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).
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.
12 When they were but few in mispar (number), very few, and gerim (strangers) in it.
13 When they went from one goy (nation) to another, from one mamlachah (kingdom) to am acher (another people);
14 He permitted no adam to oppress them; and He reproved melachim for their sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not Mine meshichim (anointed ones, My Messianics), and do My nevi’im no harm.
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.
23 Yisroel also came into Mitzrayim; thus Ya’akov sojourned in Eretz Cham.
24 And He increased Amo (His people) greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their lev to hate Amo, to deal cunningly with His avadim.
26 He sent Moshe His Eved; and Aharon whom He had chosen.
27 They showed His Otot (signs) among them, and mofetim (wonders) in Eretz Cham.
28 He sent choshech, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against His Devar.
29 He turned their mayim into dahm, and made their dag (fish) die.
30 Their land brought forth tzfarde’im (frogs) in abundance, even in the chadarim (rooms) of their melachim.
31 He spoke, and there came arov (flies), and kinim (lice) in all their territory.
32 He gave them barad (hail) for geshem (rain), and eish of lightning in their land.
33 He struck down their gefen also and their te’enah (fig tree); and broke the trees of their territory.
34 He spoke, and the arbeh (locusts) came, and grasshoppers, and that without number,
35 And did eat up all the esev (herbs) in their land, and devoured their p’ri adamah (fruit of the ground).
36 He struck down also kol bechor in their land, the reshit (firstfruit) of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with kesef and zahav; and there was not one stumbling among His Shvatim (tribes).
38 Mitzrayim was glad when they departed; for the pachad (terror, dread) of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread an anan for a curtain; and eish to give light in the lailah.
40 The people asked, and He brought slav (quails), and satisfied them with the lechem Shomayim.
41 He opened the Tzur, and the mayim gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a nahar.
42 For He remembered His Davar Kadosh, and Avraham His eved.
10 But Kol HaEdah talked of stoning them with avanim. And the Kavod Hashem appeared in the Ohel Mo’ed before Kol Bnei Yisroel.
11 And Hashem said unto Moshe, How long will this people treat Me with contempt? And how long will it be until they believe in Me, for all the otot which I have performed among them?
12 I will strike them down with dever (pestilence), and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 And Moshe said unto Hashem, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for Thou broughtest up this people in Thy ko’ach [might] from among them;)
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land; for they have heard that Thou Hashem art among this people, that Thou Hashem art seen eye to eye, and that Thy Anan standeth over them, and that Thou goest before them, by day in an Ammud Anan, and in an Ammud Eish by night.
15 Now if Thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the Goyim which have heard the fame of Thee will speak, saying,
16 Because Hashem was not able to bring this people into HaAretz which He promised them by oath, therefore He hath slaughtered (shachat) them in the midbar.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the Ko’ach Adonoi be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying,
18 Hashem is slow of anger, and of rav chesed, forgiving avon and peysha, and by no means exonerating the guilty, visiting the avon of the avot upon the banim unto the third and fourth generation.
19 Selach (forgive!), I beseech thee, the avon of this people according unto the greatness of Thy chesed, just as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Mitzrayim even until now.
20 And Hashem said, I have pardoned according to thy word [of petition]:
21 But as surely as I live, Kol HaAretz (all the Earth) shall be filled with the Kavod Hashem.
22 Because all those men which have seen My kavod, and My otot (miraculous signs), which I performed in Mitzrayim and in the midbar, and have tested Me now these ten times, and have not paid heed to My voice;
23 Surely they shall not see HaAretz which I swore unto their avot, neither shall any of them that treated Me with contempt see it:
24 But Avdi Kalev, because he hath a ruach acheret in him, and hath followed after Me fully, him will I bring into HaAretz whereinto he went; and his zera shall inherit it.
10 I do not want you to be without da’as, Achim b’Moshiach, that Avoteinu all were under the anan (cloud, SHEMOT 13:21-22) and passed through the sea [SHEMOT 14:22-25],
2 And all into Moshe Rabbenu were given tevilah in the anan (cloud) and in the sea,
3 And all of the same spiritual okhel (food) ate [SHEMOT 16:4,35; DEVARIM 8:3; TEHILLIM 78:24-29],
4 And all of the same spiritual drink drank, for they were drinking from a spiritual TZUR following them [SHEMOT 17:6; BAMIDBAR 20:11; TEHILLIM 78:15; 105:41], and that TZUR was Moshiach.
5 But Hashem was not pleased with most of them, for they were strewn about in the desert, VAYISHCHATEM BAMIDBAR ("then He slaughtered them in the desert" [BAMIDBAR 14:16, 23,29-30; TEHILLIM 78:31).
6 Now these things occurred as moftim (examples) for us, in order that we would not crave what is ra’ah as they did. [BAMIDBAR 11:4,34; TEHILLIM 106:14]
7 Neither should you become ovdei elilim (idolaters), as some of them did, as it has been written, "And the people sat to eat and to drink and they got up to revel” SHEMOT 32:6.
8 Neither should we commit zenut as some of them committed zenut and fell in one day twenty-three thousand [BAMIDBAR 25:1,9]. [T.N. if Rav Sha’ul is not giving the number that died in one day, a very famous and devastating twenty-four hour period, (with BAMIDBAR 25:4 mentioning other executions and the subsequent total being 24,000 [Bamidbar 24:9]), then Rav Sha’ul is referring to those who died in Shemot 32:35, quoting as he does Shemot 32:6 in 1C 10:7]
9 Neither let us tempt Moshiach, as some of them put Moshiach to the test, and by nechashim (serpents) were being destroyed [Ex 17:2; Num 21:5-6; Ps 78:18; 95:9; 106:4; ].
10 Neither should we murmur and grumble even as some of them VAYILONU ("and they murmured’ SHEMOT 15:24; 16:2; 17:3; BAMIDBAR 14:2,29; 16:41) and they were destroyed by the destroyer (Num 14:2,36; 16:41-49; 17:5,10; Ex 12:23 Ps 106:25-27).
11 Now, these things happened to those ones as moftim (examples), but it was written for our admonition, to whom the Kitzei HaOlamim has come.
12 So then the one that presupposes that he stands, let him take care lest he fall.
13 No nissayon (temptation) has overtaken you, except that which is common to Bnei Adam, but, Hashem is ne’eman (faithful) (DEVARIM 7:9), who will not let you to be brought into nissayon beyond what you are able, but will make with the nissayon also the derech (Tzaddikim TEHILLIM 1:6) as a way out for you to be able to endure.
