95 O come, let us sing unto Hashem; let us make a joyful noise to the Tzur of our salvation.

² Let us come before His presence with todah, and extol Him with zemirot (joyful songs).

³ For Hashem is El Gadol, and Melech Gadol above kol elohim (g-ds).

⁴ In His yad are the deep places of ha’aretz; the peaks of the harim are His also.

⁵ The yam is His, and He made it; and His hands formed the yabashah (dry land).

⁶ O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Hashem Oseinu (our Maker).

⁷ For He is Eloheinu; and we are the people of His pasture, and the tzon of His yad. Today if ye will hear His voice,

⁸ Harden not your lev, as in Merivah, and as in the Yom Massah in the midbar;

⁹ When your avot tested Me, tried Me, and saw My work.

¹⁰ Arba’im shanah was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do stray in their lev, and they have no da’as of My ways;

¹¹ Unto whom I swore an oath in My wrath that they should not enter into My menuchah.

²⁷ And it came to pass, that there went out some from HaAm on the yom hashevi’i to gather, and they found none.

²⁸ And Hashem said unto Moshe, How long refuse ye to be shomer over My mitzvot and My torot?

²⁹ See, that Hashem hath given you the Shabbos, therefore He giveth you on yom hashishi lechem for two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out from his place on yom hashevi’i.

³⁰ So HaAm rested on yom hashevi’i.

³¹ And Bais Yisroel called the shem thereof Manna; and it was like coriander seed, lavan (white); and the taste of it was like flat cakes fried in devash.

³² And Moshe said, This is the thing which Hashem commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be mishmeret (kept) for your dorot; that they may see the lechem wherewith I have fed you in the midbar, when I brought you forth from Eretz Mitzrayim.

³³ And Moshe said unto Aharon, Take a jar, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before Hashem, to be kept for your dorot.

³⁴ As Hashem commanded Moshe, so Aharon laid it up before the Edut (the [Ark] of the Testimony), for mishmeret (to be kept).

³⁵ And the Bnei Yisroel did eat manna arba’im shanah, until they came to an eretz noshavet (an inhabited land); they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of Eretz Kena’an.

4 Therefore when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach knew that the Perushim heard that he makes more talmidim and administers the tevilah of teshuva to more talmidim than Yochanan,

² Although Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach himself did not personally administer the mikveh mayim’s tevilah—this was administered by his talmidim,

³ Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach left the land of Yehudah and departed again into the Galil.

⁴ And it was necessary for him to pass through Shomron.

⁵ Therefore, he comes into a city of Shomron being called Sh’khem near the field which Ya’akov Avinu had given to Yosef Ben Ya’akov. [Gn 33:19; 48:22; Josh 24:32]

⁶ Now a be’er (well) of Ya’akov was there. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having become weary from his journey was sitting there at the be’er. The sha’ah (hour, time) was about hashishit (the sixth, noon).
