MONGRELS SEPARATED FROM YISRA EL
On that day, they call out in the scroll of Mosheh in the ears of the people; and they find inscribed therein that the Ammoniy and the Moabiy are not to come into the congregation of Elohim eternally; ² because they anticipated not the sons of Yisra El with bread and with water; but hired Bilam against them to abase them: and our Elohim turns the abasement into a blessing. ³ And so be it, when they hear the torah, they separate all the mongrels from Yisra El: ⁴ and at the face of this, El Yashib the priest gives the oversight of the chamber of the house of our Elohim to one near to Tobi Yah: ⁵ and he works himself a great chamber where they formerly gave the offerings - the frankincense and the instruments and the tithes of the crop - the juice and the oil the misvah of the Leviym and the singers and the porters; and the exaltments of the priests. ⁶ And in all this, I am not at Yeru Shalem: for in the thirty-second year of Artach Shashta sovereign of Babel I come to the sovereign; and at the end of days I ask of the sovereign: ⁷ and I come to Yeru Shalem and discern the evil El Yashib works to Tobi Yah - in working him a chamber in the courts of the house of Elohim: ⁸ and it is mighty evil to me: and I cast out all the household instruments to Tobi Yah from the chamber. ⁹ Then I say - and they purify the chambers: and I bring again the instruments of the house of Elohim with the offering and the frankincense: ¹⁰ and I perceive that the allotments of the Leviym have not been given them: for the Leviym and the singers who work the work flee - each man to his field. ¹¹ Then I contend with the prefects and say, Why is the house of Elohim forsaken? - and I gather them and stand them in their station. ¹² And all Yah Hudah brings the tithe of the crop and the juice and the oil to the treasuries. ¹³ And treasurers over the treasuries: Shelem Yah the priest and Sadoq the scribe and Pedah Yah of the Leviym; and at their hand: Hanan the son of Zakkur the son of Mattan Yah; for they are fabricated as amenable and their office is to allot to their brothers. ¹⁴ Remember me, O my Elohim, concerning this; and wipe not out the mercies I worked for the house of my Elohim and for its underguard. ¹⁵ In those days in Yah Hudah I see them treading wine presses on the shabbath - and bringing in heaps and lading he burros and also wine, grapes and figs and all the burdens they bring into Yeru Shalem on the shabbath day: and I witness the day they sell hunt: ¹⁶ and the Soriy settle therein bringing fish and all manner of price and sell on the shabbath to the sons of Yah Hudah and in Yeru Shalem. ¹⁷ And I contend with the nobles of Yah Hudah and say to them, What evil word is this that you work and profane the shabbath day? ¹⁸ Worked not your fathers thus and brought not our Elohim all this evil on us and on this city? And you add fuming on Yisra El by profaning the shabbath. ¹⁹ And so be it, the portals of Yeru Shalem begin to overshadow at the face of the shabbath, and I say to shut the gates and say to not open until after the shabbath: and I stand my lads at the portals, that no burden is brought in on the shabbath day. ²⁰ And the merchants and sellers of all sales stay overnight outside Yeru Shalem one time or twice. ²¹ And I witness against them and say to them, Why stay you overnight opposite the wall? If you repeat, I spread hands on you. - from that time they come not on the shabbath. ²² And I say to the Leviym to purify and to come and guard the portals to hallow the shabbath day. Remember me, O my Elohim, this also; and spare me according to the greatness of your mercy. ²³ Also in those days I see that the Yah Hudiym settle with women of Ashdodiy, of Ammoniy and of Moabiy: ²⁴ and their sons word half in the speech of Ashdod and recognize not to word in Yah Hudaic, but according to the language of people by people. ²⁵ And I contend with them and abase them and smite men of them and balden them and have them oath by Elohim, saying, Neither give your daughters to their sons nor bear their daughters to your sons or for yourselves. ²⁶ Shelomoh sovereign of Yisra El - sinned he not by these? Yet among many goyim there is no sovereign like him - beloved of his Elohim; and Elohim gave him sovereign over all Yisra El: and strange women caused even him to sin. ²⁷ And hearken we to you to work all this great evil - to treason against our Elohim in settling with strange women? ²⁸ And of the sons of Yah Yada, the son of El Yashib the great priest is son in law to Sanballat the Horoniy: and I flee him from me. ²⁹ Remember them, O my Elohim, because they profane the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Leviym. ³⁰ Thus I purify them from all strangers and station the guards of the priests and the Leviym - each man in his work; ³¹ and for the qorban of timber, at times appointed, and for the firstlings. Remember me, O my Elohim, for good.

³⁸ and a great rabble also ascends with them; and flocks and oxen - mighty heavy chattel:

⁸ Remember the shabbath day, to hallow it: ⁹ six days you serve and work all your work: ¹⁰ but the seventh day is the shabbath of Yah Veh your Elohim: work no work therein; neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your maid, nor your animals, nor your sojourner within your portals: ¹¹ for in six days Yah Veh worked the heavens and earth, the sea and all therein; and rested the seventh day: so Yah Veh blessed the shabbath day and hallowed it.

¹² Six days work your work and on the seventh day shabbathize: so that your ox and your he burro rest and the son of your maid and the sojourner refresh.

¹⁴ guard the shabbath; for it is holy to you: everyone who profanes it, in deathifiying, is deathified: for whoever works any work therein, that soul becomes cut off from among his people. ¹⁵ Six days you work your work; the seventh day is the shabbath of shabbathism - holy to Yah Veh: whoever works any work in the shabbath day, in deathifiying, deathify him. ¹⁶ And the sons of Yisra El guard the shabbath, to work the shabbath throughout their generations, for an eternal covenant ¹⁷ - a sign between me and between the sons of Yisra El eternally: for in six days Yah Veh worked the heavens and earth and on the seventh day he shabbathized and refreshed.

THE MOLTEN CALF
And the people see that Mosheh delays descending from the mount: and the people congregate to Aharon and say to him, Rise, work us elohim to go at our face; for as for this Mosheh, the man who ascended us from the land of Misrayim, we know not what became of him.

¹⁶ and you take of their daughters to your sons and their daughters whore after their elohim and make your sons whore after their elohim.

²¹ Six days you serve, but on the seventh day you shabbathize - in ploughing and in harvest, you shabbathize:

² Six days work the work, but the seventh day becomes to you a holy - a shabbath of shabbathism to Yah Veh: deathify whoever works any work therein:

¹
THE PRIESTHOOD
And Yah Veh says unto Mosheh, Say unto the priests the sons of Aharon, and say to them, No one fouls himself for a soul among his people ² except for his kinflesh who is near unto him - for his mother and for his father and for his son and for his daughter and for his brother ³ and for his virgin sister near him who has no man; for her he fouls. ⁴ No master fouls himself among his people to profane himself: ⁵ they neither balden their head nor shave the edge of their beard, nor incise any incisions in their flesh. ⁶ They are holy to their Elohim and profane not the name of their Elohim: for the firings unto Yah Veh and the bread of their Elohim, they oblate: so they are holy. ⁷ They neither take a woman whore or profane nor take they a woman expelled from her man: for he is holy unto his Elohim.

²² And when you harvest the harvest of your land, neither finish off the edges of your field when you harvest, nor glean any gleaning of your harvest: leave them to the humbled and to the sojourner: I - Yah Veh your Elohim.

³² It is a shabbath of shabbathism to you to humble your souls: in the ninth of the month, at evening, from evening to evening, shabbathize your shabbath.

¹⁸ And if you yet for all this hearken not to me I add to discipline you seven times for your sins:

²⁸ then I also walk contrary to you in fury; and I - yes, I discipline you seven for your sins:

³⁰ And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, becomes to Yah Veh - holy to Yah Veh.

SONS OF YISRA EL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE MANNA
And the gathering in their midst desires a desire: and the sons of Yisra El turn to weep and say, Who feeds us flesh?

³² And the sons of Yisra El are in the wilderness, and they find a man gathering timber on the shabbath day: ³³ and they who find him gathering timber have him approach Mosheh and Aharon and all the witness: ³⁴ and they set him under guard, because it is not expressed what to work to him. ³⁵ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, In deathifying, deathify the man: have all the witness stone him with stones outside the camp. ³⁶ And all the witness brings him outside the camp and stones him with stones and he dies - as Yah Veh misvahs Mosheh.

⁹ seems it but petty to you, that Elohim of Yisra El separated you from the witness of Yisra El to oblate you to himself - to serve the service of the tabernacle of Yah Veh and to stand at the face of the witness to minister to them? ¹⁰ Yes, he has you approach him - you and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you - and seek you the priesthood also?

²⁰ And Yah Veh says to Aharon, You neither inherit their land nor have any allotment among them: I - your allotment and your inheritance among the sons of Yisra El. ²¹ And behold, I give the sons of Levi all the tenth in Yisra El - an inheritance in exchange for the service they serve - even the service of the tent of the congregation.

²¹ And behold, I give the sons of Levi all the tenth in Yisra El - an inheritance in exchange for the service they serve - even the service of the tent of the congregation. ²² And the sons of Yisra El never again approach the tent of the congregation, lest they bear sin and die:

²² And the sons of Yisra El never again approach the tent of the congregation, lest they bear sin and die: ²³ and the Leviym serve the service of the tent of the congregation and they bear their perversity - an eternal statute throughout your generations: that among the sons of Yisra El they inherit no inheritance.

²³ and the Leviym serve the service of the tent of the congregation and they bear their perversity - an eternal statute throughout your generations: that among the sons of Yisra El they inherit no inheritance. ²⁴ But the tithes of the sons of Yisra El, which they exalt as an exaltment to Yah Veh, I give to the Leviym to inherit: so I say to them, Among the sons of Yisra El, they inherit no inheritance.

²⁴ But the tithes of the sons of Yisra El, which they exalt as an exaltment to Yah Veh, I give to the Leviym to inherit: so I say to them, Among the sons of Yisra El, they inherit no inheritance. ²⁵ And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, ²⁶ Thus word to the Leviym, and say to them, When you take the tithes of the sons of Yisra El which I give you for your inheritance, then exalt an exaltment thereof to Yah Veh, a tithe of the tithe:

³ And Moab is mighty afraid at the face of the people, because they are many: and Moab abhors the face of the sons of Yisra El. ⁴ And Moab says to the elders of Midyan, Now this congregation licks up all who are all around us as the ox licks the green of the field. And Balaq the son of Sippor is sovereign of Moab at that time. ⁵ He sends angels to Bilam the son of Beor to Pethor, by the river of the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people comes from Misrayim: and behold, they cover the eye of the earth and they settle in front of me: ⁶ go now therefore, I beseech you, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: perhaps I prevail to smite them - to drive them from the land: for I know that whom you bless is blessed and whom you curse is cursed. ⁷ And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midyan go with the divination in their hand; and they come to Bilam and word the words of Balaq to him. ⁸ And he says to them, Stay here overnight and I return word to you as Yah Veh words to me. - and the governors of Moab settle with Bilam. ⁹ And Elohim comes to Bilam and says, Who are these men with you? ¹⁰ And Bilam says to Elohim, Balaq the son of Sippor sovereign of Moab sends for me: ¹¹ behold, a people comes from Misrayim, who cover the eye of the earth: go now, curse them for me; perhaps I prevail to fight them and expel them.

⁸ How pierce I whom El curses not? Or how enrage I whom Yah Veh enrages not? ⁹ For from the top of the rocks I see him and from the hills I observe him: behold, the people tabernacle alone and are not fabricated among the goyim. ¹⁰ Who numbers the dust of Yaaqov? And the number of the fourth of Yisra El? Let my soul die the death of the straight and let my finality be like his! ¹¹ And Balaq says to Bilam, What work you to me? I take you to curse my enemies; and behold, in blessing, you bless them.

¹⁸ And he takes up his proverb and says, Rise, Balaq and hear! Hearken to me, you son of Sippor!

⁵ How goodly your tents, O Yaaqov and your tabernacles, O Yisra El! ⁶ As the wadies they spread, as gardens by the side of the river as the aloes Yah Veh plants and as cedar trees beside the waters. ⁷ He flows the water from his pails and his seed is in many waters: and his sovereign is more exalted than Agag and his sovereigndom becomes exalted. ⁸ El brings him from Misrayim; he has as strength of a reem: he eats the goyim his tribulators and craunches their bones and strikes with his arrows. ⁹ He kneels, he lies down as a lion - as a roaring lion - who rouses him? Blessed, he who blesses you and cursed, he who curses you. ¹⁰ And Balaq kindles his wrath against Bilam and he claps his palms together: and Balaq says to Bilam, I call you to curse my enemies, and behold, in blessing, you bless them these three times.

¹² So say, Behold, I give him my covenant of shalom: ¹³ and he and his seed after him - even the covenant of an eternal priesthood; because he envies for his Elohim and kapars/atones for the sons of Yisra El.

¹⁴ And behold, you rise in the stead of your fathers - an abundance of sinful men, to scrape together yet the fuming wrath of Yah Veh toward Yisra El.

² Misvah the sons of Yisra El, to give the Leviym cities to settle for the inheritance of their possession: and also give the Leviym suburbs for the cities all around them:

¹² Guard the shabbath day to hallow it, as Yah Veh your Elohim misvahed you.

¹² Guard the shabbath day to hallow it, as Yah Veh your Elohim misvahed you. ¹³ Six days you serve and work all your work: ¹⁴ but the seventh day is the shabbath of Yah Veh your Elohim: never work any work therein, - you, your son, your daughter, your servant, your maid, your ox, your he burro, your animals, your sojourner within your portals; that your servant and your maid rest as well as you.

¹⁴ but the seventh day is the shabbath of Yah Veh your Elohim: never work any work therein, - you, your son, your daughter, your servant, your maid, your ox, your he burro, your animals, your sojourner within your portals; that your servant and your maid rest as well as you.

¹³ Awe Yah Veh your Elohim and serve him and oath by his name:

³ neither intermarry with them; nor give your daughter to his son, nor take his daughter to your son.

¹⁹ And so be it, if in forgetting, you forget Yah Veh your Elohim and walk after other elohim and serve them and prostrate to them, I witness against you this day that in destructing, you destruct.

¹⁹ Guard to not forsake the Leviy all your days on the soil.

²²
THE TORAH ON TITHING In tithing, tithe all the produce of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year:

³ an Ammoniy or Moabiy enters not to the congregation of Yah Veh - even to their tenth generation enter not to the congregation of Yah Veh eternally: ⁴ for word that they anticipated you not with bread and with water in the way, when you came from Misrayim; and because they hired Bilam the son of Beor of Pethor of Aram Naharaim against you to abase you: ⁵ and Yah Veh your Elohim willed to not hearken to Bilam; but Yah Veh your Elohim turned the abasement to a blessing to you, because Yah Veh your Elohim loved you:

⁵ and Yah Veh your Elohim willed to not hearken to Bilam; but Yah Veh your Elohim turned the abasement to a blessing to you, because Yah Veh your Elohim loved you:

² and so be it, if the wicked son becomes smitten, that the judge has him fall and someone smites him at his face, sufficient according to his wickedness by a certain number ³ - forty smites and add not: lest, if he add and smite him above these with many strokes, then your brother becomes abased in your eyes.

¹⁴ And the Leviym answer with lifted voice and say to all the men of Yisra El, ¹⁵ Cursed is the man who works any sculptile or molten - an abhorrence to Yah Veh the work of the hands of the engraver, and puts it in a hideout. And all the people answer, and say, Amen! ¹⁶ Cursed he who is abased by his father or his mother. - and all the people say, Amen. ¹⁷ Cursed he who removes the border of his friend. - and all the people say, Amen. ¹⁸ Cursed he who causes the blind to err inadvertently from the way. - and all the people say, Amen. ¹⁹ Cursed he who deviates the judgment of the sojourner, orphan and widow. - and all the people say, Amen. ²⁰ Cursed he who lies with the woman of his father; because he exposes the border of his father. - and all the people say, Amen. ²¹ Cursed he who lies with any animal. - and all the people say, Amen. ²² Cursed he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother. - and all the people say, Amen. ²³ Cursed he who lies with his in law. - and all the people say, Amen. ²⁴ Cursed he who covertly smites his friend. - and all the people say, Amen. ²⁵ Cursed he who takes a bribe to smite an innocent soul. - and all the people say, Amen. ²⁶ Cursed he who raises not all the words of this torah to work them. - and all the people say, Amen.

¹¹ - when all Yisra El comes to be seen at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim in the place he chooses, recall this torah in front of all Yisra El in their ears. ¹² Congregate the people - men and women and toddlers and the sojourner inside your portals, to hear and to learn and to awe Yah Veh your Elohim and guard to work all the words of this torah:

¹⁷ Is the perversity of Peor too little for us from which we are not purified until this day - a plague in the witness of Yah Veh ¹⁸ to turn away this day from after Yah Veh? And so be it, today you rebel against Yah Veh; and tomorrow he enrages with the whole witness of Yisra El.

⁹ And Balaq the son of Sippor sovereign of Moab rose and fought against Yisra El and sent and called Bilam the son of Beor to abase you; ¹⁰ but I willed to not hearken to Bilam: and in blessing, he blessed you: thus I delivered you from his hand.

¹⁷ Wherefore the sin of the lads is mighty great at the face of Yah Veh: because men scorn the offering of Yah Veh.

³⁰ So - an oracle of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El In saying, I say, that your house and the house of your father walk at my face eternally: and now - an oracle of Yah Veh far be it from me; for they who honor me, I honor; and they who despise me, I abase.

¹
THE ARK REMOVED
And the Peleshethiy take the ark of Elohim and bring it from Eben Ezer to Ashdod:

²⁴ And who hearkens to you in this word? but as his allotment, who descends to the war, thus his allotment, who settles by his instruments - they allot unitedly.

²⁴
THE BIRTH OF SHELOMOH
And David sighs over Bath Sheba his woman and goes in to her and lies down with her; and she births a son and he calls his name Shelomoh: and Yah Veh loves him: ²⁵ and he sends by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he calls his name Yedid Yah, because of Yah Veh.

¹³ and I also give you what you ask not - both riches and honor: so that there be no man among the sovereigns as you all your days:

¹
THE WOMEN OF SHELOMOH
And sovereign Shelomoh loves many strange women together with the daughter of Paroh: women of the Moabiy, Ammoniy, Edomiy, Sidoniy and Hethiy, ² of the goyim - of which Yah Veh says to the sons of Yisra El, Neither go in to them, nor them come in to you: for surely they pervert your heart after their elohim - Shelomoh adheres to these in love: ³ and he has seven hundred women governesses and three hundred concubines: and his women pervert his heart. ⁴ And so be it, at the time Shelomoh ages, his women pervert his heart after other elohim: and his heart is not at shalom with Yah Veh his Elohim as the heart of David his father: ⁵ and Shelomoh goes after Ashtoreth the elohim of the Sidoniy; and after Milchom the abomination of the Ammoniy: ⁶ and Shelomoh works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh and fulfills not after Yah Veh as David his father. ⁷ Then Shelomoh builds a bamah for Kemosh the abomination of Moab in the mountain at the face of Yeru Shalem; and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon: ⁸ and thus he works for all his strange women who incense and sacrifice to their elohim:

¹⁵ And they fabricate not with the men into whose hand they give the silver to give to them who do the work: for they work trustworthily.

⁷ only, fabricate not with them the silver given into their hand because they work trustworthily.

² and the sovereign ascends into the house of Yah Veh with all the men of Yah Hudah and all the settlers of Yeru Shalem and the priests and the prophets and all the people both small and great: and he calls out in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant found in the house of Yah Veh:

¹² and says to them, You are the heads of the fathers of the Leviym: hallow yourselves - you and your brothers to ascend the ark of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to the place I prepared for it: ¹³ because you did it not at the first Yah Veh our Elohim breached a breach on us because we sought him not after the judgment. ¹⁴ And the priests and the Leviym hallow themselves to ascend the ark of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El:

¹
DAVID HAS SHELOMOH REIGN OVER YISRA EL
And David ages, satisfied of days; and he has Shelomoh his son reign over Yisra El: ² and he gathers all the governors of Yisra El, with the priests and the Leviym. ³
SCRIBING THE LEVIYM
And they scribe the Leviym from sons of thirty years and upward: and their number per cranium - mighty by mighty, is thirty-eight thousand. ⁴ Of these, to oversee the work of the house of Yah Veh: twenty-four thousand: and six thousand officers and judges: ⁵ and four thousand porters; and four thousand to halal Yah Veh with the instruments I worked to halal. ⁶
ALLOTMENTS OF THE SONS OF LEVI
And David allots them allotments of the sons of Levi: Gershon, Qehath and Merari. ⁷
SCRIBING THE GERSHONIY
Of the Gershoniy: Ladan and Shimi. ⁸ The sons of Ladan: the head is Yechi El and Zetham and Yah El - three. ⁹ The sons of Shimi: Shelomoth and Hazi El and Haran - three. - these are the head of the fathers of Ladan. ¹⁰ And the sons of Shimi: Yachath, Zina and Yeush and Beriah. - these are the sons of Shimi - four. ¹¹ And Yachath is the head and Zizah the second: but Yeush and Beriah abound no sons; so they are in one mustering, according to the house of their father. ¹²
SCRIBING THE SONS OF QEHATH
The sons of Qehath: Am Ram, Yishar, Hebron and Uzzi El - four. ¹³ The sons of Am Ram: Aharon and Mosheh; and Aharon is separated to hallow the Holy of Holies - he and his sons eternally to incense at the face of Yah Veh to minister to him and to bless in his name eternally. ¹⁴ As for Mosheh the man of Elohim, his sons are called of the scion of Levi. ¹⁵ The sons of Mosheh: Gershom and Eli Ezer. ¹⁶ Of the sons of Gershom: Shebu El, the head. ¹⁷ And the sons of Eli Ezer: Rechab Yah the head. And Eli Ezer has no other sons: and the sons of Rechab Yah abound above. ¹⁸ Of the sons of Yishar: Shelomith the head. ¹⁹ Of the sons of Hebron: Yeri Yah the head, Amar Yah the second, Yachazi El the third and Yeqam Am the fourth. ²⁰ Of the sons of Uzzi El: Michah Yah the head and Yishshi Yah the second. ²¹
SCRIBING THE SONS OF MERARI
The sons of Merari: Machli and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El Azar and Qish; ²² and El Azar dies and has no sons, but daughters; and their brothers the sons of Qish lift them. ²³ The sons of Mushi: Machli and Eder and Yeremoth - three. ²⁴
THE NEW SERVICE OF THE LEVIYM
These are the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers - the head of the fathers, as they are mustered by number of names per cranium; who work the work for the service of the house of Yah Veh, from sons of twenty years and upward. ²⁵ For David says, Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El rests his people, to tabernacle in Yeru Shalem eternally: ²⁶ and also of the Leviym; they neither bear the tabernacle, nor any instruments thereof for the service thereof:

³ And again, because I am pleased in the house of my Elohim, I have of my own peculiar treasure - of gold and silver, which I give to the house of my Elohim over and above all I prepared for the holy house:

¹² wisdom and knowledge are given you; and I give you riches and holdings and honor such as neither became sovereigns at your face, nor becomes after you.

²² And sovereign Shelomoh greatens above all the sovereigns of the earth in riches and wisdom:

¹² and they enter a covenant to seek Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; ¹³ and deathify whoever seeks not Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El - from small or great - from man or woman: ¹⁴ and they oath to Yah Veh with a great voice and with shouting and with trumpets and with shophars. ¹⁵ And all Yah Hudah cheers at the oath: for they oath with all their heart and seek him with their whole pleasure; and they find him: and Yah Veh rests them all around.

¹⁶ and they entomb him among the sovereigns in the city of David because he worked good in Yisra El - both toward Elohim and toward his house. ¹⁷ And after the death of Yah Yada the governors of Yah Hudah come and prostrate to the sovereign: then the sovereign hearkens to them: ¹⁸ and they forsake the house of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers and serve asherim and idols; and rage comes upon Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem for this their guilt: ¹⁹ and he sends prophets among them to return them to Yah Veh: and they witness against them; but they hearken not.

⁴ and he brings in the priests and the Leviym; and gathers them in the broadway toward the rising, ⁵ and says to them, Hear me, you Leviym, now hallow yourselves and hallow the house of Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; and bring the exclusion from the holies.

⁵ and says to them, Hear me, you Leviym, now hallow yourselves and hallow the house of Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; and bring the exclusion from the holies.

¹⁵ - and they gather their brothers and hallow themselves and come, according to the misvah of the sovereign by the words of Yah Veh to purify the house of Yah Veh. ¹⁶ And the priests go inside the house of Yah Veh to purify it; and bring out all the foulness they find in the manse of Yah Veh into the court of the house of Yah Veh. - and the Leviym take it to bring it to the wadi Qidron. ¹⁷ And on the first of the first month they begin to hallow; and on the eighth day of the month they come to the porch of Yah Veh: thus they hallow the house of Yah Veh in eight days; and finish in the sixteenth day of the first month. ¹⁸ And they come in to Yechizqi Yah the sovereign and say, We purified all the house of Yah Veh and the sacrifice altar of holocaust with all its instruments; and the arrangement table with all its instruments: ¹⁹ and all the instruments sovereign Achaz in his sovereigndom abandoned in his treason we prepared and hallowed; and behold, they are at the face of the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh.

²⁴ and the priests slaughter them for the sin with their blood on the sacrifice altar, to kapar/atone for all Yisra El: for the sovereign says that the holocaust and that for the sin is for all Yisra El.

²⁷ And Yechizqi Yah says to holocaust the holocaust on the sacrifice altar: and at the time the holocaust begins the song of Yah Veh begins with the trumpets by the hand of the instruments of David sovereign of Yisra El:

³⁰ and Yechizqi Yah the sovereign and the governors say to the Leviym to halal to Yah Veh with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. And they halal with cheerfulness and bow and prostrate.

¹² and they trustworthily bring the exaltments and the tithes and the holies over which Konan Yah the Leviy is eminent and Shimi his brother is the second. ¹³ And Yechi El and Azaz Yah and Nachath and Asa El and Yerimoth and Yah Zabad and Eli El and Yismach Yah and Machath and Bena Yah are overseers under the hand of Konan Yah and Shimi his brother - at the mandate of Yechizqi Yah the sovereign and Azar Yah the eminent of the house of Elohim. ¹⁴ And Qore the son of Yimlah the Leviy the porter toward the rising, is over the voluntaries of Elohim - to give the exaltments of Yah Veh and the holies. ¹⁵ And at his hand: Eden and Min Yamin and Yah Shua and Shema Yah, Amar Yah and Shechan Yah in the cities of the priests, in their trust, to give to their brothers by allotments, as well to the great as to the small:

²⁰ And thus Yechizqi Yah works throughout all Yah Hudah; and works good and straight and truth at the face of Yah Veh his Elohim: ²¹ and in every work he begins in the service of the house of Elohim and in the torah and in the misvoth - to seek his Elohim he works with all his heart and prospers.

¹¹ and they give it to the artificers and builders to chattel hewn stone and timber for joints and to beam the houses the sovereigns of Yah Hudah ruined.

²² and work the celebration of matsah seven days with cheer: for Yah Veh cheers them and turns the heart of the sovereign of Ashshur unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of Elohim, the Elohim of Yisra El.

²⁰ and the rest of the needs for the house of your Elah whatever befalls you to give - give from the treasure house of the sovereign.

²⁴ And we have you know, as for the priests and Leviym, pluckers, portal guards, Dedicates, or servers of this house of Elah, it is not permissible to assess tribute or custom on them.

²⁶ And whoever serves not the edict of your Elah and the edict of the sovereign, serve the penalty diligently - whether to death, whether to uproot, whether to confiscate holdings, whether to bonds. ²⁷ Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of our fathers who gives such as this in the heart of the sovereign, to adorn the house of Yah Veh in Yeru Shalem:

THE PRAYER OF EZRA CONCERNING INTERMINGLING
And they finish these and the governors come near me, saying, The people of Yisra El and the priests and the Leviym separate not themselves from the people of the lands according to the abhorrences of the Kenaaniy, the Hethiy, the Perizziy, the Yebusiy, the Ammoniy, the Moabiy, the Misrayim and the Emoriy:

And they finish these and the governors come near me, saying, The people of Yisra El and the priests and the Leviym separate not themselves from the people of the lands according to the abhorrences of the Kenaaniy, the Hethiy, the Perizziy, the Yebusiy, the Ammoniy, the Moabiy, the Misrayim and the Emoriy: ² for they spare their daughters for themselves and for their sons: so that the holy seed mingles with the people of those lands: yes, the hand of the governors and prefects are heads in this treason. ³ And I hear this word and I rip my clothes and my mantle and balden the hair of my head and of my beard, and sit down astonished. ⁴ and every one who trembles at the words of Elohim of Yisra El gathers to me; because of the treason of those who were exiled; and I sat astonished until the evening offering.

¹¹ which you misvahed by the hand of your servants the prophets, saying, The land you go to possess, is a land of exclusion of the people of the lands with their abhorrences who filled it from mouth to mouth with their foulness. ¹² And now, neither give your daughters to their sons, nor bear their daughters to your sons, nor seek their shalom or their goodness eternally: that you strengthen and eat the good of the land for your sons to possess eternally. ¹³ And after all that comes upon us for our evil works and for our great guilt - seeing that you our Elohim; spare us from our downward perversities, and give us such an escape as this ¹⁴ - return we to break your misvoth and intermarry with the people of these abhorrences? Are you not angry with us - to finish us off so that there is neither survivor nor escapee? ¹⁵ O Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, you are just: for we survive yet escaped as it is this day: behold, we are at your face in our guilt: for no one stands at your face because of this.

¹
A MIGHTY CONGREGATION WEEPS
And Ezra prays and spreads hands - weeping and falling at the face of the house of Elohim: a mighty great congregation from Yisra El - men and women and children gather to him: for in weeping, the people weep aboundingly. ² And Shechan Yah the son of Yechi El of the sons of Elam, answers and says to Ezra, We - we treason against our Elohim and settle strange women of the people of the land: and now there is expectation in Yisra El concerning this:

⁵ And Ezra rises and oaths the governors of the priests, the Leviym and all Yisra El to work according to this word: and they oath.

¹⁰ And Ezra the priest rises and says to them, You - you treason and settle strange women to add to the guilt of Yisra El: ¹¹ and now give spread hands to Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; and work his pleasure and separate yourselves from the people of the land and from the strange women.

⁴⁴ All these bear strange women: and of them, women who set sons.

ARTACH SHASHTA SENDS NECHEM YAH TO YERU SHALEM
And so be it, in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artach Shashta the sovereign, wine is at his face: and I lift the wine and give it to the sovereign - and I had never been evil to his face.

⁵ and I say to the sovereign, If it be good with the sovereign and if your servant well-pleases at your face, send me to Yah Hudah - to the city of the tombs of my fathers - to build it. ⁶ And the sovereign says to me, - and the mistress settles by him, How long is your walk? And when return you? - and it is good at the face of the sovereign to send me; and I give him an appointment.

¹⁰ And Sanballat the Horoniy and Tobi Yah the servant - the Ammoniy, hear of it, and in being evil, it is evil to them for a human to come to seek the good of the sons of Yisra El.

¹⁹ And Sanballat the Horoniy and Tobi Yah the servant the Ammoniy and Geshem the Arabiy hear; and they deride us and despise us and say, What is this word you work? Rebel you against the sovereign?

¹
THE BUILDERS OF THE WALL
And El Yashib the great priest rises with his brothers the priests and they build the flock portal; they hallow it and stand its doors - hallow it even to the tower of Meah to the tower of Hanan El:

³⁰ after him: Hanan Yah the son of Shelem Yah and Hanun the sixth son of Salaph strengthen a second measure; after him: Meshullam the son of Berech Yah strengthens over against his chamber;

³ And Tobi Yah the Ammoniy is by him, and he says, Whatever they build, if a fox ascends, even he splits their stone wall.

⁷ And so be it, Sanballat and Tobi Yah and the Arabiy and the Ammoniy and the Ashdodiy hear the walls of Yeru Shalem are ascended and the breaches begin to stop; and they inflame mightily;

⁶ And I inflame mightily when I hear their cry and these words: ⁷ and my heart reigns over me and I contend with the nobles and the prefects, and say to them, You bear interest - each man of his brother: and I give a great congregation against them.

⁷ and my heart reigns over me and I contend with the nobles and the prefects, and say to them, You bear interest - each man of his brother: and I give a great congregation against them. ⁸ And I say to them, With our ability we chatteled our brothers the Yah Hudiym who were sold to the goyim; And you, sell your brothers? - sell to us? - and they hush and find no word. ⁹ And I say, The word you work is not good: ought you not to walk in the awe of our Elohim because of the reproach of the goyim our enemies? ¹⁰ And also I - and my brothers and my lads, exact silver and crop of them: I beseech you, leave off this interest: ¹¹ restore to them, I beseech you, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards and their houses, silver to the hundredth, and of the crop, the juice and the oil, you exacted of them. ¹² And they say, We restore them and seek naught of them; thus we work as you say. And I call the priests and oath them to work according to this word: ¹³ and I shake my bosom and say, Thus may Elohim shake every man from his house and from his labor who raises not this word - even thus be he shaken out and emptied. And all the congregation says, Amen! - and halals Yah Veh; and the people work according to this word.

¹³ and I shake my bosom and say, Thus may Elohim shake every man from his house and from his labor who raises not this word - even thus be he shaken out and emptied. And all the congregation says, Amen! - and halals Yah Veh; and the people work according to this word. ¹⁴ Also from the day he misvahed me to be their governor in the land of Yah Hudah - from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of Artach Shashta the sovereign - twelve years, I and my brothers eat not the bread of the governor:

¹⁹ Remember on me, my Elohim, for good, according to all I work for this people.

¹⁴ My Elohim, remember on Tobi Yah and Sanballat according to these their works; and on the prophetess Noad Yah and the rest of the prophets that they awe me.

¹⁷ Also in those days the nobles of Yah Hudah abound passing their epistles to Tobi Yah; and they of Tobi Yah come to them.

¹⁷ Also in those days the nobles of Yah Hudah abound passing their epistles to Tobi Yah; and they of Tobi Yah come to them. ¹⁸ For many masters in Yah Hudah oath to him because he is the son in law of Shechan Yah the son of Arach; and his son Yah Hanan took the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berech Yah.

¹⁸ For many masters in Yah Hudah oath to him because he is the son in law of Shechan Yah the son of Arach; and his son Yah Hanan took the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berech Yah. ¹⁹ Also they say his good deeds at my face and bring my words to him. And Tobi Yah sends epistles so that I awe.

² and I misvah my brother Hanani and Hanan Yah the governor of the palace concerning Yeru Shalem: for he is a man of truth and awes Elohim above many. ³ And I say to them, Open not the portals of Yeru Shalem until the heat of the sun. And they stand by, and shut the doors and hold them; and stand guards of the settlers of Yeru Shalem, - each man in his underguard - each man over against his house.

⁶⁴ these sought their inscribings among the genealogized but found them not: and they are profaned from the priesthood. ⁶⁵ And the governor says to them, to not eat of the Holy of Holies, until a priest stands with Urim and Thummim.

³ And he calls out therein at the face of the broadway at the face of the water portal from the light until midday; in front of the men and the women and all who discern; and the ears of all the people to the scroll of the torah. ⁴ And Ezra the scribe stands on a tower of timber they worked for the word; and Mattith Yah stands beside him; and Shema and Ana Yah and Uri Yah and Hilqi Yah and Maase Yah, on his right; Malki Yah and Hashum and Hashbad Danah, Zechar Yah and Meshullam.

⁴ And Ezra the scribe stands on a tower of timber they worked for the word; and Mattith Yah stands beside him; and Shema and Ana Yah and Uri Yah and Hilqi Yah and Maase Yah, on his right; Malki Yah and Hashum and Hashbad Danah, Zechar Yah and Meshullam. ⁵ And Ezra opens the scroll in the eyes of all the people - he being above all the people and he opens it and all the people stand: ⁶ and Ezra blesses Yah Veh the great Elohim. And all the people answer, Amen! Amen! - they raise their hands and they bow their heads and prostrate to Yah Veh with their nostrils to the earth. ⁷ And Yah Shua and Bani and Shereb Yah, Yamin, Aqqub, Shabbethay, Hodi Yah, Maase Yah, Qelita, Azar Yah, Yah Zabad, Hanan, Pela Yah and the Leviym, have the people discern the torah: and the people are in their station: ⁸ and they call out in the scroll in the torah of Elohim expressly and set the comprehension and have them discern the convocation.

² and the seed of Yisra El separate from all sons of strangers; and stand and spread hands for their sins and the perversities of their fathers: ³ and they rise in their station and call out in the scroll of the torah of Yah Veh their Elohim a fourth of the day; and a fourth they spread hands and prostrate to Yah Veh their Elohim.

²⁹ and witnessed against them to return them to your torah: and they seethe and hearken not to your misvoth; but sin against your judgments - which if a human work, he lives in them; and they gave a revolting shoulder and hardened their neck and hearkened not:

¹² Zakkur, Shereb Yah, Sheban Yah,

²⁸ and the survivors of the people, the priests, the Leviym, the porters, the singers, the Dedicates and all who separate themselves from the people of the lands to the torah of Elohim - their women, their sons and their daughters, every one who knows and discerns; ²⁹ hold on to their brothers - their mighty and oath an oath to walk in the torah of Elohim given by the hand of Mosheh the servant of Elohim; and to guard and work all the misvoth of Yah Veh our Adonay and his judgments and his statutes; ³⁰ and neither give our daughters to the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:

³⁰ and neither give our daughters to the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons: ³¹ and if the people of the land bring merchandises or any kernels on the shabbath day to sell, that we not take it of them on the shabbath or on the holy day: and that we leave the seventh year and the burden of every hand.

³⁴ And we fell the pebbles among the priests, the Leviym and the people for the qorban of timber; to bring to the house of our Elohim, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn on the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh our Elohim as inscribed in the torah:

³⁷ and bring the firstlings of our dough and our exaltments and the fruit of all manner of trees - of juice and of oil to the priests - to the chambers of the house of our Elohim; and the tithes of our soil to the Leviym, that the Leviym have the tithes in all the cities of our service:

³⁷ and bring the firstlings of our dough and our exaltments and the fruit of all manner of trees - of juice and of oil to the priests - to the chambers of the house of our Elohim; and the tithes of our soil to the Leviym, that the Leviym have the tithes in all the cities of our service: ³⁸ that the priest the son of Aharon be with the Leviym when the Leviym take tithes: and the Leviym ascend the tithe of the tithes to the house of our Elohim - to the chambers - to the treasure house;

³⁸ that the priest the son of Aharon be with the Leviym when the Leviym take tithes: and the Leviym ascend the tithe of the tithes to the house of our Elohim - to the chambers - to the treasure house; ³⁹ for the sons of Yisra El and the sons of Levi bring the exaltment of the crop of the juice and the oil to the chambers to the instruments of the holies - to the priests who minister and the porters and the singers: and not forsake the house of our Elohim.

³⁹ for the sons of Yisra El and the sons of Levi bring the exaltment of the crop of the juice and the oil to the chambers to the instruments of the holies - to the priests who minister and the porters and the singers: and not forsake the house of our Elohim.

²² and the overseer of the Leviym at Yeru Shalem: Uzzi the son of Bani the son of Hashab Yah the son of Mattan Yah the son of Michah Yah; of the sons of Asaph: the singers are in front of the work of the house of Elohim;

¹
THE PRIESTS AND LEVIYM WHO SETTLE YERU SHALEM
And these are the priests and the Leviym who ascend with Zerub Babel the son of Shealti El and Yah Shua: Sera Yah, Yirme Yah, Ezra, ² Amar Yah, Malluch, Hattush, ³ Shechan Yah, Rechum, Meremoth, ⁴ Iddo, Ginnetho, Abi Yah, ⁵ Mi Yamin, Maad Yah, Bilgah, ⁶ Shema Yah and Yah Yarib, Yeda Yah, ⁷ Sallu, Amoq, Hilqi Yah, Yeda Yah - these are the heads of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Yah Shua. ⁸ And the Leviym: Yah Shua, Binnuy, Qadmi El, Shereb Yah, Yah Hudah and Mattan Yah who are over the choir - he and his brothers; ⁹ and Baqbuk Yah and Unni, their brothers, are opposite them in the guards. ¹⁰ And Yah Shua births Yah Yaqim and Yah Yaqim births El Yashib and El Yashib births Yah Yada

¹⁰ And Yah Shua births Yah Yaqim and Yah Yaqim births El Yashib and El Yashib births Yah Yada ¹¹ and Yah Yada births Yah Nathan and Yah Nathan births Yaddua. ¹² And in the days of Yah Yaqim are priests the heads of the fathers: of Sera Yah, Merayah; of Yirme Yah, Hanan Yah; ¹³ of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amar Yah, Yah Hanan; ¹⁴ of Meloochi, Yah Nathan; of Sheban Yah, Yoseph; ¹⁵ of Harim, Adna; of Merayoth, Helqai; ¹⁶ of Iddo, Zechar Yah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam; ¹⁷ of Abi Yah, Zichri; of Min Yamin of Moad Yah, Piltay; ¹⁸ of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shema Yah, Yah Nathan; ¹⁹ and of Yah Yarib, Mattenay; of Yeda Yah, Uzzi; ²⁰ of Sallay, Qallay; of Amoq, Heber; ²¹ of Hilqi Yah, Hashab Yah; of Yeda Yah, Nethan El. ²² The Leviym in the days of El Yashib: Yah Yada and Yah An and Yaddua are inscribed heads of the fathers and of the priests to the sovereigndom of Daryavesh the Persian.

²² The Leviym in the days of El Yashib: Yah Yada and Yah An and Yaddua are inscribed heads of the fathers and of the priests to the sovereigndom of Daryavesh the Persian. ²³ The sons of Levi, the heads of the fathers, are inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days, even until the days of Yah Hanan the son of El Yashib. ²⁴ And the head of the Leviym: Hashab Yah, Shereb Yah and Yah Shua the son of Qadmi El with their brothers opposite them - to halal and to spread hands according to the misvah of David the man of Elohim - underguard by underguard. ²⁵ Mattan Yah and Baqbuk Yah, Obad Yah, Meshullam, Talmon, Aqqub are porters guarding the underguard at the gatherings of the portals. ²⁶ These are in the days of Yah Yaqim the son of Yah Shua the son of Yah Sadaq and in the days of Nechem Yah the governor and of Ezra the priest the scribe.

²⁸ and the sons of the singers gather - both from the environs of the land all around Yeru Shalem and from the courts of Netophathi; ²⁹ and from the house of Hag Gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers build courts all around Yeru Shalem: ³⁰ and the priests and the Leviym purifiy themselves and purifiy the people and the portals and the wall.

³⁵ and of the sons of the priests with trumpets: Zechar Yah the son of Yah Nathan the son of Shema Yah the son of Mattan Yah the son of Michah Yah the son of Zakkur the son of Asaph;

⁴⁴ And at that day, men oversee the chambers for the treasures, for the exaltments, for the firstlings and for the tithes - to gather into them from the fields of the cities the allotments of the torah for the priests and Leviym: for the cheer of Yah Hudah for the priests and for the Leviym who stand. ⁴⁵ And both the singers and the porters guard the guard of their Elohim and the guard of the purification according to the commandment of David and of Shelomoh his son;

⁴⁷ And all Yisra El in the days of Zerub Babel and in the days of Nechem Yah give the allotments of the singers and the porters - his day by day word: and they hallow to the Leviym; and the Leviym hallow to the sons of Aharon.

¹
MONGRELS SEPARATED FROM YISRA EL
On that day, they call out in the scroll of Mosheh in the ears of the people; and they find inscribed therein that the Ammoniy and the Moabiy are not to come into the congregation of Elohim eternally;

⁴ and at the face of this, El Yashib the priest gives the oversight of the chamber of the house of our Elohim to one near to Tobi Yah: ⁵ and he works himself a great chamber where they formerly gave the offerings - the frankincense and the instruments and the tithes of the crop - the juice and the oil the misvah of the Leviym and the singers and the porters; and the exaltments of the priests.

⁵ and he works himself a great chamber where they formerly gave the offerings - the frankincense and the instruments and the tithes of the crop - the juice and the oil the misvah of the Leviym and the singers and the porters; and the exaltments of the priests.

¹¹ Then I contend with the prefects and say, Why is the house of Elohim forsaken? - and I gather them and stand them in their station.

¹⁴ Remember me, O my Elohim, concerning this; and wipe not out the mercies I worked for the house of my Elohim and for its underguard. ¹⁵ In those days in Yah Hudah I see them treading wine presses on the shabbath - and bringing in heaps and lading he burros and also wine, grapes and figs and all the burdens they bring into Yeru Shalem on the shabbath day: and I witness the day they sell hunt:

¹⁷ And I contend with the nobles of Yah Hudah and say to them, What evil word is this that you work and profane the shabbath day?

²¹ And I witness against them and say to them, Why stay you overnight opposite the wall? If you repeat, I spread hands on you. - from that time they come not on the shabbath. ²² And I say to the Leviym to purify and to come and guard the portals to hallow the shabbath day. Remember me, O my Elohim, this also; and spare me according to the greatness of your mercy. ²³ Also in those days I see that the Yah Hudiym settle with women of Ashdodiy, of Ammoniy and of Moabiy:

²⁵ And I contend with them and abase them and smite men of them and balden them and have them oath by Elohim, saying, Neither give your daughters to their sons nor bear their daughters to your sons or for yourselves.

²⁸ And of the sons of Yah Yada, the son of El Yashib the great priest is son in law to Sanballat the Horoniy: and I flee him from me.

³¹ and for the qorban of timber, at times appointed, and for the firstlings. Remember me, O my Elohim, for good.

³⁴ then I dread a great multitude - and the disrespect of families terrify me - and I hush and go not from the portal.

⁷ And as for me, I come into your house in the abundance of your mercy; and in your awe I prostrate toward your holy manse.

⁴ His eyes despise a spurner but honor them who awe Yah Veh. He who oaths to villify, and changes not;

⁷ The torah of Yah Veh is perfect, restoring the soul; the witness of Yah Veh is trustworthy, enwisening the gullible; ⁸ the precepts of Yah Veh are straight, cheering the heart; the misvah of Yah Veh is pure, enlightening the eyes; ⁹ the awe of Yah Veh is pure, standing eternally; the judgments of Yah Veh are truth, justified altogether. ¹⁰ More to be desired than gold, yes, than much pure gold; and sweeter than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb. ¹¹ Also by them your servant enlightens; and in guarding them is a great final result.

⁶ Remember, O Yah Veh, your tender mercies and your kind mercies; for they are eternal: ⁷ remember neither the sins of my youth nor my rebellions: according to your mercy remember me for sake of your goodness, O Yah Veh.

⁷ remember neither the sins of my youth nor my rebellions: according to your mercy remember me for sake of your goodness, O Yah Veh.

⁸ O Yah Veh, I love the habitation of your house and the place of the tabernacle of your honor. ⁹ Neither gather my soul with sinners nor my life with men of blood

⁷ Hear, O my people, and I word; O Yisra El, and I witness against you; I - Elohim, your Elohim.

¹ To His Eminence; Psalm by David: when Nathan the prophet comes to him, after he went in to Bath Sheba. Grant me charism, O Elohim, according to your mercy; according to the abundance of your tender mercies wipe out my rebellions:

⁵ And You, O Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El, Waken to visit all the goyim; grant not charism to any who deal covertly. Selah. ⁶ They return at evening; they roar as a dog and go all around the city: ⁷ behold, they gush with their mouth; swords are in their lips: Who hears? ⁸ And you, O Yah Veh, laugh at them; you deride all the goyim. ⁹ O my Strength, I regard you; for Elohim is my secure loft. ¹⁰ The Elohim of my mercy anticipates me; Elohim shows my opponents. ¹¹ Slaughter them not, lest my people forget; stagger them by your valour: and topple them, O Adonay our buckler. ¹² The sin of their mouth is the words of their lips - captured in their own pomp; and for oathing and deception which they scribe. ¹³ Finish them off in fury, finish them off, that they are not; and so they know that Elohim reigns in Yaaqov to the finality of the earth. Selah.

⁹ for the zeal of your house eats me; and the reproaches of them who reproach you fall on me.

¹ A Psalm by Asaph. Elohim stations in the witness of El; he judges among the elohim: ² until when judge you wickedly and lift the faces of the wicked? Selah.

⁷ Gebal and Ammon and Amaleq, the Peleshethiym with the settlers of Sor ⁸ and Ashshur joins with them - an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah. ⁹ Work them as to Midyan; as Sisera, as Yabiyn, at the wadi of Qishon;

⁸ Mornings I exterminate all the wicked of the land; to cut off all mischievous from the city of Yah Veh.

⁴ Remember me, O Yah Veh, with the pleasure of your people; O visit me with your salvation:

²⁸ They abase and you bless; they rise and shame: and your servant cheers.

⁹ BETH. How purifies a young man his way? By guarding according to your word.

¹¹ I treasure your sayings in my heart that I not sin against you.

⁶ Ask for the shalom of Yeru Shalem; they who love you are content: ⁷ shalom be within your trenches and serenity within your citadels: ⁸ for sake of my brothers and friends I beseech a word, Shalom - within you. ⁹ Because of the house of Yah Veh our Elohim I seek your good.

³ If, O Yah, you regard perversities, O Adonay, who stands? ⁴ But with you is forgiveness, that you be awed.

⁷ Yisra El, await Yah Veh; for with Yah Veh there is mercy and with him redemption abounds;

¹ A Song of Degrees. O Yah Veh, remember David and all his humblings; ² who oathed to Yah Veh and vowed to the Almighty of Yaaqov. ³ I neither come into the tent of my house; nor ascend into the bedstead of my beds; ⁴ nor give sleep to my eyes or drowsiness to my eyelids ⁵ until I find a place for Yah Veh - tabernacles for the Almighty of Yaaqov.

¹ A Psalm: By David. Hear my prayer, O Yah Veh; hearken to my supplications: in your trustworthiness answer me - in your justness. ² And enter not into judgment with your servant; for at your face no one living is justified;

²³ For the misvah is a lamp; and the torah a light; and reproofs of discipline, the way of life

⁸ A sovereign who settles in the throne of pleading winnows all evil with his eyes.

²⁶ A wise sovereign winnows the wicked and turns the wheel over them.

⁴ They who forsake the torah, halal the wicked; such as guard the torah, throttle them.

²⁶ and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is lairs and devoted and her hands as bands; whoever is good at the face of Elohim escapes from her; and the sinner is captured by her.

¹⁰ Hear the word of Yah Veh you commanders of Sedom; hearken to the torah of our Elohim you people of Amorah:

¹
THE BURDEN OF MOAB
The burden of Moab: Because in a night Ar of Moab is ravaged and rendered mute; because in a night Qir of Moab is ravaged and rendered mute: ² he ascends to Bayith and to Dibon - to the bamahs, weeping: Moab howls over Nebo and over Medeba - baldness on all their heads - every beard cut off. ³ In their outways they gird with sackcloth: on their roofs and in their broadways every one howls - descending into weeping abundantly. ⁴ And Heshbon cries, and El Aleh: their voice is heard to Yahsah: so the equipped of Moab shout; his soul trembles. ⁵ My heart is toward Moab; his fugitives cry out to Soar, an heifer of three: for by the ascent of Luchith they ascend with weeping; for in the way of Horonayim they waken a cry of breaking. ⁶ For the waters of Nimrim are desolations: for the hay withers away, the sprout finishes off; there is no green. ⁷ So the abundance they worked and what they mustered they bear away to the wadi of the willows. ⁸ For the cry goes around the borders of Moab - the howling to Eglayim and the howling to Beerelim: ⁹ for the waters of Dimon fill with blood: for I place additions upon Dimon - lions upon the escapees of Moab and upon the survivors of the soil.

¹⁶ Seek the scroll of Yah Veh, and call out! Not one of these lack! No woman oversees her mate: for my mouth misvahs, and his spirit gathers them:

³ and says, Remember, I beseech; O Yah Veh, I beseech you, how I walked at your face in truth and with a heart of shalom, and worked what is good in your eyes. - and Yechizqi Yah weeps with great weeping.

²³ and sovereigns become your nurturers and their governesses your sucklers: they prostrate to you with their nostrils toward the earth and lick up the dust of your feet; and you know I - Yah Veh: for they who await me shame not.

⁶
A MESSIANIC PROPHECY
I give my back to the smiters and my cheeks to them who balden; I hide not my face from shame and spitting;

⁷ the wicked forsake his way; and the man of mischief, his fabrications: and he returns to Yah Veh, and he mercies him; and to our Elohim, for he abounds to forgive.

¹³ If you turn away your foot from the shabbath from working your delight on my holy day; and call the shabbath, a luxury and the holy of Yah Veh, honorable and honor him; neither working your own ways nor finding your own delight nor wording your own words,

⁵ I go to the great and word to them - for they know the way of Yah Veh and the judgment of their Elohim: surely these altogether broke the yoke; they tore the bonds.

¹⁸ Say to the sovereign and to the lady, Abase! Sit! - for your headships descend - even the crown of your adornment.

¹⁹
HALLOWING THE SHABBATH
Thus says Yah Veh to me; Go and stand in the portal of the sons of the people whereby the sovereigns of Yah Hudah come and whereby they go; and in all the portals of Yeru Shalem: ²⁰ and say to them, Hear the word of Yah Veh - you sovereigns of Yah Hudah and all Yah Hudah and all the settlers of Yeru Shalem entering in by these portals. ²¹ Thus says Yah Veh, Guard your souls; and neither bear a burden on the shabbath day nor bring it in by the portals of Yeru Shalem:

²¹ Thus says Yah Veh, Guard your souls; and neither bear a burden on the shabbath day nor bring it in by the portals of Yeru Shalem: ²² neither carry forth a burden from your houses on the shabbath day nor work any work; but hallow the shabbath day as I misvahed your fathers:

²² neither carry forth a burden from your houses on the shabbath day nor work any work; but hallow the shabbath day as I misvahed your fathers: ²³ and they neither hearken nor spread their ear; and harden their neck so that they neither hear nor take discipline. ²⁴ And so be it, in hearkening, if ye hearken to me - an oracle of Yah Veh to bring in no burden through the portals of this city on the shabbath day - and hallow the shabbath day to work no work therein;

²⁷ And if you hearken not to me to hallow the shabbath day, and to not bear a burden, even entering at the portals of Yeru Shalem on the shabbath day; then I kindle a fire in the portals; and it consumes the citadels of Yeru Shalem, and quenches not.

² and say, Hear the word of Yah Veh, O sovereign of Yah Hudah, who sits on the throne of David - you and your servants and your people entering by these portals. ³ Thus says Yah Veh: Work judgment and justness and rescue the stripped from the hand of the oppressor: and neither wrong nor violate the sojourner, the orphan and the widow; nor pour innocent blood in this place. ⁴ For if in working, ye work this word, then there enters in by the portals of this house sovereigns sitting on the throne of David riding in chariots and on horses - he and his servants and his people: ⁵ and if you hear not these words, I oath by myself - an oracle of Yah Veh that this house becomes a parched area. ⁶ For thus says Yah Veh to the house of the sovereign of Yah Hudah: You are my Gilad - the head of Lebanon: surely I place you a wilderness, and cities not settled: ⁷ and I hallow ruiners against you, - every man with his instruments: and they cut down your choice cedars and fell them in the fire. ⁸ And many goyim pass by this city and they say every man to his friend, Why works Yah Veh thus to this great city? ⁹ And they say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yah Veh their Elohim; and prostrated to other elohim and served them. ¹⁰ Neither weep you for the dead nor wag over him: but in weeping, weep for him who goes away: for he neither returns any more nor sees his native land. ¹¹ For thus says Yah Veh concerning Shallum the son of Yoshi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah - who reigned in the stead of Yoshi Yah his father - who went from this place, He returns here no more; ¹² he dies in the place they exiled him and sees this land no more. ¹³ Ho to him who builds his house without justness and his upper rooms without judgment; who uses the service of his friend gratuitously, and gives him not for his deeds; ¹⁴ who says, I build me a house of measure and breathtaking upper rooms; and rip out windows and ciel with cedar and anoint with vermilion. ¹⁵ Reign you, because you are inflamed in cedar? Your father - ate and drank he not? Yes, he worked judgment and justness - and for his own good: ¹⁶ he pleaded the cause of the humble and needy; - and for his good: Was this not to know me? - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹⁷ But your eyes and your heart are for naught but your greedy gain and for pouring innocent blood and for oppression and to work violence. ¹⁸ So thus says Yah Veh concerning Yah Yaqim the son of Yoshi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah: They chop not for him, saying, Ho my brother! or, Ho sister! they chop not for him, Ho adoni! or, Ho his majesty! ¹⁹ He is entombed with the tomb of a burro - dragged and cast forth beyond the portals of Yeru Shalem. ²⁰ Ascend to Lebanon and cry; and give your voice in Bashan and cry from Abirim: for all your lovers are broken. ²¹ I worded to you in your serenity; you said, I hear not. This is your way from your youth, that you hearkened not to my voice. ²² The wind tends all your tenders and your lovers go into captivity: surely then you shame and confound for all your evil. ²³ O settler of Lebanon, who nests in the cedars, how charismatic are you when pangs come on you - the pang as in birthing!

¹⁹ Yah Veh words concerning you, O you survivors of Yah Hudah; Enter not Misrayim: in knowing, know that I witness to you this day:

⁹ Forget you the evil of your fathers? And the evil of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah? And the evil of their women? And your own evil? And the evil your women worked in the land of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem?

²² And Yah Veh can no longer bear at the face of the evil of your exploits - and at the face of the abhorrences you worked; so your land is a parched area and a desolation and an abasement without a settler, as this day.

MESSAGE AGAINST MOAB
Against Moab: Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El; Ho, Nebo! for it is ravaged: Qiryathaim is shamed and captured: the secure loft is shamed and dismayed. ² The halal of Moab is no more: in Heshbon they fabricated evil against it. Come, and we cut it off from a goyim. Also you, O Madmen, are severed; the sword goes after you. ³ A voice of crying from Horonaim - ravage and great breaking. ⁴ Moab is broken; her little ones cry a cry to be heard. ⁵ For in the ascent of Luchith, in weeping, weeping ascends; for in the descent of Horonaim the tribulators hear a cry of breaking. ⁶ Flee! Rescue your souls! Become as the naked tree in the wilderness.

¹
MESSAGE AGAINST THE SONS OF AMMON
Concerning the sons of Ammon, thus says Yah Veh: Has Yisra El no sons? - No successor? Why has their sovereign succeeded Gad? - and his people settle in his cities? ² So behold, days come, - an oracle of Yah Veh that I have a blast of war to be heard in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon; and it becomes a desolate heap: and her daughters burn with fire: and Yisra El posseses them who possessed him, says Yah Veh. ³ Howl, O Heshbon, for Ay is ravaged! Cry, you daughters of Rabbah; gird with saq; chop, and flit by the walls; for their sovereign goes into exile together with his priests and his governors. ⁴ Why halal in the valleys - your flowing valley, O apostate daughter? Who confides in her treasures? Who comes to me? ⁵ Behold, I bring a fear on you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth from all them all around you; and they drive you out - every man from his face; and no one gathers him who wanders: ⁶ And afterward I restore the captivity of the sons of Ammon - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁰ The tribulator spreads his hand on all her desires; for she sees the goyim enter her holies, whom you commanded to not enter your congregation.

¹³ And the house of Yisra El rebels against me in the wilderness: they walk not in my statutes and they spurn my judgments - which, if a human works, he lives in them; and they mightily profane my shabbaths: and I say, I pour my fury on them in the wilderness to consume them.

⁸ she forsakes not her whoredoms from Misrayim: for in her youth they lie with her and work the nipples of her virginity and pour their whoredom on her.

²⁶ and they strip your clothes and take your instruments of adornment:

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE SONS OF AMMON
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ² Son of humanity, set your face against the sons of Ammon and prophesy against them: ³ and say to the sons of Ammon, Hear the word of Adonay Yah Veh; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you say, Aha! against my holies, when it profanes; and against the soil of Yisra El, when it desolates; and against the house of Yah Hudah, when they go into exile; ⁴ behold, so I give you to the sons of the east for a possession; and they set their walls in you and give their tabernacles in you: they eat your fruit and they drink your milk: ⁵ and I give Rabbah as a habitation of rest for camels and the sons of Ammon as a place of rest for flocks: and you know I - Yah Veh. ⁶ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you clap the hand, and stamp the foot, and cheer in soul with all your despite against the soil of Yisra El; ⁷ behold, so I spread my hand on you and give you for plunder to the goyim; and I cut you off from the people, and I destroy you from the countries: I desolate you; and you know I - Yah Veh. ⁸
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING MOAB AND SEIR
Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir, Behold, Yah Hudah is as all the goyim; ⁹ so, behold, I open the shoulder of Moab from the cities - from his cities on his edges, the splendor of the country - Beth Ha Yeshimoth, Baal Meon and Qiryathaim; ¹⁰ to the sons of the east with the sons of Ammon; and give them in possession: so that the sons of Ammon are not remembered among the goyim: ¹¹ and I work judgments on Moab; and they know I - Yah Veh.

¹³ Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I restore them not; because of splitting the women with child of Gilad, to enlarge their border:

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH TO YAAQOV AND YISRA EL
And I say, Hear, I beseech you, O heads of Yaaqov and you commanders of the house of Yisra El; Is it not for you to know judgment?

⁹ Hear this, I beseech you, you heads of the house of Yaaqov and commanders of the house of Yisra El - who abhor judgment and pervert all straightness

³ O my people, what work I to you? And wherein weary I you? Answer against me.

⁵ O my people, remember, I beseech, what Balaq sovereign of Moab counselled and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal; so that you know the justness of Yah Veh.

⁹ For then I restore a purified lip to the people so that they all call on the name of Yah Veh to serve him with one shoulder.

⁴ Become not as your fathers to whom the former prophets called out, saying thus: - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth Turn, I beseech, from your evil ways and from your evil exploits! - and they neither heard nor hearkened to me - an oracle of Yah Veh. ⁵ Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, live they eternally? ⁶ Only, my words and my statutes which I misvahed to my servants the prophets, overtook they not your fathers? And they return and say, As Yah Veh Sabaoth intrigues to work to us, according to our ways and our exploits, works he thus with us.

⁶
PRIESTS PROFANE THE SACRIFICE ALTAR
A son honors his father, and a servant his adoni: and if I am a father, where is my honor? and if I am an adoni, where is my awesomeness? Yah Veh Sabaoth says to you, O priests, who despise my name, you say, Wherein despise we your name? ⁷ You bring profane bread on my sacrifice altar; and you say, Wherein profane we you? saying, The table of Yah Veh is despised. ⁸ And if you bring the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if you bring the lame and sick, is it not evil? Oblate it, I beseech, to your governor; Is he pleased with you? Or lifts he your face? says Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁹ And now, I beseech you, stroke the face of El so that he grant us charism: this being from your hand, Lifts he your faces? says Yah Veh Sabaoth. ¹⁰ Who, even among you, shuts the doors? Yes, you light my sacrifice altar gratuitously; I neither delight in you, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, nor an offering at your hand pleases me. ¹¹ For from the rising of the sun even to the entry of the same my name is great among the goyim; and in every place incense is brought to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the goyim, says Yah Veh Sabaoth. ¹² And you profane it, saying, The table of Yah Veh is profane; and the fruit, his food, contemptible. ¹³ You also say, Behold, what trouble! and you puff at it, says Yah Veh Sabaoth; and you bring the stripped and the lame and the sick. Thus bring you an offering: of your hand that pleases? says Yah Veh. ¹⁴ And cursed is the deceiver who has a male in his drove; and vows and sacrifices a ruin to Adonay: for I am a great Sovereign, says Yah Veh Sabaoth; and my name is awesome among the goyim.

⁴ And you know I send this misvah to you, so that my covenant becomes with Levi, says Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁵ My covenant with him becomes life and shalom; and I give them to him for the awesomeness with which he awes me, and because he terrifies at the face of my name. ⁶ The torah of truth being in his mouth, and no perversity found in his lips: he walks with me in shalom and straightness and turns many away from iniquity. ⁷ For the lips of the priest guard knowledge and they seek the torah at his mouth: for he is the angel of Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁸ And you turn aside from the way; you falter many at the torah; you ruin the covenant of Levi; says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹⁰ Have we not all one father? Has not one El created us? Why deal we covertly, every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? ¹¹ Yah Hudah deals covertly, and works an abhorrence in Yisra El and in Yeru Shalem; for Yah Hudah profanes the holiness of Yah Veh which he loved, and married the daughter of a strange el. ¹² Yah Veh cuts off the man who works this - he who wakens and he who answers from the tents of Yaaqov; and he who brings near an offering to Yah Veh Sabaoth.

⁸ A human, defrauds he Elohim? - yet you defraud me. And you say, Wherein defraud we you? In tithes and exaltments.

⁸ A human, defrauds he Elohim? - yet you defraud me. And you say, Wherein defraud we you? In tithes and exaltments. ⁹ You are cursed with a curse: for you defraud me - this whole goyim. ¹⁰ Bring all your tithes into the treasure house, that there be prey in my house; and proof me, I beseech, herewith, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, if I not open the windows of the heavens to you and pour a blessing until you not have sufficient.

¹⁰ Bring all your tithes into the treasure house, that there be prey in my house; and proof me, I beseech, herewith, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, if I not open the windows of the heavens to you and pour a blessing until you not have sufficient. ¹¹ And for your sakes, I rebuke the devourer that he neither ruin the fruits of your soil; nor your vine abort her fruit ere its time in the field, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

²⁵ and while humanity sleeps his enemy comes and spores darnel among the grain and goes his way:

¹²
YAH SHUA CLEANSES THE PRIESTAL PRECINCT
And Yah Shua enters the priestal precinct of Elohim and ejects all who sell and market in the priestal precinct; and upsets the tables of the coindealers and the cathedras of them who sell doves. ¹³ And words to them, It is scribed, My house is called the house of prayer; but you make it a grotto of robbers. ^{Isaiah 56:7}

⁴⁰ And the sovereign answers them, saying, Amen! I word to you, As you did to one of the least of these my brothers, you did to me.

¹⁵
YAH SHUA CLEANSES THE PRIESTAL PRECINCT
And they go to Yeru Shalem: and Yah Shua enters the priestal precinct and begins to cast out them who sell and market in the priestal precinct; and he overthrows the tables of the coindealers and the cathedras of them who sell doves; ¹⁶ and allows no one to bear any vessel through the priestal precinct. ¹⁷ And he doctrinates them, wording, Is it not scribed, My house is called by all goyim the house of prayer? And you make it a grotto of robbers. ^{Isaiah 56:7, Jeremiah 7:11}

¹⁶ And he goes to Nazareth where he was nurtured: and as his custom, he enters the synagogue on the day of the shabbaths and rises to read: ¹⁷ and he is given the scroll of the prophet Yesha Yah: and he unfurls the scroll, and finds the place where it is scribed, ¹⁸ Spirit of Yah Veh is upon me, because he anoints me to evangelize the poor; he apostolizes me to heal the crushed in heart; to preach forgiveness to the captives and sight to the blind; to apostolize the crushed in forgiveness; ¹⁹ to preach the acceptable year of Yah Veh. ^{Isaiah 61:1, 2}

²⁶ He says to him, What is scribed in the torah? How read you?

⁴⁵ And one of the torahists answers, wording, Doctor, Thus wording, you also insult us. ⁴⁶ And he says, Woe to you also, you torahists! For you overburden humanity with oppressive burdens; and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴² And Adonay says, Who then is that trustworthy and thoughtful administrator whom his adoni seats over his therapy to give their measure of grain in due season?

¹⁰ Whoever is trustworthy in the least is also trustworthy in much: and whoever is unjust in the least is also unjust in much. ¹¹ So if you are not trustworthy in the unjust mammon, who entrusts you with the true? ¹² And if you are not trustworthy in that of another, who gives you that which is your own?

⁴² And he words to Yah Shua, Adonay, remember me whenever you come into your sovereigndom.

¹³ And the pasach of the Yah Hudiym is near and Yah Shua ascends to Yeru Shalem; ¹⁴ and in the priestal precinct finds them who sell oxen and sheep and doves - and the coindealers sitting: ¹⁵ and he makes a whip of ropes and casts them all from the priestal precinct with the sheep and the oxen; and pours out the coins of the coindealers and overturns the tables; ¹⁶ and says to them who sell doves, Take these hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise. ¹⁷ - and his disciples remember it is scribed, The zeal of your house consumes me. ^{Psalm 69:9}

⁴⁰ And he witnesses and beseeches with many other words, wording, You, be saved from this crooked generation.

³⁵ and place them at the feet of the apostles: and distribute to each as any needed.

¹
THE MINISTRY OF TABLES
And in these days, as the number of the disciples multiplies, there becomes a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because they overlook the widows in the daily ministry.

³ so, brothers, scope out seven men of witness full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom to seat over this need:

¹⁵ And after the reading of the torah and the prophets, the synagogue archs apostolize to them, wording, Men and brothers, if you have any word of consolation for the people, word on.

²¹ For from ancient generations and in every city Mosheh has them who preach of him; being read in the synagogues every shabbath.

²¹ - witnessing both to the Yah Hudiym and to the Hellenes repentance to Elohim, and trust to our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah.

²⁸ crying out, Men - Yisra Eliym, help! This is the human who doctrinates everyone every where against the people and the torah and this place: and even brings Hellenes into the priestal precinct and profanes this holy place. ²⁹ - for previously they saw Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the city - whom they presumed that Paulos brought into the priestal precinct.

²⁰ Because by the works of the torah no flesh is justified in his sight: for through the torah is the knowledge of sin.

³ For archs are not an awe to good works but to the evil. So will you, to not be awestricken of the authority? Do good and you have halal of the same: ⁴ for he is your minister of Elohim for good. But whenever you do evil, awe; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of Elohim - the avenger to wrath upon whoever transacts evil.

¹¹ For it was evidenced to me concerning you my brothers, by them of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

² Finally it is sought in administrators, to find each trustworthy.

¹² For this is our boasting: the witness of our conscience: that with liberality and sincerity of Elohim - not in fleshly wisdom but in the charism of Elohim we have our behavior in the cosmos and more superabundantly toward you.

¹⁴
UNEQUAL YOKES
Yoke not unequally with the trustless! For what partaking has justness with torah violations? And what communion has light with darkness?

³ For I witness again to every circumcised human, that he is a debtor to do the whole torah.

¹⁷
THE UNHOLY LIFE
So I word this, and witness in Adonay, to no longer walk exactly as the rest of the goyim in the vanity of their mind;

⁶ so that no one oversteps and defrauds his brother in any matter: because Adonay is the avenger concerning all such, exactly as we also foretold you and witness.ed

¹²
THE PERSONAL WITNESS OF PAULOS
And I have charism to Messiah Yah Shua our Adonay, who dynamized me, who deemed me trustworthy, putting me into the ministry:

¹⁰ and also first be proved, and then minister: being unimpeachable.

¹⁷ Deem the elders who preside well worthy of double honor, especially who labor in the word and doctrine. ¹⁸ For the scripture words, Muzzle not the ox that treads. And, The worker is worthy of his reward. ^{Deuteronomy 25:4, Luke 10:7}

⁷ I agonized a good agony; I completed/shalamed my race; I guarded the trust: ⁸ henceforth a wreath of justness is laid up for me which Adonay the just judge gives me in that day - and not only to me but also to all them who love his epiphany.

¹⁴
BEING ON GUARD
Alexander the coppersmith indicates me much evil; Adonay give him according to his works:

¹⁰ For Elohim is not unjust to forget your work and the labor of love you indicate to his name, ministering to the holy, and ministering.

²⁷ Pure and unpolluted ceremony with Elohim and the Father is this: To scope out the orphans and widows in their tribulation and to guard himself unstained from the cosmos.

¹⁴ whether to governors, as to them who indeed are sent through him to avenge evildoers, and for the halal of them doing good.

⁵ Whoever triumphs arrays in white garments: and I never no way erase his name from the scroll of life, and I confess his name in sight of my Father and in sight of his angels.

¹⁸
THE FINAL WARNING
For I co-witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll, Whenever anyone places to these, Elohim places to him the plagues scribed in this scroll: ¹⁹ and whenever anyone removes from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, Elohim removes his part from the scroll of life and from the holy city, and those scribed in this scroll.
