100 A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout to Jehovah, all the earth.

² Serve Jehovah with joy, come before him with singing.

³ Know that Jehovah He [is] God, He made us, and we are His, His people -- and the flock of His pasture.

⁴ Enter ye His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise, Give ye thanks to Him, bless ye His Name.

⁵ For good [is] Jehovah, to the age His kindness, And to generation and generation His faithfulness!

²⁸ And it cometh to pass in the day of Jehovah's speaking unto Moses in the land of Egypt,

²⁹ that Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, `I [am] Jehovah, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking unto thee.'

³⁰ And Moses saith before Jehovah, `Lo, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how doth Pharaoh hearken unto me?'

7 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy prophet;

² thou -- thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel out of his land.

³ `And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,

⁴ and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;

⁵ and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.'

⁶ And Moses doth -- Aaron also -- as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;

⁷ and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.

⁸ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

⁹ `When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh -- it becometh a monster.'

¹⁰ And Moses goeth in -- Aaron also -- unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.

¹¹ And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers; and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do so,

¹² and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters, and the rod of Aaron swalloweth their rods;

¹³ and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.

7 And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

² and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands -- that is, unwashed -- eating bread, they found fault;

³ for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

⁴ and, [coming] from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.

⁵ Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, `Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'

⁶ and he answering said to them -- `Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from Me;

⁷ and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;

⁸ for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'

⁹ And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

¹⁰ for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

¹¹ and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,

¹² and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,

¹³ setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'
