Relationships
Yahuah teaches us about how to be in relationship with Him and others. His order for our nation begins with the original commandments and each commandment teaches us something about how Yahuah expects us to operate with one another as a nation and with foreigners.
After the fall of Adam and Chuah, sacrifices for sin always had to be made to cleanse and cover those who broke Yahuah's law by doing something He instructed us not to do. The sacrifice was usually some kind of animal whose blood was spilled in order for us to receive cleansing and forgiveness. Whenever we make a decision outside of Yahuah's laws and order, we should put to remembrance that Yahusha paid the ultimate price for sin. Therefore, we should not behave as though his blood sacrifice was not enough or take his blood sacrifice for granted with repeated sins.
Our most important relationship is with Yahuah and His Word (Yahusha). Brothers, sisters, children, relatives, strangers, and even enemies follow. Tip: When you read scripture on a particular topic, please keep the whole of the Law in mind or keep the commandments in mind because all of scripture is intertwined. The list below is not comprehensive, but will get you started. One subject relates to another and maybe even on multiple levels. Remember Yahuah and His people are Ecad/One. For example, It is not okay to steal from someone because they stole from you; It is not okay to beat a stranger because he or she is not Hebrew; It is never okay to abuse physically, mentally, emotionally, sexually, financially period. Yahuah does not abuse. He disciplines those He loves. He punishes those who are unrighteous and unrepentant. It is good to treat others as you want to be treated and leave judgment for wrongdoings to Yahuah's justice. He always repays.

The Altar of Our Heart
Genesis 8:20-22
Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar. When Yahuah smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done. As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.” Here we can see Noah keeping Yahuah's law by making a burnt offering. Yahuah destroyed mankind for their perpetual wickedness, but He spared Noah and his family.
Exodus 29: 36-37
Sacrifice a bull as a sin offering each day for atonement. Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it. For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become most holy; whatever touches the altar will be holy.

Brethren
Proverbs 6:16
These six things doth Yahuah hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Genesis 13:8
Exodus 2:11
Acts 7:23-24
2 Chronicles 19:10

Marriage
Genesis 1:26
Then Yahuah said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself d and every creature that crawls upon it.” So Yahuah created man in His own image; in the image of Adam He created him; male and female He created them. Yahuah blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”

Sexuality
1 Corinthians 7:1-9
Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife. Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control. I say this as a concession, not as a command. I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
Galations 5:19
1 Corinthians 6:9
Intermarriage Outside Yahuah's Covenant
Deuteronomy 7:1-4
When Yahuah your Elohiym brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you— and when Yahuah your Elohiym has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. a Make no treaty b with them and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of Yahuah will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.
Separation and Divorce
1 Corinthian 7:10-16
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. Yahuah has called you to live in peace. How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Enemies
Exodus 23:20-33
"Behold, I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Pay attention to him and listen to his voice; do not defy him, for he will not forgive rebellion, since My Name is in him. But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will annihilate them. You must not bow down to their gods or serve them or follow their practices. Instead, you are to demolish them and smash their sacred stones to pieces. So you shall serve Yahuah your Elohiym, and He will blesse your bread and your water. And I will take away sickness from among you. No woman in your land will miscarry or be barren; I will fulfill the number of your days.
I will send My terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn and run. I will send the hornet before you to drive the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites out of your way. I will not drive them out before you in a single year; otherwise the land would become desolate and wild animals would multiply against you. Little by little I will drive them out ahead of you, until you become fruitful and possess the land. And I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants into your hand, and you will drive them out before you. You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods. They must not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
Matthew 13:27-29
1 Peter 5:8
