Opening Summary
 
So what is faith? What does it mean to say you have faith or trust in Yahuah? Many people today claim to
trust/have faith in Him; but can you tell that this is true by their lives? Many people claim they believe and
even declare they walk in His Ruach but refuse to hold fast to even the least of His commands. Is that trust?
People claim to trust Him but do not know or seek His Name. Is that possible? What does real trust look
like when it comes to the Father and what do His actions and words tell us about how He feels about not
being trusted? We’re going to look at a few scenarios that will help answer these age-old ideas about
faith/trust.

Faith. What is it Really?

 
The word faith, born in the mid 13c, means “duty of fulfilling one’s trust, from Old French ‘feid, foi’ which
equates to “faith, belief, trust, confidence, pledge” in English; and from Latin ‘fides’ which is “trust, faith,
confidence, reliance, credence, belief”, from the root of fidere which simply means “to trust”.
Greek: “to persuade, to draw towards anything, to conciliate, to believe, to obey!
Trust seems to be the common denominator, so let’s also look at what it means to trust. Trust is from 12c
and it means help, confidence, comfort, consolation, trust, fidelity, agreement or alliance. Some
synonymous words or words related to trust are confidence, credence, assurance, certainty, sureness,
reliance and faith just to name a few. The research tells us that trust and faith are interchangeable but trust
seems to have been birthed earlier than faith so we will be referring to the term ‘trust’ throughout this
study.

A Look at Distrust Among the People and the Consequence

 
Intimidated by the people of the land?

rbdmb – Bmdbr 13:27-33

And they reported to him, and said, “We went to the land where you sent us. And truly, it flows with milk
and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 “But the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are
walled, very great. And we saw the descendants of Anaq there too. 29 “The Amalaqy dwell in the land of
the South, while the Chaty and the Yaḇusy and the Amary dwell in the mountains. And the Kana῾any
dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Yardan.”
30 And Kalaḇ silenced the people before M’shah, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession,
for we are certainly able to overcome it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they
are stronger than we.”
32 And they gave the children of Yashar’al an evil report of the land which they had spied out, saying,
“The land through which we have gone as spies is a land eating up its inhabitants, and all the people whom
we saw in it are men of great size. 33 “And we saw there the Naphylym, sons of Anaq, of the Naphalym.
And we were like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and so we were in their eyes.”
Note:
[See Twmv- Sh’muth 3:8,17; 13:5 – hwhy promises them the land]
rbdmb – Bmdbr 14:1
1 Then all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. 2 And all the
children of Yashar’al grumbled against M’shah and against Aharan, and all the congregation said to them,
“If only we had died in the land of Matsarym! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! 3 “And why is
hwhy bringing us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become a prey?
Would it not be better for us to turn back to Matsarym?” 4 And they said to each other, “Let us appoint a
leader, and let us turn back to Matsarym.”
Notes:
The entire congregation of the people believed the evil report over the Word of hwhy . Their fear had

  3  
  

become a command, a charge or an order of men that is taught (YashaYahu 29:13) as a result of the evil
report.
rbdmb – Bmdbr 14:5-11
5 Then M’shah and Aharan fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of
Yashar’al. 6 And Yahusha son of Nun, and Kalaḇ son of Yaphanah, who were among those who had spied
out the land, tore their garments, 7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yashar’al,
saying, “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8 “If hwhy has delighted in
us, then He shall bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which is flowing with milk and honey.’ 9
“Only, do not rebel against hwhy, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread. Their defense has
turned away from them, and hwhy is with us. Do not fear them.” 10 But all the congregation said to stone
them with stones. Then the esteem of hwhy appeared in the Tent of Meeting before all the children of
Yashar’al.
11 And hwhy said to M’shah, “How long shall I be scornedH5006 by these people? And how long shall I
not be trustedH539 by them, with all the signs which I have done in their midst?
Note:
• ‘Scorned’: H5006 Na’ats and it means ‘to spurn, contemn, despise or abhor’.
• ‘Contemn’: ‘to treat or regard with contempt’
• ‘Contempt’: means the feeling that a person or thing is beneath consideration, worthless or
deserving scorn.
• ‘Trust’ (‫ )יאמינו‬H539”Aman”: It means to support, confirm, be faithful, uphold, establish, verify,
stand firm, be certain, believe, faith, confidence, or trust.
Therefore, not trusting hwhy is to suggest that He cannot support, confirm, be faithful, uphold, establish,
verify, be stood firm in, be trusted, make certain or be believed!
Witnesses:
(See YaramYahu 11:20; 17:10, Tahalym 7:9, etc.)

20 And hwhy said, “I shall forgive, according to your word, 21 but truly, as I live and all the earth is filled
with the esteem of hwhy ta, 22 certainly none of these men who have seen ta, My esteem and ta,
my signs which I did in Matsrym and in the wilderness, and have tried Me now these ten times, and have
not obeyed.
Note:
H5254 ‘nasah’{‫ }ינסו‬: to test;
ha’Abary actually reads is “u’y’nasu AThy” which means “and they have tested/tried My yta “(they
have tested His mark) now these ten times, and have not obeyed (which is Shama H8085 & is also:
hear, listen, understand or give heed) so it says “u’la Shama” which is “and not Shama or heard,
listened, understood or given heed” according to My voice,

Not trusting in Him is ‘disobedience’.

22 certainly none of these men who have seen ta, My esteem and ta; My signs which I did in Matsrym
and in the wilderness, and have tested My ta now ten times and have not obeyed according to My voice,
23 shall see the land of which I swore to their fathers, not any of those who scorned Me see it.

What it means to be ‘cut-off’

Notes:
Cut off - Karath
Twmv -Sh’muth 12:15
‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first day you cause leaven to cease from your
houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that being shall be ‘cut
off’ from Yashar’al.
Note:

  4  
  

Cut off is the H3772 and it is Karath: to cut off, cut down, cut out, eliminate, kill, and permit to perish or
be destroyed.

Twmv-Sh’muth 30:22-33
22 And hwhy spoke to M’shah, saying, 23 “And take for yourself choice spices, five hundred sheqels of
liquid myrrh, and half as much – two hundred and fifty – of sweet-smelling cinnamon, and two hundred
and fifty u’qnah, 24 and five hundred of cassia, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place, and a hin of
olive oil. 25 “And you shall make wta from these a set-apart anointing oil, a compound, blended, the
work of a perfumer. It is a set-apart anointing oil. 26 “And with it you shall anoint the Tent of Meeting and
the ark of the Witness, 27 and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar
of incense, 28 and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand. 29 “And you
shall set them apart, and they shall be most set-apart. Whatever touches them is to be set-apart. 30 “And
you shall anoint Aharan and his sons, and set them apart mta, to serve as priests to Me. 31 “And speak to
the children of Yashar’al, saying, ‘This is a set-apart anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. 32
‘It shall not be poured on the flesh of a man, and make no other like it, according to its composition. It is
set-apart, it is set-apart to you. 33 ‘Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger,
shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
Note:
“AThu shaman mashachath qadash”, the set-apart anointing oil of the ta, and it was used to anoint
the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Witness, the table, lamp stand and their utensils, the altars of incense
and burnt offerings and their utensils, the basin and its stand and Aharan and his sons the kahanym - the
“qdash ATham kahan”. You’ll see it says it is not to be poured on the flesh of a man, nor are we to make
another like it or that person shall be ‘cut off’.

Twmv-Sh’muth 31:14
‘And you shall guard the Shabath of the ta, for it is ‘qadash’. He who profanes it shall certainly be ‘put
to death’, because anyone who does work on it, that being “u’nakarathah - shall be cut off “from among
his people.
Note:
Here hwhy makes it clear here that being cut off is being put to death. Therefore, cutting them off from the
land, or causing them to perish in the wilderness, is a consequence for not trusting or not believing that He
can support, confirm, be faithful, uphold, establish, verify, stand firm, be certain or be believed..

rbdmb – Bmdbr 14:24

24 “But My servant Kalaḇ, because he has a different Ruach in him and has followed Me completely, I
shall bring into the land where he went, and his seed shall inherit it.

Following Completely
AurYah 9:57-60
And it came to be, as they journeyed on the way, that someone said to Him, “Master, I shall follow You
wherever You go.” 58 And [v why said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven nests,
but the Son of Aḏam has nowhere to lay His head.” 59 And He said to another, “Follow Me,” but he said,
“Master, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 And [v why said to him, “Let the dead bury their
own dead, but you go and announce the reign of Alahym.”
Note:
So we see that trusting hwhy is believing Him and His Word, standing firm in Him and His Word,
knowing that He and His Word can support, establish, uphold and be verified but it also means that
we are following Him completely. Remember, those not doing these, are likened to those that are among
the dead…

rbdmb – Bmdbr 14:24

25 “Since the Amalaqy and the Kana῾any are dwelling in the valley, turn back tomorrow and set out into
the wilderness by the Way of the Sea of Reeds.” 26 And hwhy spoke to M’shah, and to Aharan, saying, 27
“How long shall this evil congregation have this grumbling against Me? I have heard the grumblings
which the children of Yashar’al are grumbling against Me. 28 “Say to them, ‘As I live,’ declares hwhy
‘as you have spoken in My hearing, so I do to you: 29 ‘The carcasses of you who have grumbled against
Me are going to fall (waste away-H5307-Naphal) in this wilderness, all of you who were registered,
according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above. 30 ‘None of you except Kalaḇ son of
Yaphanah, and Yahusha son of Nun, shall enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in. 31 ‘But
your little ones, whom you said would become a prey, I shall bring in, and they shall know the land which
you have rejected. 32 ‘But as for you, your carcasses are going to fall (y’phalu-waste away) in this
wilderness. 33 ‘And your sons shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your
whorings, until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness.
Notes:
• Distrusting people = evil congregation (if you look in Dbrym 1:35 M’shah reiterates of this evil).
• Their children shall bear their whorings {or u’nashau ATh zanuthy’kam}.
• ‘Whorings’ = ‘zanuth’ H2184: ‘fornication or harlotry’. It comes from the root H2181
‘zanah’ which means to commit fornication, adultery, prostitute or “be unfaithful to hwhy”.
Here, distrust is referred to as whoring!

The eternal fate of those who whore

Nwzx - Chazun 21:8
“But as for the cowardly, and untrustworthy, and abominable, and murderers, and those who whore, and
drug sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the false, their part is in the lake which burns with fire and sulphur,
which is the second death.”

Nwzx - Chazun 22:14,15

[‫ = אשר‬H833/834] = straight, upright
“Straight and upright’ are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of
life, and to enter through the gates into the city. 15 “But outside are the dogs and those who enchant with
drugs, and those who whore, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and all who love and do falsehood.
Notes:
Not trusting hwhy is scorning Him, disobeying Him, grumbling against Him and whoring and
furthermore, those doing it are referred to as an evil congregation.
You can find this witness reiterated in Dbrym 1:26-46. So how should we trust? What does it actually
mean to do it?

How Should We Trust?

Mylht - Tahalym 26:1
Rule me rightly, hwhy, For I have walked in my integrity. And I have trusted in hwhy, without wavering.
Mylht - Tahalym 27:3
Though an army encamps against me, My heart does not fear; Though battle comes up against me,
Even then I would be trusting.
Mylht - Tahalym_62:8
Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; Elohim is a refuge for us. Salah.
Nwzx - Chazun 2:10
“Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. See, the diabolos or the false accuser, slanderer and
adversary is about to throw some of you into prison, in order to try you, and you shall have pressure ten
days. Be trustworthy until death, and I shall give you the crown of life.
Hynpc - TsaphanYah 3:12
“But I shall leave in your midst an oppressed and poor people, and they shall trustH2620 in the Name of
hwhy.

  6  
  

Note:
The word they translated as trust is ‘Chasah’[H2620] which means “to seek refuge, flee for protection or
to trust, confide or hope in hwhy; u’chasu b’shm hwhy - and they shall seek refuge in, flee for
protection and confide, hope and trust in the Name hwhy!
Mylht - Tahalym 9:10
But those who trust in You, they know Your Name, because You do not forsake those who seek You
hwhy .
Mylht - Tahalym 33:21
For our heart does rejoice in Him, For we have put our trust (b’Shm Qdashu) in His set-apart Name.
Note:
We are to trust without wavering even if armies are encamped against us and we are about to suffer and be
thrown in prison, we should still be trustworthy, trusting hwhy, unto death. We cannot successfully do this
if we do not know, trust, seek refuge in and flee to for protection the Name of hwhy. U’chasu b’Shm
hwhy!

Yatsar [H3336] one whom is formed, framed and They are seeking refuge or trusting in the protection of
purposed Matsarym and not hwhy. This type of whoring is so common
today among people, that it has become something that is
expected. For example, most people trust in the shadow or
protection of their home until a storm or fire destroys it.
Here’s one you hear often today, “the people want ‘job
security’” thus; they have sought the protection or security of
their jobs and not hwhy. The list goes on and on.

3 “And the strength of Paro shall become your shame, and

the refuge or trust in the shadow or protection of Matsarym
{la’kalamah} your confusion (or disgrace, reproach, shame,
dishonor, insult, humiliation!).

Note:
This sounds very much like His people today and it is
probably because this promise was of the curse. Dbrym 28:48
hwhy says, “you shall serve your enemies whom hwhy sends
against you, in hunger, thirst and in nakedness and in need of
all”! Today what do you hear? “ I need a job or I need
healthcare, etc.” all of which are provided by the very ones
whom hwhy is using to punish us for our whoring. Thus, our
employment continues to make them richer while the fate of
the careers and ultimately the livelihoods of the employed
remains in their hands. This is not what He wanted for His
people.

Conclusion:
Why We Should Trust: The No Brainer Reasoning Approach.

Whymry - YaramYahu 17:1-8

1 “The sin of Yahuḏah is written with a pen of iron, engraved with the point of a diamond on the tablet of
their heart, and on the horns of your altars, 2 while their children remember their altars and their Ashary by
the spreading trees on the high hills. 3 “My mountain in the field, I give as plunder your wealth, all your
treasures, your high places of sin, throughout all your borders. 4 “And you, even of yourself, shall release
your inheritance which I gave to you. And you shall serve ta , your enemies, in a land which you have
not known, because you have kindled a fire in My displeasure which burns forever.” 5 Thus said hwhy
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from
hwhy. 6 “For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and not see when good comes, and shall inhabit the
scortched places in the wilderness, a salt land that is not inhabited. 7 “Baruk is the man who trusts in
hwhy, and whose trust is hwhy. 8 “For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its
roots by the river, and does not see when heat comes. And his leaf shall be luxuriant, fresh and green, and
in the year of drought he is not anxious, nor does he cease from producing fruit.

It is just as simple as that, you are cursed if you do not trust and you are baruk if you do. That sounds
familiar doesn’t it?

Myrbd – Dbrym 28:15

“And it shall be, if you do not obey the voice of hwhy your Alahym, to guard to do all His commands
and His laws which I command you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you:
