Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

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).

¹⁶ Moreover He called for a ra’av (famine) upon ha’aretz; He broke the kol matteh (whole staff of, all supply of) lechem.

¹⁷ He sent an ish before them, even Yosef, who was sold as an eved (slave);

¹⁸ Whose regel they hurt with the kevel (shackle); his nefesh was laid in barzel;

¹⁹ Until the time that his dvar (prophecy, word) came to pass; the Imrat Hashem (revelation, word of G-d, i.e., revelation of that which set forth saving promises) had tested him.

²⁰ The Melech sent and released him, the Moshel Amim, and set him free.

²¹ He made him adon of his bais, and moshel of all his possessions;

²² To bind [in prison] his sarim (princes) at his pleasure; and teach his zekenim chochmah.

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

36 Now these are the toldot Esav, who is Edom.

² Esav took his nashim of the Banot Kena’an: Adah Bat Elon the Chitti, and Oholivamah Bat Anah Bat Tziveon the Chivvi;

³ And Basemat Bat Yishma’el, achot Nevayot.

⁴ And Adah bore to Esav Eliphaz; and Basemat bore Reuel;

⁵ And Oholivamah bore Yeush, and Ya’alam, and Korach; these are the Bnei Esav, which were born unto him in Eretz Kena’an.

⁶ And Esav took his nashim, and his banim, and his banot, and kol nafshot of his bais, and his mikneh, and all his behemah, and all his possessions, which he had acquired in Eretz Kena’an; and went into the eretz from the face of Ya’akov achiv.

⁷ For their wealth was more than that they might dwell together; and the eretz of their sojourns could not support them because of their mikneh.

⁸ Thus dwelt Esav in har Seir; Esav is Edom.

²⁴ Now a certain man, a Yehudi, arrived in Ephesus, Apollos by name, hailing from Alexandria, a lamdan (a Torah scholar with prodigious knowledge), being tief (deep and profound, erudite, keen) in the Kitvei HaKodesh.

²⁵ This one had been taught the Derech Hashem and was on fire in the Ruach Hakodesh and saying shiurim and drashot accurate and true to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. But Rav Apollos was acquainted only with the tevilah of teshuva of Yochanan [see Lk 3:16].

²⁶ And this rabbi began to speak with ometz lev (boldness) in the shul. And having heard him, Priscilla and Aquila took him and more accurately instructed him in the Derech Hashem.

²⁷ When Rav Apollos desired to go to Achaia, the Achim b’Moshiach encouraged him and wrote iggrot to Moshiach’s talmidim there to welcome him. When Rav Apollos arrived, he greatly helped the ones who through the Chen v’Chesed Hashem had come to emunah.

²⁸ For Rav Apollos was publicly and powerfully refuting the [unbelieving] Yehudim, showing through the Kitvei HaKodesh that Yehoshua is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
