1 YHWH is read by Blavatsky's Ebionites as /yaho:wa:/ which they take to be the Hebrew of "continuing reflexive causal of the verb 'to be' ", that is, "that which causes existence to come back upon itself", that is, "The Recursioner".

They consider Recursion per se to be potential rather than active. Recursion becomes active and the world is created when God activates Recursion. They consider that Recursion is what God does. Thus God does not need to be omnipotent nor omnipresent nor omnibenevolent nor any of the other omnis that philosophers limit Him by, but is better than all of those put together.

2 The whole of their morality and ethics is summed up in "potentializing evil and not preferentializing good"

To honor any of the determinants as if they were Recursion is to preferentialize good as they are all merely partial aspects of Recursion.

3 To lift up the name of God, which is The Recursioner, is to carry out Recusion. They see the world as a partnership between God and Humankind. God maintains the world in a state of Recursion in which all natural things and conditions are neither good nor evil but are empty of necessary relationship. It is up to humankind to apply Recusion, not to the natural order but to the relationships of the natural order.

A cyclone is neither good nor evil. It's just weather. As a cyclone approaches a small farmhouse it would not be appropriate to Recuse the cyclone. That would be to lift the name of God on to emptiness which would be preferentializing Good. Rather the name of God should be lifted onto the relationship between the cyclone and the farmhouse. Then you watch to see what happens. The cyclone might go around the farmhouse, or it might carry it and its two inhabitants away and drop it on a wicked witch.

4 The day of rest is Saturday, the seventh day, not a seventh day. As far as the relationship to Yellow, rest necessarily involves rest.

5 Honoring authority necessarily involves authority, rulership - Blue.

6 Murder necessarily involves death - Red.

7 Adultery necessarily involves sex - Green.

8 Theft necessarily involves ownership - Orange.

9 False witness is double barreled. Falseness necessarily involves reversal. Witness necessarily involves reflection - Purple.

10 Coveting is the central aspect of what all of these injunctions have in common. Coveting is preferentializing good. Center - Clear.

As the Jewish Ebionites see it, as a people who keep the 613 injunctions, they are a people who are Recusive to the world in general. And thus bring out both the best and the worst of other people.

They see the function of individual humans is to tend the world. To nurture it by being Recusive to it. And the function of the Jews is to nurture humanity by being Recusive to it. And the function of the Nazirites of the Jews is to be Recusive to the rest of the Jews. And the function of the Messiah (yet to come) is to be Recusive to all Humanity.
