Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
33 Teach me, Hashem, the derech of Thy chukkot; and I shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep Thy torah; yes, I shall be shomer over it with my kol lev.
35 Make me to go in the path of Thy mitzvot; for therein do I delight.
36 Incline my lev unto Thy edot, and not to betza (covetousness, selfish gain).
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding shav (vanity); and revive Thou me in Thy derech.
38 Establish Thy word unto Thy eved, which is for the fear of Thee.
39 Turn away my cherpah (reproach) which I fear; for Thy mishpatim are tovim.
40 Hinei, I have longed after Thy precepts; revive me in Thy tzedakah. VAV
10 And the ben isha Yisroelit, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the Bnei Yisroel; and this ben isha Yisroeli and a man of Yisroel fought together in the machaneh;
11 And the ben haisha Yisroelit pronounced HaShem and blasphemed in a curse. And they brought him unto Moshe; (and shem immo was Shlomit bat Divri, of the tribe of Dan;)
12 And they put him in custody, that the mind of Hashem might be showed them.
13 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
14 Bring forth him that hath blasphemed outside the machaneh; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let kol HaEdah stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, Whosoever curseth Elohav shall bear his chet.
16 And he that blasphemeth the Shem of Hashem, he shall surely be put to death, and kol HaEdah shall certainly stone him; as well the ger, as the ezrach, when he blasphemeth the Shem of Hashem, shall be put to death.
17 And he that taketh the nefesh of any man shall surely be put to death.
18 And he that taketh the nefesh of a beast shall make it good; nefesh tachat nefesh.
19 And if a man cause a mum in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
20 Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a mum in an adam, so shall it be done to him.
21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restitute it; and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
22 Ye shall have mishpat echad, as well for the ger, as for the ezrach: for I am Hashem Eloheichem.
23 And Moshe spoke to the Bnei Yisroel, that they should bring forth him that had blasphemed out of the machaneh, and stone him with stones. And the Bnei Yisroel did as Hashem commanded Moshe.
7 Judge not lest you be judged.
2 For with what gezar din (verdict) you judge, you will be judged, and with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
3 And why do you see the speck in the eye of your Ach [b’Moshiach], but you do not consider the beam in your own eye.
4 Or how will you say to your Ach [b’Moshiach], Let me take the speck out from your eye! (And, hinei! The beam is in your own eye!)
5 Tzevua (hypocrite), first take the beam out of your eye, and then you will see clearly enough to take out the speck from the eye of your Ach [b’Moshiach].
6 Do not give the kodesh to kelevim nor throw your pearls before chazirim, lest they will trample them with their feet and turn around and tear you into pieces.
7 Keep asking and it shall be given to you; keep searching and you shall find; keep knocking and the delet shall be opened to you.
8 For everyone asking receives, and the one searching finds, and to the one knocking the delet will be opened.
9 Or what man is there among you the ben of whom will ask for lechem (bread), and he will give him a stone.
10 Or if he asks for a dag (fish), will give him a nachash (snake)?
11 Therefore, if you, being ra’im (evil ones), know to give matanot tovot (good gifts) to your yeladim, how much more does your Av shbaShomayim give hatov (the good) to the ones asking Him.
12 Therefore, everything that you wish Bnei Adam do for you, thus also you do for them. For this is the Torah and the Neviim.
