Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

99 Hashem reigneth; let the nations tremble; He sitteth between the keruvim; let ha’aretz be shaken.

² Hashem is great in Tziyon; and He is high above all the nations.

³ Let them praise Thy Shem gadol v’nora; for it is kadosh.

⁴ The Mighty King also loveth mishpat; Thou dost establish equity, Thou executest mishpat and tzedakah in Ya’akov.

⁵ Exalt ye Hashem Eloheinu, and worship at His footstool; for He is kadosh.

⁶ Moshe and Aharon among His kohanim, and Shmuel among them that call upon Shmo; they called upon Hashem, and He answered them.

⁷ He spoke unto them in the ammud anan (pillar of cloud); they were shomer over His statutes, and the chok (ordinance) that He gave them.

⁸ Thou answeredst them, Hashem Eloheinu; Thou wast El (G-d) that forgavest them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

⁹ Exalt Hashem Eloheinu, and worship at His Har Kodesh; for Hashem Eloheinu is kadosh.

31 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

² See, I have called by shem Bezalel ben Uri, ben Chur, of the tribe of Yehudah;

³ And I have filled him with the Ruach Elohim (see Ac 2:4), in chochmah, and in tevunah, and in da’as, and in kol melachah (all workmanship),

⁴ To devise machashavot (artistic designs), to work in zahav, and in kesef, and in nechoshet,

⁵ And in engraving gemstones, to set them, and in wood-carving, to work in kol melachah (all manner of workmanship).

⁶ And I, hinei, I have given with him Oholiav ben Achisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all chacham lev I have put chochmah, that they may make all that I have commanded thee:

⁷ The Ohel Mo’ed, and the Aron HaEdut, and the Kapporet that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the Ohel,

⁸ And the Shulchan and its utensils, and the Menorah Hatehorah with all its utensils, and the Mizbe’ach HaKetoret,

⁹ And the Mizbe’ach HaOlah with all its utensils, and the Kiyor and its Stand,

¹⁰ And the Bigdei Haserad (Knit Garments), and the Bigdei HaKodesh for Aharon the kohen, and the garments of his banim, to minister in the kohen’s office,

¹¹ And the Shemen Hamishchah, and Ketoret spices for HaKodesh; according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

5 Therefore, I give this word of chozek to the Zekenim (Elders [see SHEMOT 12:21]) among you I, as a fellow Zaken (Elder) and as an Eidus (Witness) of the sevalot (sufferings) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and also as a partaker of the Kavod about to be unveiled:

² Exercise the avodas hakodesh ministry of Ro’eh (Shepherd) on behalf of the Eder Hashem (Flock of G-d [YIRMEYAH 13:17]) among you, serving as Mashgichim Ruchaniyim (Spiritual Overseers), not unwillingly, for the sake of dishonest gelt, but willingly, eagerly, in conformity with Hashem,

³ Not as domineering the ones assigned by Hashem to your oversight, but being a mofet (example) for the tzon (flock).

⁴ After the Sar HaRo’im (Chief of Shepherds) has been manifested [1:20], you will receive the unfading Ateret HaKavod (Crown of Glory).

⁵ Likewise, bochrim (young men), be submissive to the Zekenim (Elders) and clothe yourselves in the kaftan of anavah (humility) toward one another, because IM LALETZIM HU YALITZ V’LA’ANAYIM YITEN CHEN ("Indeed Hashem scorns the scorners, but gives grace to the humble” MISHLE 3:34).
