Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
20 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid) Hashem hear thee in the Yom Tzarah (day of trouble); the Shem Elohei Ya’akov set thee up on high [i.e., out of reach of your enemies];
2 Send thee help from the Kodesh (Holy Sanctuary), and strengthen thee out of Tziyon;
3 Remember all thy minchot, and accept thy olat; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own levav, and fulfil kol etzah (plan, counsel) of thine.
5 We will shout for joy at thy Yeshuah (salvation), and in the Shem of Eloheinu we will lift up our banners; Hashem grant all thy requests.
6 Now I have da’as that Hashem hoshi’a (He saves) His Moshiach; He will answer him from His Sh’mei Kodesh (Holy Heaven) with the saving strength of His right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some susim: but we will trust in the Shem Hashem Eloheinu.
8 They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen up, and stand firm.
9 Hoshi’ah, Hashem, HaMelech! May He hear us on the day when we call.
40 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the Mishkan Ohel Mo’ed.
3 And thou shalt place therein the Aron HaEdut, and thou shalt cover so as to screen the Aron with the Parochet.
4 And thou shalt bring in the Shulchan, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the Menorah, and kindle the Nerot thereof.
5 And thou shalt place the Mizbe’ach Hazahav L’Ketoret before the Aron HaEdut, and set up the Masach HaPetach LaMishkan.
6 And thou shalt set the Mizbe’ach HaOlah before the Petach Mishkan Ohel Mo’ed.
7 And thou shalt set the Kiyor between the Ohel Mo’ed and the Mizbe’ach, and shalt place mayim therein.
8 And thou shalt set up the khatzer (court) all around, and hang up the Masach Sha’ar Hakhatzer.
9 And thou shalt take the Shemen HaMishchah, and anoint the Mishkan, and all that is therein, and shalt set it apart as kodesh, and all the utensils thereof; and it shall be kodesh.
10 And thou shalt anoint the Mizbe’ach HaOlah, and all its utensils, and set apart as kodesh the Mizbe’ach: and it shall be Mizbe’ach kodesh kodashim.
11 And thou shalt anoint the Kiyor and its Stand, and set it apart as kodesh.
12 And thou shalt bring near Aharon and his banim unto the Petach Ohel Mo’ed, and immerse them with mayim.
13 And thou shalt dress Aharon with the Bigdei Hakodesh, and anoint him, and set him apart as kodesh; that he may minister unto Me in the kohen’s office.
14 And thou shalt bring near his banim, and dress them with kuttanot:
15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their av, that they may minister unto Me in the kohen’s office: for their anointing shall surely be for them a kehunat olam throughout their dorot.
19 Therefore, Achim b’Moshiach, having confidence for bevitachon (confidently) entering haSha’ar laHashem (gate to approach G-d’s presence, access of the tzaddikim TEHILLIM 118:20) into the Kodesh HaKodashim by HaDahm HaYehoshua,
20 Which he opened for us as a Derech Chadasha, a Derech Chayyah, through the parokhet, that is to say, the parokhet of the basar of Moshiach. [Ps 16:9-10; Dan 9:26; Isa 53:5-12]
21 And als (since) we have a Kohen Gadol over the Beis Hashem,
22 Let us approach and draw near to Hashem with a lev shalem, with full assurance and bitachon of Emunah, our levavot having been sprinkled clean (tehorim) [YAZZEH, "MOSHIACH WILL SPRINKLE," YESHAYAH 52:15] from an evil matzpun (conscience) and our bodies plunged kluhr (pure) into a tevilah in a mikveh mayim [YECHEZKEL 36:25-26].
23 Let us, without wavering, hold firmly to the Ani Ma’amin of Tikveteinu (our Hope), for Ne’eman is the One having given the havtachah (promise).
24 And let us consider how to meorer (stimulate, motivate, shtarken) one another to ahavah and mitzvos,
25 And let us not turn away and defect from our noiheg (habitually) conducted daily minyan, as some are doing; let us impart chizzuk (strengthening, encouragement) to one another, and by so much the more as you see the Yom [HaDin (Day of Judgment)] approaching.
