Book of Common Prayer
105 O give thanks unto Hashem; call upon Shmo; make known His deeds among the amim.
2 Sing unto Him, sing praise unto Him; talk ye of all His nifle’ot (wondrous works).
3 Glory ye in the Shem Kadosh of Him; let the lev of them that seek Hashem be glad.
4 Seek Hashem, and His oz (strength); seek His face tamid.
5 Remember His nifla’ot (marvellous works) that He hath done; His mofetim (wonders), and the mishpatim of His mouth;
6 O ye zera Avraham His eved, ye Bnei Ya’akov His Bechirim (chosen ones).
7 He is Hashem Eloheinu; His mishpatim are in kol ha’aretz.
8 He hath remembered His Brit l’olam, the Dvar which He commanded to an elef dor (a thousand generations)
9 Which Brit He made with Avraham, and His shevu’ah (oath) unto Yitzchak;
10 And confirmed the same unto Ya’akov for a chok (decree), and to Yisroel as Brit Olam;
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give Eretz Kena’an, the chevel (lot, portion) of your nachalah.
12 When they were but few in mispar (number), very few, and gerim (strangers) in it.
13 When they went from one goy (nation) to another, from one mamlachah (kingdom) to am acher (another people);
14 He permitted no adam to oppress them; and He reproved melachim for their sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not Mine meshichim (anointed ones, My Messianics), and do My nevi’im no harm.
16 Moreover He called for a ra’av (famine) upon ha’aretz; He broke the kol matteh (whole staff of, all supply of) lechem.
17 He sent an ish before them, even Yosef, who was sold as an eved (slave);
18 Whose regel they hurt with the kevel (shackle); his nefesh was laid in barzel;
19 Until the time that his dvar (prophecy, word) came to pass; the Imrat Hashem (revelation, word of G-d, i.e., revelation of that which set forth saving promises) had tested him.
20 The Melech sent and released him, the Moshel Amim, and set him free.
21 He made him adon of his bais, and moshel of all his possessions;
22 To bind [in prison] his sarim (princes) at his pleasure; and teach his zekenim chochmah.
23 Yisroel also came into Mitzrayim; thus Ya’akov sojourned in Eretz Cham.
24 And He increased Amo (His people) greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their lev to hate Amo, to deal cunningly with His avadim.
26 He sent Moshe His Eved; and Aharon whom He had chosen.
27 They showed His Otot (signs) among them, and mofetim (wonders) in Eretz Cham.
28 He sent choshech, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against His Devar.
29 He turned their mayim into dahm, and made their dag (fish) die.
30 Their land brought forth tzfarde’im (frogs) in abundance, even in the chadarim (rooms) of their melachim.
31 He spoke, and there came arov (flies), and kinim (lice) in all their territory.
32 He gave them barad (hail) for geshem (rain), and eish of lightning in their land.
33 He struck down their gefen also and their te’enah (fig tree); and broke the trees of their territory.
34 He spoke, and the arbeh (locusts) came, and grasshoppers, and that without number,
35 And did eat up all the esev (herbs) in their land, and devoured their p’ri adamah (fruit of the ground).
36 He struck down also kol bechor in their land, the reshit (firstfruit) of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with kesef and zahav; and there was not one stumbling among His Shvatim (tribes).
38 Mitzrayim was glad when they departed; for the pachad (terror, dread) of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread an anan for a curtain; and eish to give light in the lailah.
40 The people asked, and He brought slav (quails), and satisfied them with the lechem Shomayim.
41 He opened the Tzur, and the mayim gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a nahar.
42 For He remembered His Davar Kadosh, and Avraham His eved.
43 And He brought forth His people with sasson, and His chosen with joyful shouts;
44 And gave them the lands of the Goyim; and they inherited the amal (labor, toil) of the amim;
45 That they might be shomer over His chukkot, and observe His torot (laws). Praise Hashem.
65 I let Myself be sought of them that asked not for Me; I let Myself be found of them that sought me not; I said, Hineni, behold Me, unto a Goy (Nation, People) that was not called by My Shem.
2 I have spread out My yad kol hayom unto an Am Sorer (stubbornly rebellious people), which walketh in a derech lo tov, after their own machshevot (thoughts);
3 HaAm that provoketh Me to anger continually to My face; that sacrificeth in ganot (gardens), and burneth sacrifices upon brick;
4 Which remain among the kevarim, and spend the night in closed places, which eat basar hachazir, and broth of piggulim (unclean meat, Lv.7:18) in their vessels;
5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am kadosh to thee (holier than thou). These are a smoke in My nose, an eish that burneth kol hayom.
6 Hinei, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but will recompense fully, even recompense into their kheyk,
7 Your avonot, and the iniquities of your avot together, saith Hashem, because they burned sacrifices upon the mountains, and insulted Me upon the hills; therefore will I measure their former peulot into their kheyk.
8 Thus saith Hashem, As the tirosh is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a brocha is in it; so will I do in behalf of My Servants, that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a zera out of Ya’akov, and out of Yehudah a yoresh (inheritor) of My mountains; and Mine Bechir (Chosen ones) shall inherit it, and My Servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon shall be a meadow for tzon, and the valley of Achor a place for the flock to lie down, for Ami (My People) who seek Me.
11 But ye are they that forsake Hashem, that forget My Har Kadosh, that prepare a shulchan for Fortune, and that furnish the drink offering for Destiny.
12 Therefore will I destine you for the cherev, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughtering place; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spoke, ye did not hear; but did the rah before Mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
4 Now the Ruach HaKodesh says befeirush (explicitly) that in the acharit hayamim some will become meshummad (apostate) from the emunah [of Moshiach], giving heed to deceitful ruchot (spirits, 1Yn 4:1) and teachings of shedim,
2 Through the tzevi’ut (hypocrisy) of ones [morei sheker] speaking sheker, the matzpun of whom is seared as with a branding iron.
3 Such will forbid nisu’im (marriage), commanding an isser (prohibition) against that ma’akhal which Hashem created for partaking with hodayah by the ma’aminim in Moshiach and by the ones who have da’as of HaEmes,
4 Because the whole Bri’ah (Creation) that Hashem has created is tov [BERESHIS 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, 31] and nothing is to be rejected that is received with hodayah.
5 For it is being set apart as kodesh through the dvar Hashem and tefillos and brachot.
6 By presenting these things to the Achim [in Moshiach] you will be a good k’li kodesh (minister) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, you will be one nourished with the divrei haemunah and the torah yeshara (good, straight Orthodox Jewish teaching) which you have followed.
7 But the worldly aggadot and bubbemeises (old wives tales), refuse. Rather, train yourself [1:4] for chasidus [in Moshiach].
8 For hitammelut (bodily exercise or training) is kedai (profitable) a bissle, but chasidus [in Moshiach] is profitable in every way, holding havtachah (promise) of Chayyim now in the Olam Hazeh, and, later, of Olam Habah.
9 This dvar torah is trustworthy and worthy of all acceptance.
10 For to this end we labor and strive at the melachah (task), because we have set tikvateynu in the EL CHAI [YEHOSHUA 3:10] who is Moshi’a (Savior) of kol Bnei Adam, that is, the ma’aminim [in Moshiach Adoneinu].
11 On these things insist and say shiurim.
12 Let no one regard with contempt your tza’irut (youth), but become a mofet (example) for the ma’aminim [in Moshiach] in loshon (speech), in hitnahagut (conduct), in ahavah, in emunah, and in lev tahor.
13 Until I come, attend to the kri’ah betzibbur (congregational public reading) of the Kitvei Hakodesh, attend to the Messianic hatafah (preaching) and to the Messianic hora’ah (instruction, teaching).
14 Do not neglect the matanah (gift) in you which was given to you by means of dvar hanevu’ah (prophecy) with the s’michah administered by the Ziknei HaKehillah.
15 Put these things into practice, that your progress in shomer masoret (religious devotion) may be manifest to all.
16 Be shomer both toward yourself and toward your Messianic hora’ah (instruction), and be arain getun (engrossed), torud (completely absorbed and involved) in them. For by so doing this, you will come to Yeshu’at Eloheynu, and this means not only you yourself but also those who hear your hatafah [about Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach].
13 And they send to him some of the Perushim (Pharisees) and the Herodians in order that they might catch him in a dvar.
14 And having come, they say to him: Rabbi, we have daas that you are an ish Emes and you do not show deference toward anyone. Ki ein masso panim (For there is no partiality) with you but rather on the Derech Hashem you give Divrei Torah in Emes. Is it mutar to give a poll tax to Caesar or not? Should we give or should we not give?
15 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having seen their tzeviut (hypocrisy), said to them, Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius that I may look [at it].
16 And they brought [one]. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Whose demut is this and whose inscription? And they said to him, Caesar’s.
17 And he said to them, The things of Caesar, give to Caesar, and the things of Hashem [give] to Hashem. And they were amazed at Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
18 And [the] Tzedukim come to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the ones who say that there is not to be a Techiyas HaMesim, and they were questioning him, saying,
19 Rabbi, Moshe (Rabbeinu) wrote to us that if an ACH of someone should die and leave behind an isha UVEN EIN LO (and there is no son to him) YEVAMAH YAVO ALEIHA ULEKAKHAH LO LISHA VHAYAH HABECHOR ASHER TELED YAKUM AL SHEM ACHIV HAMET (the brother of her husband must come to her and he must take her to him as wife and the Bechor she bears shall raise up the name of the dead brother. DEVARIM 25:5)
20 Now there were shiva achim. And the first took a wife and, dying, did not leave a descendant.
21 And the second took her and he died, not having left behind a descendant. And the third likewise.
22 And the seven did not leave a descendant.
23 In the Techiyas HaMesim, when they are made to stand up alive, of which of them will she be [the] isha? For seven had her as wife.
24 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, said to them, Is not this the reason you are in error, having daas neither of the Kitvei Hakodesh nor of the gevurat Hashem?
25 But concerning the Mesim that are made to stand up alive, they do not marry nor are they given in nisuim, but are like the malachim in Shomayim.
26 But concerning the Mesim, that they are made to stand up alive, have you not read in the sefer Moshe at the bush, how Hashem spoke to him, saying, ANOCHI ELOHEI AVRAHAM ELOHEI YITZCHAK VELOHEI YAAKOV, SHEMOT 3:6)
27 Hashem is not the G-d of the Mesim (Dead ones) but of the Chayyim (Living ones). You are greatly mistaken.
