This mind vow or mental “tithe” if we choose to call it, would forever set a standard of the authority within the conscience being transformed, through inner renewal via recognition of Yahweh’s presence within. And Yahweh’s response to Yaaciob: “I am Yahweh from Beth (the mind, “House”) Yahweh, where you anointed the pillar (dependency; the stronghold of the mind), and where you made a vow (mind promise) to Me. Now arise (consciously lift up), get out of the land (oppressive thought plain, a desert plain), and return to the land of your kindred (“nativity, lineage”; familiar thoughts; #4138).”

(Genesis 31:13)
Yahweh would remember the promise of Yaagob and it would be that vow kept that would allow for his freedom (mental of course) when needed. The next time we would hear of a vow would not be until Leviticus 7. Starting at verse 11 of chapter 7 we come to realize that a vow is recognized as a potential “Peace Offering”. I say “potential” as there was allowed more than one type of Peace Offering: “If however, his offering is the result of a vow (mind promise), or a spontaneous offering the offering shall be eaten (mentally digested) the same day he offers his sacrifice (vs.11-16), and on the next day the remainder of it may also be eaten (consciously remembered).” (vs.16)

We come to realize that other than commanded offerings and sacrifices, a vow is a particular request for specific instances and at Leviticus 22 we are given greater clarity on the specifics: “Whoever offers a sacrifice (mentally of course) of peace offering to Yahweh to fulfill (consciously keep) his special vow, or as a spontaneous offering, it must be brought from the cattle (“mute, dumb”; former ignorance; 4*929) or sheep (“migrate”; timidity; #6629) and it must be perfect to be acceptable. There shall be no defeat (compromise) in it. Do not offer to Yahweh the blind (ignorant; #5787), the broken (“burst”; emotional mistrust; #7665), nor the maimed (“incisure, sharp”; arrogance; #2782), neither anything with warts (mentally “stricken”; #6879), or running sores (“flow, -bring”; impetuousness). Do not place any of these [sickly, broken thoughts] on the altar as an offering made by fire (conviction) to Yahweh.” (vs.21-22) It’s a matter of sound mindedness! When making a vow the mental offer that accompanies the promise must be done of sound mind. No emotional plea, no impetuousness, no wicked motive, no selfish gain. The idea and the mandates of the vow in reference to the Feasts have been the focus for us herein, but there are further studies you may attempt in reference to particular vows and the mandates that follow them. At Leviticus chapter 27, Numbers chapter 6, chapter 15 and chapter 30, Deuteronomy chapter 12 & chapter 23, you can continue to explore and dissect.

Spontaneous Offering nedabah (ned-aw-baw), “spontaneity, spontaneous”; #5071 It would of course have to start in the beginning. In order to properly comprehend what would later have to come under command, one would need to perceive with proper perspective of course. If you have yet to read the work titled “The Devil Inside”, then you have yet to understand the true cause of the fallen souls, commonly known as “mankind”. A brief overview shall suffice for now.
