, “I am Yehwah who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it.” 8 (He = Abraham) said, “O Adoni Yehwah, how may I know that I will possess it?”
(Abraham wondered, how would he inherit the land?
Gen 15:9; 10; 11; 12; Yehwah required Abraham, to present a sacrifice. Figuratively, each animal may represent a person of "Faith". The ox - may portray Abraham, a female goat - Sarah, a male ram - Isaac, a turtle dove - Mary the mother of the future "Promised Seed" Messiah, and a pigeon - Joseph the husband of Mary. So then, Yehwah answers Abraham, by giving him a prophetic vision of the future.)

Prophetic Exodus of Redemption
Genesis 15:13–18 (NASB95) — 13 speaking to Abram, “Know for certain that your;
(descendants = זֶרַע = Seed ESL H 2233)
will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed;
("400 years" = this promise, was a prophetic vision, given to 85 year old Abraham. The beginning of the, 400 years Prophetic timeline, would be delayed until;
Gen 22:16; 17; 18; Ex 12:40-41; when, Abraham offered, 15 year old, Isaac as a sacrifice on Passover, 30 years later).
14 “But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out with many possessions. 15 “As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good old age. 16 “Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.” 17 It came about when the sun had set, that it was very dark, and behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a flaming torch which passed between these pieces.
(Gen 15:9; 10; 11; 12; Yehwah excepted, the required animal sacrifices, presented by Abraham.
Heb 6:18; Yehwah's promise is unchangeable and trustworthy. But, some theologians, make fraudulent claims and create deceptive doctrines, by misrepresenting the symbolism, of the smoking oven and torch. This symbolism, does not represent, Yehwah, making a commitment, to sacrifice His own Life, if He fails, to fulfill, His "Promised future Exodus of Israel, that would lead them, to the "Promised Land Inheritance".
Ex 12:1-2; 3; 6; 7; 8; 11; This Biblical fulfillment of the Exodus, opposes Theologians, attempt to support their pagan believe, in a substitution "Scape Goat" sacrifice. Theologians do not understand, the "Covenant of Redemption" offered to Israel, through the "Promise Seed" of Abraham. Yehwah"Purchased" Abraham’s descendants, by the Promised prophetic "Exodus" of Israel from slavery. Then, Yehwah, finishes answering Abraham’s question. Yehwah reassured Abraham, that his descendants will inherit the "Promised Land".)

(This "Land Covenant" is a conditional agreement given to Abraham and his descendants. Yehwah fulfilled, the "Promised Exodus" and "Redemption" of Israel from slavery. Then, Israel entered the "Promised Land".
Heb 4:2; 4-5; 6; 7; 9; 11; Later, Israel proved to be "UnFaithful" to the conditions in the covenant agreement, that requires "Obedience" to Yehwah's Commandments and Laws. So, Israel was expelled from the "Promised Land", because of Sinful DisObedience.
Eze 36:23; 24; 25; 26; 27; 28; 37:11; 12; 13; 14; 23; 24; 25; 26; 27; 28; "Yehwah will "Redeem" Israel, a second time, and restore the "Land Covenant" that is promised to Abraham's "Seed".

Then he arose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 He sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to Yehwah. 6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, “All that Yehwah has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!” 8 So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant, which Yehwah has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

which was to result in
"Life",
proved to result in

11 for "Sin",
taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.
12 So then, the "Law" is "Holy",
and the "Commandment is Holy and Righteous and Good".
13 Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was "Sin", in order that it might be shown to be "Sin" by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment "Sin" would become utterly "Sinful".

"Spirit of the Living EL elyon the Father",
not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 4 Such confidence we have through Messiah Yeshua, toward EL elyon the Father. 5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from EL elyon the Father, 6 who also made us adequate as servants of a
"New Covenant",
not of the

7 But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? 9 For if the
(Heb 10:1; 2; 3; 4; “ministry of condemnation” = mediation of Moses and Aaron and the animal sacrifices performed by the Levitical priesthood),
has glory, much more does the ministry of
("Righteousness" Gen 18:19; Dt 6:25; Psa 4:5; 9:8; 11:7; 15:2; 24:5; 33:5; 40:6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; Pro 1:1-2; 3; 6:21; 22; 23; 11:18; 12:28; Isa 9:6; 7; Mt 6:33; Lk 1:75; Jn 16:8; Ro 2:13; 25; 29; 14:17; 1 Cor 1:30; 2 Cor 3:9; Ga 5:5; Eph 4:24; 5:9; Php 1:11; 2 Ti 3:16; Heb 1:8; 9; 11:6; 7; 8; )
abound in glory. 10 For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory. 12 Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech, 13 and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.
14 But (Acts 7:51; Ro 2:25; 26; 27; 28; ) their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Messiah Yeshua. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; 16 but whenever a person turns to Yehwah Elohe, the veil is taken away. 17 Now Yehwah Elohe is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of Yehwah Elohe is, there is
("Liberty". Lev 25:10; 11; Isa 61:1-2; Jn 8:34; 35; 36; Lk 4:16; 17; 18; 19; 20; 21; Ro 2:13; Jas 1:12; 13; 14; 15; 2:12-13; 1 Jn 1:9; 2:3; 4; 5; 6; 3:1; 2; 3-5; 6-7; 8; )
18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of Yehwah Elohe, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from Yehwah Elohe, the Spirit.

Atonement, Spirit At One
Hebrews 9:1–22 (NASB95) — 1 Now even the first (Priestly mediation) had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary. 2 For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which was the lamp-stand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place. 3 Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, 4 having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail. 6 Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship, 7 but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. 8 The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing, 9 which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, 10 since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.
(Heb 10:1; 2; 3; 4; Nu 19:9; 17; 19; Mk 1:44; Lk 5:14; Jn 1:25; 26; 32; 33; 3:22; 23; 24; 25; 26; 11:55; Mk 7:1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; Acts 2:38; 15:1; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; 21:21; 22; 23; 24; 25; 26; Mt 12:17; 18; 19; 20; 21; Isa 42:21; Ro 1:5; 2:13; 25; 26; 27; 28; 29; Eph 5:26; )

It is the Spirit, that begins "Redeeming", a Truly Repentant sinner. The Spirit, cleanses and purifies the conscience, so that a person may learn Faithful Obedience to the Covenant Law.

Covenant and Cleansing Blood
18 Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood. 19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the
"Blood of the Covenant"
which Yehwah Elohe commanded you.” 21 And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood. 22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are
"Cleansed with Blood",
and without shedding of blood there is no
"Forgiveness".
Symbolic: Wine, Blood, or Cleansing Spirit of Life
Matthew 26:26–28 (NASB95) — 26 While they were eating, Messiah Yeshua, took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28 for this is My
"Blood of the Covenant",
which is poured out for many for
"Forgiveness of Sins".
(Jn 6:53; 54; 55; 56; 57; 58; 63;
The metaphor of Yeshua's, body and blood, are symbolically portrayed with the Passover bread and wine. The Bread and wine, represent food. Just as Yeshua's, physical life, became a spiritual nourishment, that feeds His disciples. The body and blood, becomes a powerful metaphor, representing Yeshua's "Life", entering into His disciples, producing "Spiritual Oneness". The indwelling of, the Spirit of Holiness, develops the heart and mind of Yeshua within disciples, producing Faithful Obedience to the Father's "Covenant of Love". Symbolic bread and wine, is only a metaphor of Yeshua's Spiritual "Life" that continues Forever. No one, is allowed to eat Yeshua's body or drink His blood. Messiah Yeshua's, death on a cross did not save anyone. Also, animal or human blood, can never cleanse or remove "Sin". Only the gift of the "Holy Spirit", is able to "Cleanse" and "Free" people from "Sin" that leads to Death. )

"Circumcision"
is that which is of the

Hebrews 10:1–4 (NASB95) — 1 For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins? 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

he has something to boast about, but not before Yehwah Elohe. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed Yehwah Elohe, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
(Genesis 16:3; 4; 5; 11; 12; 16; Abraham repented from his sexual sin, that conceived Ishmael through Hagar.
Gen 17:1-2; 15-16; 18-19; 21; 24-25; 13 years after the birth of Ishmael. Abraham's faithful and contrite heart, received forgiveness. Then Yehwah Elohe, renews the Covenant promise of a son. The sign of circumcision in the flesh, was added as a reminder, of the requirement for Faithful Obedience to Covenant Law and sexual purity
Genesis 18:10; 14; 18-19; 21:1-2; 3; 5; 9; 10; Begining, in the 15th year, after the original promise of a Seed. On Passover, Abraham and Sarah, received, the promised son, Isaac. )

apart from
(Works = animal sacrifices and circumcision in the flesh):
7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, And whose sins have been covered. 8 “Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account.” 9 Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say,
“Faith was credited to Abraham as Righteousness.”

Galatians 3:1–10 (NASB95) — 1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Messiah Yeshua, was publicly portrayed as crucified? 2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the "Spirit" by

or by hearing with "Faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the
"Spirit",
are you now being perfected by the

4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 So then, does He who provides you with the
"Spirit"
and works miracles among you, do it by the
(works of the Law = animal sacrifices and circumcision in the flesh, performed by Levitical priest),
or by hearing with "Faith?
(Ge 15:5; 6; 18:18; 19; 22:16; 17; 18; 26:4; 5; )
6 Even so Abraham believed (Elohe), and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.
(Isa 42:1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 21; Ro 1:1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 2:13; 25; 26; 27; 28; 29; )
8 The Scripture, foreseeing that (Elohe) would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.
10 For as many as are of the;
(Heb 10:1; 2; 3; 4; works of the Law = animal sacrifices and circumcision in the flesh, performed by Levitical priest)
are under a “Curse or Judgment”; for it is written, “Cursed or Judged” is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.”
Blessing of Abraham and Promised Spirit
Galatians 3:14–19 (NASB95) — 14 in order that in Messiah Yeshua, the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive
the "Promise of the Spirit" through "Faith".
15 Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations: even though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it. 16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but rather to one, “And to your seed,” that is, Messiah Yeshua.
17 What I am saying is this:
the (Law = of mediation through, animal sacrifices and circumcision, performed by Levitical priests),
which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by Yehwah Elohe, so as to nullify the promise.
18 For if the "Inheritance" is based on
(law = of mediation through, animal sacrifices and circumcision, performed by Levitical priests),
it is no longer based on a promise; but Yehwah Elohe has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.
19 Why the (Law = of mediation through animal sacrifices and circumcision, performed by Levitical priests)
then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a
(mediator = Moses and Aaron),
until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.
Baptism, and Crucifying Sin
Romans 6:1–8 (NASB95) — 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Messiah Yeshua, have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as
"Messiah was Raised from the Dead"
through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Messiah Yeshua, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

Spiritual ReNewal and Life from the Dead
Romans 8:3–14 (NASB95) — 3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, EL elyon the Father did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, He
"Condemned Sin in the Flesh",
4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward EL elyon the Father; for it does not subject itself to the law of Yehwah Elohe, for it is not even able to do so, 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please EL elyon the Father. 9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of EL elyon the Father, dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Messiah Yeshua, , he does not belong to Him. 10 If Messiah Yeshua, is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of (EL elyon the Father) who
"Raised Yeshua, from the Dead"
dwells in you, He who raised Messiah Yeshua, from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. 12 So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of the Father , these are sons of EL elyon the Father.

Abraham's Faithfulness and the Promised Resurrection
Hebrews 11:8–19 (NASB95) — 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an
"Inheritance";
and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; 10 for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is Yehwah Elohe the Messiah Yeshua.
11 By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many
(descendants = זֶרַע = Seed ESL H 2233)
as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. 13 All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. 15 And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly “Promised Kingdom” on earth. Therefore Yehwah Elohe is not ashamed to be called their Yeshua, the Elohe; for He has prepared a “City of Zion” in the future “Promised Land” for them.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; 18 it was he to whom it was said, “In Isaac your
(descendants = זֶרַע = Seed ESL H 2233)
shall be called.” 19 He considered that (EL elyon the Father) is able to
"Raise people even from the Dead",
from which he also received (Isaac) back as a (type, portraying Messiah Yeshua) .

Yeshua's, Perfect Sacrifice of Faithfulness
Philippians 2:5–12 (NASB95) — 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in (Messiah Yeshua) , 6 who, although He existed in the form of (Yehwah Elohe), did not regard equality with )EL elyon the Father) a thing to be “Hidden within His grasp”, 7 but “poured out” Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, (EL elyon the Father) highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of (Yeshua) every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that (Messiah Yeshua) is (Yehwah Elohe), to the glory of (EL elyon the Father) . 12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

The King and Holy One, Possesses Eternal Life
Hebrews 1:8–9 (NASB95) — 8 But of the Son He says, “Your throne, O (Yehwah Elohe), is forever and ever, And the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom. 9 “You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore (Elohe), Your EL (elyon the Father) , has anointed You With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”
Yehwah Elohe Loves Righteousness
Hebrews 2:7–18 (NASB95) — 7 “You have made him for a little while lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And have appointed him over the works of Your hands; 8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him. 9 But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, (Yeshua) , because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of (EL elyon the Father) He might taste death for everyone. 10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying, “I will proclaim Your name to My brethren, In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.” 13 And again, “I will put My trust in Him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children whom (EL elyon the Father) has given Me.” 14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16 For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham. 17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to (EL elyon the Father) , to make (Atonement) for the sins of the people. 18 For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

Yeshua, overcomes Sin
Hebrews 5:5–10 (NASB95) — 5 So also (Messiah Yeshua) did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”; 6 just as He says also in another passage, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” 7 In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety. 8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. 9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 10 being designated by (EL elyon the Father) as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. 7 “He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his Elohe and he will be My son.
