HalleluYah HalleluYah HalleluYah my brotherThank you when you asked you receive so we do not follow the traditions of the Pharisees of or the synagogues of today according to revelations. Where can I get some tzitzits Like the ones you’re speaking of as to order them and see what they have available or they can make the ones I want to fit the clothing I wear? Or get the material and have someone make them for me I have a friend that has a sewing business that does a lot of things. Here’s something for you I think you’ll like this teaching my friend.

The confusion stems from the definition of the word “carcass” (spelled carcase in the King James Version) in Leviticus, the 11th chapter.

There are four different Hebrew words for “carcase” in the Tanakh (Old Testament), but in Leviticus 11, the word “carcase” is #H5038 “nebelah,” which means “that which dies of itself.”

We are commanded not to touch the carcase (an animal that dies of itself) of a clean or an unclean animal, because that animal could be diseased.

However, the unclean animal that is killed for the purpose of making shoe leather, camel’s hair clothing, or dye for fabric, is not unclean for these purposes—they are only unclean for eating.

We are prohibited from touching all animals (clean or unclean) if they die on their own or by another wild animal.

However, all unclean animals are unclean for eating under all circumstances.

In Exodus 13:13, YaHuWaH commands us to break the neck of a first-born donkey if he is not redeemed. In order to do this, one would have to touch the dead donkey’s body after he is killed. This is acceptable, because the donkey did not die of itself.

Also, check out the graphics below for PROPHETIC INSIGHT as to why YaHuWaH has used this unclean creature for the blue & purple dye.

While the article was inspirational and I respect it even if I don’t agree with it, and I repsepct everyone’s views here on the blue in tzitzit, I remind that the source of the true ultramarine blue in art was (and still is) lapis lazuli. The synthetic Frenc Ultramarine is not the same thing the greatests European artist used. What and earth art has to do with tekhelet? I believe even the history of greatest art has a clue. I will come to that later…

But the original language and context in the Scripture is all in all. Right?

In Exodus 24 it is said that the pavement under God’s feet is sapphire (“sappir” in Hebrew). Yes, the Hebrew word “sappir” sounds like the modern “sapphire” but I’ve learned that according to the historians what we know as the blue sapphire (gem) today was not known until the Roman era 300 BCE and the ultramarine deep blue lapis lazuli stone (which includes gold-colored pyrite), the “sappir” in the Hebrew Bible, was the “old sapphire”. Which was not a gem (as the modern sapphire) but semi-precious stone and was the source of the first (true) ultramarine blue hue in the whole world.

I believe the ancient Biblical sappir was not the sapphire of today but lapis lazuli. According to history we have no other option than to believe this if the historians are correct. Additionally in Ezekiel 1:26 it is said that God’s throne is made of the same “sappir” as the sappir-pavement under God’s feet in Exodus 24. Again, in the Biblical context “sappir” is lapis lazuli. Not the modern blue sapphire-gem which was not known until the Roman era. History proves that.

This same “old sapphire” lapis lazuli was also the second stone in the second row in the high priest’s breastplate (see “sappir” in Exodus 28).

Lapis lazuli was also used in ancient Egypt very much in the royal and religious context. Why? I believe it was so because the Egyptians knew very well this deep blue stone had connection to the supernatural (YHVH-God). Well, the Egyptians had their perverted perspective of the “Divine”, but even the perversions could have some clues of the Truth I believe. At least I have learned this principle very well in astronomy which is originally Biblical = God / Messiah-centered, not occult / pagan = the devil / self-worship centered.

Thirdly, the ancients thought that the deep ultramarine blue lapis lazuli reminds of the starry sky (because of the gold-colored pyrite in it as has been said). What a picture here in the Biblical sappir / lapis lazuli of the heavens / starry sky which declare the glory of YHVH-God (Psalm 19)! “The Heavens is my throne…” (Isaiah 66). We have Two Witnesses in the Scripture regarding God’s throne and the pavement under His feet being lapis lazuli, the ancient sappir-sapphire: Exodus 24 and Ez 1. If God’s throne is lapiz lazuli and the ancient Mesopotamians likened lapis lazuli with the (starry) sky, then IMHO the blue tekhelet-thread in tzitzit has to be lapis lazuli (the “primitive” ultramarine) too.

Again, the true ultramarine in art was made of lapis lazuli stone. The original ultramarine is rare and expensive even today.

Everything is connected in the Bible in a way or another: God’s throne and the (starry) sky even to the “four corners” of our garments with the ultramarine lapis blue (I believe). If God’s throne is made of the ultramarine lapis lazuli which has gold pyrite in it (together with blue, gold is a symbol of God’s glory too), the ancient Hebrew Sappir, then I don’t see any good reason to follow the rabbis or let any men have dominion on my Faith with the “sky blue” hue (what ever that is?), but use the true ultramarine-blue threads in my tzitzits which reminds me of Him and His Commandments, God’s throne and the pavement under His feet, and even the starry sky, the heavens!

“Thus saith YHVH (the LORD), The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?” (Isaiah 66:1)

What a King we serve in His Sappir! Blessings from Finland.
