105 O give thanks unto Hashem; call upon Shmo; make known His deeds among the amim.

² Sing unto Him, sing praise unto Him; talk ye of all His nifle’ot (wondrous works).

³ Glory ye in the Shem Kadosh of Him; let the lev of them that seek Hashem be glad.

⁴ Seek Hashem, and His oz (strength); seek His face tamid.

⁵ Remember His nifla’ot (marvellous works) that He hath done; His mofetim (wonders), and the mishpatim of His mouth;

⁶ O ye zera Avraham His eved, ye Bnei Ya’akov His Bechirim (chosen ones).

⁷ He is Hashem Eloheinu; His mishpatim are in kol ha’aretz.

⁸ He hath remembered His Brit l’olam, the Dvar which He commanded to an elef dor (a thousand generations)

⁹ Which Brit He made with Avraham, and His shevu’ah (oath) unto Yitzchak;

¹⁰ And confirmed the same unto Ya’akov for a chok (decree), and to Yisroel as Brit Olam;

¹¹ Saying, Unto thee will I give Eretz Kena’an, the chevel (lot, portion) of your nachalah.

⁴⁵ That they might be shomer over His chukkot, and observe His torot (laws). Praise Hashem.

29 Then Ya’akov went on his journey, and came into the eretz of the bnei kedem.

² And he looked, and hinei a be’er in the sadeh, and, hinei, there were shloshah edrei tzon lying by it; for out of that be’er they watered the edarim: and a great even (stone) was upon the mouth of the be’er.

³ And to there were all the edarim gathered: and they rolled the even (stone) from the mouth of the be’er, and watered the tzon, and put the even (stone) again upon the mouth of the be’er in its place.

⁴ And Ya’akov said unto them, My brethren, where are you from? And they said, Of Charan are we.

⁵ And he said unto them, Know ye Lavan ben Nachor? And they said, We know him.

⁶ And he said unto them, Is the shalom with him? And they said, Shalom; and, hinei, Rachel his bat cometh with the tzon.

⁷ And he said, Look, the sun is still high, neither is it time that the flock should be gathered together; water ye the tzon, and go and feed them.

⁸ And they said, We cannot, until all the edarim be gathered together, and till they roll the even (stone) from the mouth of the be’er; then we water the tzon.

¹⁴ The purpose of this iggeret is not to bring you under bushah (shame). I write these things as admonishing my beloved yeladim.

¹⁵ For, though you may have in Moshiach morei derech numbering ten thousand, you have not many avot, for in Moshiach through the Besuras HaGeulah I [T.N. Notice 1C4:6 indicates the canon of inerrant Scripture is closed and may not be added to.] became your abba.

¹⁶ Therefore, I encourage you, imitate me.

¹⁷ Because of this very thing, I sent Timotiyos to you who is my beni haahuv (beloved son) and ne’eman (faithful), trustworthy in Hashem, who will remind you of my derech baKodesh in Moshiach, even as I give shiurim everywhere in every kehillah.

¹⁸ Now as to my coming to you, some were puffed up, [YIRMEYAH 43:2]

¹⁹ But I will come shortly to you, im yirtzeh Hashem (if the L-rd wills), and I will find out not the speech of the ones having been puffed up but the ko’ach (power).

²⁰ For the Malchut Hashem depends not on the talk [of the ish sefatayim (the eloquent speaker)] but on ko’ach (power).
