³ His po’al (deed, work) is glorious and majestic; and His tzedakah (righteousness) endureth forever.

⁴ He hath caused His nifla’ot (wonderful works) to be remembered; Hashem is channun (gracious) and rachum (compassionate).

⁵ He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will be mindful of His Brit (covenant) l’olam.

⁶ He hath showed His people the ko’ach of His works, that He may give them the nachalat Goyim.

⁷ The works of His hands are emes and mishpat; all His pikkudim (precepts, commands) are ne’emanim (sure, trustworthy ones).

⁸ They stand fast la’ad l’olam (forever and ever), and are done in emes and yashar (uprightness).

⁹ He sent redemption unto His people; He hath ordained His Brit (covenant) l’olam (forever); Kadosh (holy) and Nora (awesome, reverend) is Shmo.

¹⁰ The fear of Hashem is the reshit chochmah; seichel tov have all they that live by it; His tehillah (praise) endureth forever.

³³ And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and unto Aharon, saying,

³⁴ When ye be come into Eretz Kena’an, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the nega tzara’at in a bais of the eretz of your possession;

³⁵ And he that owneth the bais shall come and tell the kohen, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a nega (plague) in the bais;

³⁶ Then the kohen shall command that they empty the bais, before the kohen go into it to examine the nega, that all that is in the bais be not made tamei; and afterward the kohen shall go in to examine the bais,

³⁷ And he shall examine the nega, and, hinei, if the nega be in the walls of the bais with depressions, greenish or reddish, which in appearance are deeper than the surface of the wall,

³⁸ Then the kohen shall go out of the bais to the entrance of the bais, and quarantine the bais seven days;

³⁹ And the kohen shall come again the yom hashevi’i, and shall inspect; and, hinei, if the nega be spread in the walls of the bais,

⁴⁰ Then the kohen shall command that they tear down the stones in which the nega is, and they shall throw them into a makom tamei outside the town;

⁴¹ And he shall cause the bais to be scraped within around, and they shall pour out the afar (dust) that they scrape off outside the town into a makom tamei;

⁴² And they shall take other stones, and make them replace those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the bais.

⁴³ And if the nega come again, and break out in the bais, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the bais, and after it is plastered,

⁴⁴ Then the kohen shall come and inspect, and, hinei, if the nega be spread in the bais, it is a malignant tzara’at in the bais; it is tamei.

⁴⁵ And he shall tear down the bais, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the bais; and he shall carry them forth out of the town into a makom tamei.

⁴⁶ Moreover he that goeth into the bais all the while that it is quarantined shall be tamei until erev.

⁴⁷ And he that reclineth in the bais shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the bais shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ And if the kohen shall come in, and examine it, and, hinei, the nega hath not spread in the bais, after the bais was plastered, then the kohen shall pronounce the bais tahor (clean), because the nega is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take to purify the bais two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet thread, and hyssop;

⁵⁰ And he shall kill (shachat) the one of the birds in a clay vessel over mayim chayyim (running water);

⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet thread, and the living bird, and dip them in the dahm of the slain bird, and in the mayim chayyim (running water), and sprinkle the bais seven times;

⁵² And he shall cleanse the bais with the dahm of the bird, and with the mayim hachayyim (running water), and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet thread;

⁵³ But he shall release the living bird outside the town into the open field, and make kapporah for the bais; and it shall be tahor.

¹³ Follow the pattern of sound orthodox Jewish devarim which you heard from me, in emunah and ahavah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

¹⁴ Stand shomer over the orthodox Jewish pikkadon entrusted to you through the Ruach Hakodesh dwelling in us.

¹⁵ Of this you have da’as: all the ones in Asia, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes, turned away from me.

¹⁶ May Hashem grant rachamim to the bais of Onesiphorus, because often he refreshed me and he was not ashamed of my sharsherot.

¹⁷ For, when he was in Rome, he sought me with zerizut and found me.

¹⁸ May Adoneinu grant to him to find rachamim from Hashem in HaYom HaHu. [1:12]. Also, while in Ephesus in how many ways he did avodas hakodesh you know very well.
