Who left Egypt during the Exodus? Were there only House of Israel people of the 12 tribes, the seed of Isaac? We are told in Exodus 12:38: "A mixed multitude also went out with them." The agriculture was destroyed by the first 9 plagues. Egyptians were afraid. Why? After plague 10, the deaths of the firstborn, they were terrified that a plague 11 would soon come, fear of no Egypt because there were no more Egyptians. Exodus 12:38 explains it well. "We shall all be dead." Gifts were bestowed on the Hebrews in Goshen by the Egyptians. Bribes of golden jewelry to convince to leave Egyptians in safety. Please leave immediately. Plunder us. Then go. What did some of the smart set Egyptians do? They also left Egypt. What was left for them to enjoy? Dead crops, limited food, and fear of plague 11? Bye, Bye Egypt. So, many Hebrews in Goshen left and some Gentiles. Each and all agreed to accept the 10 Commandments, the 10 Wedding Vows Covenant given at Mt. Sinai (Horeb) at the first Pentecost (Shavuot).
 
   What did Yahushua/Yeshua say about the Torah and the Prophets? He came to fulfill them. Every yod and tittle would be binding (appliedl) not loosed (not applicable) as long as there are the heavens and the earth. The HEART OF THE TORAH consists of the 10 Commandments, the 10 Wedding Vows of the Covenant given and accepted by the Exodus people. What will Yahushua say to the damned, the unrepentant defiant rebellious sinners, at the Great White Throne Judgment at the end of the 1000 year reign? "Depart from me you workers of iniquity. I never knew you."  What does iniquity mean from the Hebrew? Torah breaking. Breaking of WHAT in the Torah from Genesis through Deuteronomy? The ESSENTIAL COMMANDMENTS, THE 10, THE VOWS, THE COVENANT. The 613 Mitzvah (commandments) are delineations  (off shoots) added to the original 10. CLARIFICATIONS. The first given were the 10, then the clarification delineations/subcategories later. The Hebrew word for iniquity in the Tehillim (Psalms) is "aven" meaning wicked and unrighteous. The Greek word "anomia" means transgression of law. A wicked and unrighteous person is a worker of anomia. Cross reference Matthew 7: 23 and Luke 13: 24-30. What is a simple way to understand the meaning? "Depart from me you who break the Torah. I never knew you."
 
   TORAH means INSTRUCTION from the Hebrew, not law or Mosaic law. The heart and core of the ethical and moral instruction for humankind was given by Abba Father through the mediator Moses for all humankind. These are the 10 Commandments, 10 Wedding Vows, 10 Imperatives, 10 Absolutes, the 10 Essentials. Are "mixed multitude" Gentiles under the Instruction since Moses? Yes. A central misunderstanding is Grace versus Instruction. Paul wrote that those in Christ were not UNDER THE CONDEMNATION OF THE TORAH for not perfectly obeyed. Yet in Matthew 7:23 ad Luke 13: 24-30 the Redeemer lets us know that we are UNDER THE INSTRUCTION OF THE TORAH. The 10 Commandments have been necessary since Moses. Why? They guide, tutor, and teach in letting all learn and remember and obey the differences between good and evil, right or wrong, righteousness or sins. At the judgment of the lost damned who perished in their non repentance  and sins, many will learn that there has been much more than conscience to guide each person. There has been necessary and vital INSTRUCTION. Part 2 next.
