5 Now the Bnei Reuven the bechor Yisroel, for he was the bechor; but forasmuch as he defiled the bed of aviv, his bechorah (firstborn birthright) was given unto the Bnei Yosef Ben Yisroel, though [the latter was] not listed in the family registers as the bechorah.

² For Yehudah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the nagid; but the bechorah (portion of the firstborn) was Yosef’s.

³ The Bnei Reuven bechor Yisroel were Chanoch, and Pallu, Chetzron, and Carmi.

⁴ The Bnei Yoel: Shema’yah bno, Gog bno, Shimei bno,

⁵ Michah bno, Reayah bno, Ba’al bno,

⁶ Be’erah bno, whom Tilgat Pilneser Melech Ashur carried away into the Golus; he was nasi of the Reuveni.

⁷ And his relatives by their mishpekhot, when the genealogy of their toldot was reckoned, were the rosh, Ye’i’el, and Zecharyah,

⁸ And Bela Ben Azaz Ben Shema Ben Yoel who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nevo and Baal Meon;

⁹ And eastward he inhabited as far as the beginning of the midbar from the river Euphrates, because their mikneh (livestock) were multiplied in Eretz Gil’ad.

¹⁰ And in the days of Sha’ul they made milchamah with the Hagari’im, who fell by their yad; and they dwelt in their ohalim (tents) throughout all the area east of Gil’ad.

¹¹ And the Bnei Gad dwelt next to them, in the Eretz Bashan as far as Salchah;

¹² Yoel the rosh, and Shapham the mishneh (second), and Ya’nai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

¹³ And their achim of the bais avoteihem were Micha’el, and Meshullam, and Sheva, and Yorai, and Yakan, and Zia, and Ever, shivah (seven) in all.

¹⁴ These are the Bnei Avichayil Ben Churi Ben Yaroach Ben Gil’ad Ben Micha’el Ben Yeshishai Ben Yachdo Ben Buz.

¹⁵ Achi Ben Avdi’el Ben Guni was rosh of the bais avoteihem.

¹⁶ And they dwelt in Gil’ad in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the migrashim (open lands) of Sharon, within their borders.

¹⁷ All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Yotam Melech Yehudah, and in the days of Yarov’am Melech Yisroel.

¹⁸ The Bnei Reuven, and the Gadi, and half the shevet (tribe) of Menasheh, of bnei chayil, anashim able to bear mogen and cherev, and to shoot with keshet, and trained for milchamah, were four and forty elef seven hundred and threescore, that were ready for military service.

¹⁹ And they waged milchamah against the Hagari’im, with Yetur, and Naphish, and Nodav.

²⁰ And they were helped against them, and the Hagari’im were delivered into their yad, and all that were with them, for they cried to Elohim in the milchamah, and He was entreated of them [T.N. These genealogies establish the massively eyewitnessed veracity of the death and resurrection of Israel in and from the Golus.] because they put their trust in Him.

²¹ And they took away their mikneh: of their gemalim fifty elef, and of tzon two hundred and fifty elef, and of chamorim two thousand, and of nefesh adam a hundred elef.

²² For there fell down many slain, because the milchamah was Elohim’s. And they took up residence in their place until the Golus.

²³ And Bnei chatzi (half) shevet Menasheh dwelt in the land. They increased from Bashan unto Ba’al Chermon and Senir, and unto Har Chermon.

²⁴ And these were the heads of the bais avotam, even Epher, Yishi, Eliel, Azriel, Yirmeyah, and Hodavyah, and Yachdiel, anashim gibborei chayil, famous men, and heads of the bais avotam.

²⁵ And they transgressed against Elohei Avoteihem, and went a-whoring after the elohim of the peoples of the land, whom Elohim made shmad before them.

²⁶ And Elohei Yisroel stirred up the ruach of Pul Melech Ashur, and the ruach of Tilgat Pilneser Melech Ashur, and he carried them away into Golus, even the Reuveni, and the Gadi, and the half tribe of Menasheh, and brought them unto Chalach, and Chavor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.

^32 (6:17) And they were the mesharetim (ministers) before the Mishkan Ohel Mo’ed with singing, until Sh’lomo had built the Beis Hashem in Yerushalayim, and then they performed their avodas [kodesh service] according to their mishpatim (regulations).

^33 (6:18) And these are they that stood [ministering] with their banim. Of the Bnei Kehati; Heman the meshorer (singer) Ben Yoel Ben Shemuel,

^38 (6:23) Ben Yitzhar Ben Kehat Ben Levi Ben Yisroel.

^39 (6:24) And achiv Asaph, who stood at his right hand, even Asaph Ben Berechyah Ben Shimea,

^40 (6:25) Ben Micha’el Ben Ba’aseyah Ben Malkiyah,

^41 (6:26) Ben Etni Ben Zerach Ben Adayah,

^42 (6:27) Ben Eitan Ben Zimmah Ben Shimei,

^43 (6:28) Ben Yachat Ben Gershom Ben Levi.

^44 (6:29) And their achim the Bnei Merari stood on the left hand; Eitan Ben Kishi Ben Avdi Ben Maluch,

^45 (6:30) Ben Chashavyah Ben Amatzyah Ben Chilkiyah,

^46 (6:31) Ben Amtzi Ben Bani Ben Shemer,

^47 (6:32) Ben Machli Ben Mushi Ben Merari Ben Levi.

^48 (6:33) Their achim also the Levi’im were appointed unto all the avodas Mishkan Beis HaElohim.

^49 (6:34) But Aharon and his banim presented the offerings upon the Mizbe’ach HaOlah and on the Mizbe’ach HaKetoret, and were appointed for all the work of the Kodesh HaKodashim, and to make kapporah for Yisroel, according to all that Moshe eved HaElohim had commanded.

^50 (6:35) And these are the Bnei Aharon; Eleazar bno, Pinchas bno, Avishua bno,

^52 (6:37) Merayot bno, Amaryah bno, Achituv bno,

^53 (6:38) Tzadok bno, Achima’atz bno.

^54 (6:39) Now these are their moshevot throughout their assigned territories, of the Bnei Aharon, of the mishpekhot of the Kehati, for the goral (lot) fell upon them.

^55 (6:40) And they gave them Chevron in Eretz Yehudah, and the migrashim thereof all around it.

^56 (6:41) The sadeh of the Ir, and the villages thereof, they gave to Kalev Ben Yephunneh.

^57 (6:42) And to the Bnei Aharon they gave the cities of refuge, namely, Chevron, and Livnah with her migrashim, and Yatir, and Eshtemoa, with her migrashim,

^58 (6:43) Chilez with her migrashim, Devir with hers,

^63 (6:48) Unto the Bnei Merari were given by goral, throughout their mishpekhot, out of the tribe of Reuven, and out of that of Gad, and out of that of Zevulun, 12 towns.

^64 (6:49) And the Bnei Yisroel gave to the Levi’im these towns with their migrashim.

^65 (6:50) And they gave by goral out of the tribe of the Bnei Yehudah, and out of the tribe of the Bnei Shim’on, and out of the tribe of the Bnei Binyamin, these towns, which are called by their shmot.

^66 (6:51) For some of the mishpekhot of the Bnei Kehat had towns of their territories out of the tribe of Ephrayim.

^67 (6:52) They gave unto them, of the cities of refuge, Shechem in Har Ephrayim with her migrashim; they gave Gezer with her migrashim,

^68 (6:53) And Yokmeam with her migrashim, and Beit Choron with her migrashim,

^69 (6:54) And Ayalon with her migrashim, and Gat Rimmon with her migrashim;

^70 (6:55) And out of the half tribe of Menasheh; Aner with her migrashim, and Bileam with her migrashim, for the mishpakhat of the rest of the Bnei Kehat.

^71 (6:56) Unto the Bnei Gershom were given out of the mishpakhat of the half tribe of Menasheh Golan in Bashan with her migrashim, and Ashtarot with her migrashim;

^81 (6:66) And Cheshbon with her migrashim, and Ya’zer with her migrashim.

10 For the Torah, als (since) it has only a shadow of the tovot ha’atidot (good things to come) and is not the etzem (actual) things, can never by the same yearly zevakhim (sacrifices), which they offer continually, make shleimut (whole, complete) those drawing kiruv (near).

² Otherwise, would these zevakhim not have stopped being offered, because the worshipers, having experienced tohorah (purification, cleansing) even once, would no longer have had consciousness of averos?

³ But by those zevakhim there is a zikaron (remembrance) and a reminder of averos year after year.

⁴ For it is impossible for the dahm of parim (young bulls) and se’irim (goats) to take away chatta’im (sins).

⁵ Therefore, when he comes into the Olam Hazeh, he says "ZEVACH UMINCHAH LO CHAFATZTA ("sacrifice and offering" Ps 40:7 (6) You did not desire but a body you prepared for me; (Ps 39:7 TARGUM HA-SHIVIM)

⁶ OLAH V’CHATA’AH LO SH’ALTA ("Burnt offering and sin offering you have not desired")

⁷ Then I said, 'Look, here I am, I have come‖it is written about me in the megillah [scroll’) LA’ASOT RETZONECHAH ELOHAI CHAFATZTI ("I desire to do your will, O G-d.")

⁸ When he said above, "ZEVACH and MINCHAH and OLAH and CHATA’AH you have not desired, nor have you taken pleasure in them"‖these are offered according to the Torah

⁹ —Then he said, "I have come LA’ASOT RETZONECHAH ("to do your will.") He takes away HaRishonah (the way of the zevakhim of the kehunah of Levi) in order to establish HaSheniyah (the way of the zevach of the kehunah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach).

¹⁰ And it is by the ratzon Hashem that we will have been set apart for kedushah through the korban NEFESH (YESHAYAH 53:10 cf. ASHAM KORBAN) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, once and for all.

¹¹ And every kohen stands daily at his avodas kodesh sherut ministering and offering again and again the same korbanot that can never take away chatta’im;

¹² But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having offered up one korban for chatta’im for all time, YASHAV LIMIN HASHEM ("Sat down at the right hand of G-d Ps 110:1),

¹³ Waiting from that time onward until "OYVAV ("His enemies) be made "a footstool for his feet".

¹⁴ For by one korban he has perfected forever HaMekudashim (the ones being set apart as Kadoshim).

¹⁵ And the Ruach Hakodesh also bears solemn edut to us; for after saying,

¹⁶ ZOT HABRIT ASHER EKHROT with them "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," says the L-rd, "I will put my Torah in the mind of them and I will inscribe it on their heart" Jer 31:33). He then says:

¹⁷ LA’AVONAM U’LECHATTATAM LO EZKAR ("And their wickedness and their sin I will remember no more" Jer 31:34).

¹⁸ Now where there is selicha (forgiveness) for these things, there is no longer a korban for chatta’im.

¹⁹ Therefore, Achim b’Moshiach, having confidence for bevitachon (confidently) entering haSha’ar laHashem (gate to approach G-d’s presence, access of the tzaddikim TEHILLIM 118:20) into the Kodesh HaKodashim by HaDahm HaYehoshua,

²⁰ Which he opened for us as a Derech Chadasha, a Derech Chayyah, through the parokhet, that is to say, the parokhet of the basar of Moshiach. [Ps 16:9-10; Dan 9:26; Isa 53:5-12]

²¹ And als (since) we have a Kohen Gadol over the Beis Hashem,

²² Let us approach and draw near to Hashem with a lev shalem, with full assurance and bitachon of Emunah, our levavot having been sprinkled clean (tehorim) [YAZZEH, "MOSHIACH WILL SPRINKLE," YESHAYAH 52:15] from an evil matzpun (conscience) and our bodies plunged kluhr (pure) into a tevilah in a mikveh mayim [YECHEZKEL 36:25-26].

²³ Let us, without wavering, hold firmly to the Ani Ma’amin of Tikveteinu (our Hope), for Ne’eman is the One having given the havtachah (promise).

²⁴ And let us consider how to meorer (stimulate, motivate, shtarken) one another to ahavah and mitzvos,

²⁵ And let us not turn away and defect from our noiheg (habitually) conducted daily minyan, as some are doing; let us impart chizzuk (strengthening, encouragement) to one another, and by so much the more as you see the Yom [HaDin (Day of Judgment)] approaching.

²⁶ For when we intentionally commit chet b’yad ramah ["wilful sin with a high hand of defiance" BAMIDBAR 15:30] after having received the full da’as of HaEmes, there remains no longer a korban for chattoteinu,

²⁷ But only a terrible expectation of Din and Mishpat and of a blazing EISH TZARECHA TOKHLEM ("Fire that will consume the enemies of Hashem" YESHAYAH 26:11).

²⁸ Anyone who was doiche (rejecting or setting aside) the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu, upon the dvar of SHNI EDIM O AL PI SHLOSHA EDIM ("Testimony of two or three witnesses" DEVARIM 19:15), dies without rachamim.

²⁹ By how much worse onesh (penalty) do you think the one will be considered worthy who trampled on the Ben HaElohim and also treated as mechallel kodesh (profane) the Dahm HaBrit which set him apart mekudash and also committed Chillul Hashem gidduf against the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem’s chesed?

³⁰ For we have da’as of the One who said, LI NAKAM V’SHILEM ("Vengeance is mine and I will repay") [DEVARIM 32:35] and again YADIN HASHEM AMMO ("The L-rd will judge his people" DEVARIM 32:36).

³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Elohim Chayyim.

³² But have zikaron of the yamim mikedem (earlier days) in which, when you had received the Ohr Hashem, you endured a great tzoros, a great “Kristallnacht” of yissurim (suffering),

³³ sometimes being publicly abused with baleidikung (insult) and fargolgung (persecution) yourselves; other times being oppressed chavrusa partners with the ones so treated.

³⁴ For you showed Gemilut Chasadim for the Achim b’Moshiach in the beis hasohar and with simcha you accepted the pogrom-like confiscation of your property because you have da’as that you possess a better and more enduring yerushah (inheritance).

³⁵ Do not discard, then, your bitachon (confident trust) which has gadol sachar (great reward).

³⁶ You are nitzrach (needy) of the kind of zitzfleisch (patience) that has endurance, in order that, having accomplished the ratzon Hashem, you will receive the havtachah (promise).

³⁷ For yet a little while and Hu HaBah [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach] YAVO LO YE’ACHER ("He will come, he will not delay")

³⁸ V’TZADDIK VE’EMUNATO YICHEYEH ("And my tzaddik will live by Emunah"‖CHABAKUK 2:3-4) And, if he shrinks back as a shmad defector, LO YASHRAH NAFSHO BO ("his desire is not upright in him").

³⁹ But we are not of those who shrink back as shmad defectors toward churban destruction, but we are of those with Emunah whose neshamah is preserved in Yeshu’at Eloheinu.

4 Hear this word, ye cows of Bashan, that are on Mt Shomron, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their adonim, Bring, and let us drink.

² Adonoi Hashem hath sworn by His Kodesh, that, hinei, the yamim shall come upon you, that He will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fishhooks.

³ And ye shall go out of the breaks in the wall, every cow right behind the next; and ye shall be cast out toward Harmonah, saith Hashem.

⁴ Come to Beit-El, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply peysha’im; and bring your zevakhim every boker, and your ma’asrot (tithes) every third day;

⁵ And offer a todah thank offering with chametz (leavened bread), and proclaim and publish the nedavot (freewill offerings); for this ye love, O Bnei Yisroel, saith Adonoi Hashem.

⁶ And I also have given you cleanness of teeth [i.e., famine] in all your towns, and want of lechem in all your places; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith Hashem.

⁷ And also I have withheld the geshem from you, when there were yet shloshah chodashim to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one town, and caused it not to rain upon another town; one chelek (part) was rained upon, and the chelek, whereupon it rained not, withered.

⁸ So two or three towns wandered unto one town, to drink mayim; but they were not satisfied; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith Hashem.

⁹ I have struck you with blight and mildew; when your ganim (gardens) and your kramim (vineyards) and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the locust devoured them; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith Hashem.

¹⁰ I have sent among you the dever after the manner of Mitzrayim; your bocherim have I slain with the cherev, and have taken away your susim; and I have made the stench of your machanot to come up unto your nostrils; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith Hashem.

¹¹ I have overthrown some of you, as Elohim overthrew Sodom and Amora (Gomorrah), and ye were like a firebrand snatched from the burning; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith Hashem.

¹² Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Yisroel; and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet Eloheicha, O Yisroel.

¹³ For, hinei, He that formeth the harim, and createth the ruach, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the shachar darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, Hashem Elohei Tzva’os Shmo.

148 Praise Hashem. Praise Hashem from HaShomayim: praise Him in the heights above.

² Praise ye Him, all His malachim: praise ye Him, all Tzivos Hashem.

³ Praise ye Him, shemesh and yarei’ach: praise Him, all ye kokhavim of ohr.

⁴ Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above HaShomayim.

⁵ Let them praise the Shem of Hashem: for He commanded, and they were created.

⁶ He hath also established them forever and ever: He hath made a Chok (decree) which shall not pass away.

⁷ Hallelu Hashem from ha’aretz, ye sea creatures, and all tehomot:

⁸ Eish, and barad; snow, and cloud; stormy wind fulfilling His Devar:

⁹ Mountains, and all hills; etz pri (fruitful trees), and all cedars:

¹⁰ Beasts, and all cattle; remesh (creeping things), and flying fowl:

¹¹ Malchei eretz, and all people; sarim (princes), and all shoftei aretz:

¹² Both bochurim, and betulot; zekenim, and ne’arim:

¹³ Let them praise the Shem of Hashem: for Shmo alone is excellent; His hod is above Eretz and Shomayim.

¹⁴ He also exalteth the keren of His people, tehillah (the praise) of all His Chasidim; even of the Bnei Yisroel, an Am (people) close unto Him. Hallelu Hashem.

149 Praise Hashem. Shiru l’Adonoi shir chadash (Sing unto Hashem a new song), and His praise in the Kahal Chasidim.

² Let Yisroel rejoice in Him that made him; let the Bnei Tziyon be glad in their Melech.

³ Let them praise Shmo in the dance; let them sing zemirot unto Him with the tambourine and kinnor.

⁴ For Hashem taketh pleasure in His people; He will crown the meek with Yeshuah (salvation).

⁵ Let the Chasidim be joyful in kavod; let them sing for joy upon their beds.

⁶ Let the high praises of G-d be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

⁷ To execute vengeance upon the Goyim, and punishments upon the people;

⁸ To bind their melachim with chains, and their nobles with shackles of barzel (iron);

⁹ To execute upon them the mishpat katuv (written judgment); this honor have all His Chasidim. Hallelu Hashem.

150 Praise Hashem. Hallelu El (Praise G-d) in His Kodesh [Beis Hamikdash]; Hallelu Him in the raki’a [see Bereshis 1:6] of His might.

² Hallelu Him for His gevurot (mighty acts); hallelu Him according to His surpassing greatness.

³ Hallelu Him with the sound of the shofar; hallelu Him with the nevel (harp) and kinnor (lyre).

⁴ Hallelu Him with the tambourine and dance; hallelu Him with stringed instruments and flute.

⁵ Hallelu Him upon the clashing cymbals; hallelu Him upon the resounding cymbals.

⁶ Let every thing that hath neshamah praise Hashem. Praise Hashem!
