Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

²³ Though He had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the daletei Shomayim (doors of heaven),

²⁴ And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the bread of Shomayim [see Yn 6:31 OJBC].

²⁵ Ish did eat the bread of angels; He sent them lechem to the full.

²⁶ He caused an east wind to blow from Shomayim; and by His oz He brought in the south wind.

²⁷ He rained meat also upon them like aphar, and winged fowls like the chol (sand) of the sea;

²⁸ And He let it fall in the midst of their machaneh, all around their mishkenot (habitations).

²⁹ So they did eat, and were well filled; for He gave them their own ta’avah (evil desire).

³ And Moshe said unto HaAm, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Mitzrayim, out of the bais avadim; for by chozek yad Hashem brought you out from this place; there shall no chametz be eaten.

⁴ This day came ye out in the month Aviv.

⁵ And it shall be when Hashem shall bring thee into the land of the Kena’ani, and the Chitti, and the Emori, and the Chivi, and the Yevusi, which He swore unto thy Avot to give thee, an eretz flowing with cholov and devash, that thou shalt observe this avodah (service) in this month.

⁶ Shivat yamim thou shalt eat matzot, and in the seventh day shall be a Chag (Feast) to Hashem.

⁷ Matzot shall be eaten shivat hayamim; and there shall no chametz be seen with thee, neither shall there be se’or seen with thee within all thy borders.

⁸ And thou shalt show thy ben in that day, saying, This is because of what Hashem did for me when I came forth out of Mitzrayim.

⁹ And it shall be for an ot (sign) unto thee upon thine yad, and for a zikaron (reminder) between thine eyes, in order that the torat Hashem may be in thy mouth; because with a yad chazakah hath Hashem brought thee out of Mitzrayim.

¹⁰ Thou shalt therefore be shomer over this chukkah in its mo’ed (season, fixed time) perpetually.

⁵ When the Moshiach’s talmidim arrived at the other side, they had forgotten to take lechem.

⁶ But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Take special precaution against the chametz (swelling leaven) of the Perushim and Tzedukim.

⁷ But they began reasoning among themselves, saying, We took no lechem.

⁸ But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, aware of their machshavot (thoughts), said, You men of little emunah, why do you reason among yourselves that you have no lechem?

⁹ Do you not yet have binah or remember the five loaves of the chamesh elafim (five thousand), and how many baskets full you took up?

¹⁰ Or the shevah loaves of the arbaat elafim (four thousand), and how many large baskets full you took up?

¹¹ How is it that you do not chap (grasp mentally) that I did not speak to you concerning lechem? But beware of the chametz (swelling [like evil, like gaavah, pride], all-permeating leaven) of the Perushim and Tzedukim.

¹² Then Moshiach’s talmidim understood that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not say to beware of the chametz of the lechem, but of the chametz of the teaching of the Perushim and the Tzedukim.
