⁹ He is the One who set nafsheinu in chayyim and does not permit ragleinu (our foot) to slip.

¹⁰ For Thou, Elohim, hath tested us and hast proved us; Thou hast put us in the crucible’s refining and refined us as kesef.

¹¹ Thou broughtest us into the metzudah (prison); Thou laidst a mu’akah (burden) upon our loins.

¹² Thou hast caused enosh (mankind) to ride over rosheinu (our head); we went through eish and through mayim; but Thou broughtest us out into plenty.

¹³ I will come into Thy Beis [HaMikdash] with olot; I will fulfill for Thee my nedarim,

¹⁴ Which my sfatayim have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in tzoros.

¹⁵ I will offer unto Thee olot mekhim (burnt offerings of fat animals), with the ketoret (incense, offering) of rams; I will offer bakar with goats. Selah.

¹⁹ But surely Elohim hath heard me; He hath attended to the kol tefillati (voice of my prayer).

¹³ And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the mayim were dried up from off ha’aretz; and Noach removed the mikhseh (covering) of the tevah (ark), and looked, and, hinei, the surface of the adamah was dry.

¹⁴ And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was ha’aretz dry.

¹⁵ And Elohim spoke unto Noach, saying,

¹⁶ Go forth of the tevah (ark), thou, and thy isha, and thy banim, and the nashim of thy banim with thee.

¹⁷ Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of kol basar, both of bird, and of behemah, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon ha’aretz; that they may multiply abundantly on ha’aretz, and be fruitful, and increase upon ha’aretz.

¹⁸ And Noach went forth, and his banim, and his isha, and the nashim of his banim with him;

¹⁹ Every animal, every remes, and every bird, and whatsoever creepeth upon ha’aretz, after their kinds, went forth out of the tevah (ark).

²⁷ Shalom Hashem I leave with you, my Shalom I give to you, [BAMIDBAR 6:26; TEHILLIM 85:8; MALACHI 2:6] not as the Olam Hazeh gives, I give to you; let not your levavot be troubled [14:1], nor let them be ones of morech lev (cowardliness, Rv 21:8). [CHAGGAI 2:9 TARGUM HASHIVIM]

²⁸ You heard me say to you, I am going [14:12], and I am coming to you [14:18]. If you were having ahavah for me, you would have simcha, because I go to HaAv, for HaAv is greater than me [Yn 1:1, 14].

²⁹ And now I have told you before it happens, that when it happens, you may have emunah (faith).
