613 Mitzvot
Pray for Peace
Messianic Links

 

The purpose of this site is to encourage you to study and apply the word of YHVH to your life.

Mitzvah is a Hebrew word often translated "commandment." It comes from the Hebrew root tzavah. Tzavah means to "constitute, to enjoin, appoint, give charge to, set in order." So it really means more than to command. The plural form in mitzvot.

The purpose of the mitzvot is to give order to our lives so that we put YHVH first in our lives.

There are 248 positive mitzvot (Do's) and 365 negative mitzvot (Don'ts). The total number of mitzvot is 613. The Sages calculate that there are 248 important organs equal to the 248 positive mitzvot and 365 sinews equal to the 365 negative mitzvot in our bodies. This is just one of the ways that it is evident that we are created for YHVH.

In the 12th century, Maimonides classified the 613 mitzvot in his classic work of Jewish Law, Mishneh Torah, which contains 14 main sections.

The list below is the mitzvot as they are classified by Maimonides. Some of the mitzvot will have a link to a drash (teaching) that explores the Messianic and spiritual meaning of mitzot. It will continue to grow until we have covered all 613 mitzvot.
