⁵ until I find a place for Yah Veh - tabernacles for the Almighty of Yaaqov.

² Bear the heads of the sons of Qehath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by the house of their fathers, ³ sons of thirty years and upward to sons of fifty years, all going to the host, to work the work in the tent of the congregation. ⁴ This is the service of the sons of Qehath in the tent of the congregation, the holy of holies: ⁵ and when the camp pulls stakes, Aharon and his sons come and lower the covering veil and cover the ark of witness with it: ⁶ and give thereon the covering of skins of badgers and spread over it a cloth totally blue and put in the staves thereof: ⁷ and on the table of face bread spread a cloth of blue and give thereon the dishes and the spoons and the exoneration basins and covers of libation: and the continual bread thereon: ⁸ and they spread on them a cloth of scarlet and cover the same with a covering of skins of badgers and put in the staves thereof: ⁹ and take a cloth of blue and cover the menorah of the light and his lamps and his tongs and his trays and all the oil instruments thereof: wherewith they minister to it: ¹⁰ and give it and all the instruments thereof within a covering of skins of badgers and give it on a pole: ¹¹ and on the golden sacrifice altar spread a cloth of blue and cover it with a covering of skins of badgers and put in the staves thereof: ¹² and take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the holies and give them in a cloth of blue and cover them with a covering of skins of badgers and give them on a pole: ¹³ and de-fat the sacrifice altar and spread a purple cloth thereon: ¹⁴ and give thereon all the instruments thereof wherewith they minister - the trays, the forks and the shovels and the sprinklers - all the instruments of the sacrifice altar; and spread thereon a covering of skins of badgers and put in the staves thereof. ¹⁵ And Aharon and his sons finish covering the holies and all the instruments of the holies, as the camp pulls stakes. Afterward, the sons of Qehath come to bear it: but they touch not the holies, lest they die. - these are the burden of the sons of Qehath in the tent of the congregation.

¹⁹ but work thus to them, that they live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Aharon and his sons go in and set them man by man to his service and to his burden: ²⁰ but they go not in to see when the holies are swallowed, lest they die.

⁹ and to the sons of Qehath he gives none: because the service of the holies belongs to them and that they bear on their shoulders.

¹³ and stand the Leviym at the face of Aharon and at the face of his sons and wave them for a wave to Yah Veh. ¹⁴ Thus you separate the Leviym from among the sons of Yisra El: and the Leviym become mine.

²⁴ This is for the Leviym from a son of twenty-five years and upward: they go in to host the hosting of the tent of the congregation: ²⁵ and a son of fifty years they turn away from hosting the service to serve no more: ²⁶ but minister with their brothers in the tent of the congregation to guard the guard, but serve no service. Work thus to the Leviym regarding their guard.

And Yah Veh says to Aharon, You, with your sons and the house of your father bear the perversity of the holies: and you, with your sons bear the perversity of your priesthood: ² and also your brothers of the rod of Levi, the scion of your father, oblate with you: they join to you and minister to you: and you, with your sons at the face of the tent of witness: ³ and they guard your guard and the guard of all the tent: only they approach not the instruments of the holies and the sacrifice altar so that they not die - neither they, nor you: ⁴ and they join you and guard the guard of the tent of the congregation, for all the service of the tent so that no stranger approaches you: ⁵ and guard the guard of the holies and the guard of the sacrifice altar so that there be no more rage on the sons of Yisra El. ⁶ And I - behold, I take your brothers the Leviym from among the sons of Yisra El: and give them to you, a gift for Yah Veh, to serve the service of the tent of the congregation. ⁷ And you, with your sons, guard your priesthood for every word of the sacrifice altar and the housing of the veil - and you serve: I give you priesthood, a service of gift: and deathify the stranger who approaches. ⁸ And Yah Veh words to Aharon, And I - behold, I give you the guard of my exaltment of all the holies of the sons of Yisra El; I give them to you and to your sons for the anointing by an eternal statute:

²¹ And I also take of them for priests for Leviym, says Yah Veh.

¹⁷ For thus says Yah Veh: Neither David cut a man to sit on the throne of the house of Yisra El; ¹⁸ nor the priests the Leviym cut a man at my face to holocaust holocausts and to incense offerings and to work sacrifice continually. ¹⁹ And so be the word of Yah Veh to Yirme Yah, saying, ²⁰ Thus says Yah Veh: If you break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night so that there is no day and night in time; ²¹ then I also break my covenant with David my servant, that he has no son reigning on his throne; and with the Leviym the priests, my ministers. ²² As neither the host of the heavens is scribed, nor the sand of the sea measured: thus I abound the seed of David my servant, and the Leviym who minister to me.

¹² And they tell sovereign David, saying, Yah Veh blesses the house of Obed Edom and all he has because of the ark of Elohim. - and David goes and ascends the ark of Elohim from the house of Obed Edom to the city of David with cheerfulness.

¹⁷ And they bring the ark of Yah Veh and set it in place midst the tent David spread for it: and David holocausts holocausts and shelamim at the face of Yah Veh:

THE HONOR OF YAH VEH FILLS THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH
And so be it, the priests go from the holies: - for all the priests who are found are hallowed with none to guard by allotment:

⁴ and he brings in the priests and the Leviym; and gathers them in the broadway toward the rising, ⁵ and says to them, Hear me, you Leviym, now hallow yourselves and hallow the house of Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; and bring the exclusion from the holies.

¹⁵ and they slaughter the pasach on the fourteenth of the second month: and the priests and the Leviym shame and hallow themselves; and bring the holocausts into the house of Yah Veh:

⁶ and slaughter the pasach and hallow yourselves and prepare your brothers to work according to the word of Yah Veh by the hand of Mosheh.

¹¹ - for the priests - the hallowed of the sons of Sadoq; who guarded my guard; who strayed not when the sons of Yisra El strayed as the Leviym strayed.

THE HOLY METAMORPHOSIS
So I beseech you, brothers, through the compassions of Elohim, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well-pleasing to Elohim - your logical liturgy. ² And be not configured to this eon: but metamorphosed by the renewing of your mind, to prove what that good and well-pleasing and completed/shalamed will of Elohim is.

⁹ and they sing a new ode, wording, You are worthy to take the scroll and to open the seals thereof: because you were slaughtered and marketed us to Elohim by your blood from every scion and tongue and people and goyim; ¹⁰ and made us sovereigns and priests to our Elohim to reign on the earth.

¹⁵ And Aharon and his sons finish covering the holies and all the instruments of the holies, as the camp pulls stakes. Afterward, the sons of Qehath come to bear it: but they touch not the holies, lest they die. - these are the burden of the sons of Qehath in the tent of the congregation.

³ And they ride the ark of Elohim on a new wagon; and lift it from the house of Abi Nadab in Gibah: and Uzzah and Achyo the sons of Abi Nadab drive the new wagon:

⁷ and Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Uzzah; and Elohim smites him there for his deception; and there he dies by the ark of Elohim. ⁸ And David inflames, because Yah Veh breaches a breach on Uzzah: and he calls the name of the place Peres Uzzah/Breach of Strength to this day.

⁷ And they ride the ark of Elohim in a new wagon from the house of Abi Nadab: and Uzza and Achyo drive the wagon: ⁸ and David and all Yisra El entertain at the face of Elohim with all their strength and with songs and with harps and with bagpipes and with tambourines and with cymbals and with trumpets. ⁹ And they come to the threshingfloor of Kidon and Uzza sends his hand to hold the ark; for they had released the oxen: ¹⁰ and Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Uzza and he smites him, because he spread his hand to the ark: and there he dies at the face of Elohim: ¹¹ and David inflames, because Yah Veh breaches a breach on Uzza: and calls that place Peres Uzza/Breach of Uzza to this day.

² Then David says, No one ought to lift the ark of Elohim but the Leviym: for Yah Veh chose them to lift the ark of Elohim and to minister to him eternally.

¹⁷ for many in the congregation are not hallowed: and the Leviym have the charge of the slaughter of the pasachs for every one who is not pure - to hallow them to Yah Veh. ¹⁸ For an increase of the people - many of Ephrayim and Menash Sheh, Yissachar and Zebulun, had not purified; yet eat the pasach - but not as inscribed: but Yechizqi Yah prays for them, saying, The good Yah Veh kapars/atones every one ¹⁹ who prepares his heart to seek Elohim - Yah Veh Elohim of his fathers; though not according to the purification of the holies. ²⁰ And Yah Veh hearkens to Yechizqi Yah and heals the people:

¹³ He who covers his rebellions prospers not; and whoever spreads hands and forsakes is mercied.

² And I halal you brothers, that you remember me in all - and hold the traditions, exactly as I delivered them to you.

⁴⁰ Have all become decorous and in order.

⁸ whenever we say we have no sin we seduce ourselves and the truth is not in us: ⁹ whenever we profess our sins, he is trustworthy and just to forgive our sins and to purify us from all injustice: ¹⁰ whenever we say that we have not sinned we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

³ And Mosheh says to Aharon, It is what Yah Veh worded, saying, I become hallowed in them who come near me and honored at the face of all the people. - and Aharon hushes. :

¹⁵ - and they gather their brothers and hallow themselves and come, according to the misvah of the sovereign by the words of Yah Veh to purify the house of Yah Veh.

³⁴ Only, the priests are so few, that they cannot strip all the holocausts: and their brothers the Leviym strengthen them until the work is finished and until the priests hallow themselves: for the Leviym are more straight in heart to hallow themselves than the priests:

¹⁶ Gather the people! Hallow the congregation! Gather the elders! Gather the sucklings! And they who suck the breasts! Have the bridegroom come from his chamber! And the bride from her canopy! ¹⁷ Have the priests, the ministers of Yah Veh, weep between the porch and the sacrifice altar; and have them say, Spare your people, O Yah Veh! And give not your inheritance to reproach so that the goyim reign over them! Why have them say among the people, Where is their Elohim?

¹² and pour four signets of gold for it and give them in its four supports; and two signets in the one side and two signets in the second side: ¹³ and work staves of shittim timber and overlay them with gold: ¹⁴ and put the staves into the signets by the sides of the ark to bear the ark: ¹⁵ the staves be in the signets of the ark: so that they turn not aside from it.

³ and he pours four signets of gold for it by the four supports thereof - even two signets on the one side and two signets on the second side. ⁴ And he works staves of shittim timber and overlays them with gold: ⁵ and he puts the staves into the signets by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

²⁰ And he takes and gives the witness into the ark and sets the staves on the ark and gives the kapporeth above the ark:

⁵ and when the camp pulls stakes, Aharon and his sons come and lower the covering veil and cover the ark of witness with it: ⁶ and give thereon the covering of skins of badgers and spread over it a cloth totally blue and put in the staves thereof:

⁸ and they lengthen the staves so that the heads of the staves are seen in the holies at the face of the pulpit but they are not seen outside; and there they are to this day:

⁹ and they lengthen the staves so that the heads of the staves are seen from the ark at the face of the pulpit; but they are not seen outward: and there it is to this day

¹³ yes, and so be it, - as one, the trumpeters and singers - as one voice are heard in halaling and spreading hands to Yah Veh; and they lift their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of song and halal Yah Veh for good; for his mercy eternal: so that the house fills with a cloud - the house of Yah Veh;

²⁸ and all the congregation prostrates and the singers sing and the trumpeters trumpet until the holocaust is finished. ²⁹ And they finish holocausting, and the sovereign and all who are found with him bow and prostrate: ³⁰ and Yechizqi Yah the sovereign and the governors say to the Leviym to halal to Yah Veh with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. And they halal with cheerfulness and bow and prostrate.

¹² Also, in Yah Hudah the hand of Elohim gives them one heart to work the misvah of the sovereign and of the governors by the word of Yah Veh.

¹⁰ And the builders lay the foundation of the manse of Yah Veh and they stand the priests enrobed with trumpets and the Leviym the sons of Asaph with cymbals to halal Yah Veh, after the hand of David sovereign of Yisra El: ¹¹ and they answer together by course - halaling and spreading hands to Yah Veh for he is good: for his mercy eternal toward Yisra El. And all the people shout a great shout as they halal Yah Veh; because the foundation of the house of Yah Veh is laid.

²⁴ And we have you know, as for the priests and Leviym, pluckers, portal guards, Dedicates, or servers of this house of Elah, it is not permissible to assess tribute or custom on them. ²⁵ And you, Ezra, after the wisdom of your Elah, in your hand, appoint judges and advocates, to plead for all the people beyond the river - all such as know the edicts of your Elah; so that they who know them not know. ²⁶ And whoever serves not the edict of your Elah and the edict of the sovereign, serve the penalty diligently - whether to death, whether to uproot, whether to confiscate holdings, whether to bonds. ²⁷ Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of our fathers who gives such as this in the heart of the sovereign, to adorn the house of Yah Veh in Yeru Shalem: ²⁸ and spread mercy to me at the face of the sovereign and his counsellors and at the face of all the mighty governors of the sovereign: and I strengthen myself as the hand of Yah Veh my Elohim is on me; and I gather from Yisra El heads to ascend with me.

³⁶ and his brothers: Shema Yah and Azar El, Milalay, Gilalay, Maai, Nethan El and Yah Hudah, Hanani, with instruments of song of David the man of Elohim and Ezra the scribe at their face;

⁴³ And that day they sacrifice great sacrifices and cheer: for Elohim cheers them with great cheer: and also the women and the children cheer: so that the cheer of Yeru Shalem is heard afar off.

⁴⁶ for in the days of David and Asaph of antiquity there are heads of the singers and songs of halal and spread hands to Elohim.

¹ To His Eminence; On Gittith: By Asaph. Shout to Elohim our strength; shout to Elohim of Yaaqov:

⁷ The singers as well as the pluckers - all my fountains are in you.

¹ A Psalm; A Song: For the shabbath day. It is good to spread hands to Yah Veh and to psalm to your name, O Elyon: ² to tell your mercy in the morning and your trustworthiness in the nights: ³ on the decachord and on the bagpipe; on the harp with a meditation.

¹ O come; we shout to Yah Veh - shout to the rock of our salvation;

¹ A Psalm of Spread Hands. Shout to Yah Veh, all the earth;

³ they halal his name in the round dance; they psalm to him with tambourine and harp;

³ halal him with the blast of the shophar; halal him with the bagpipe and harp; ⁴ halal him with the tambourine and round dance; halal him with strummers and woodwinds;

²³ and sovereigns become your nurturers and their governesses your sucklers: they prostrate to you with their nostrils toward the earth and lick up the dust of your feet; and you know I - Yah Veh: for they who await me shame not.

¹¹ The voice of rejoicing and the voice of cheerfulness; the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; the voice of them who say, Spread hands to Yah Veh Sabaoth: for Yah Veh is good; for his mercy is eternal: - who bring spread hands to the house of Yah Veh. For I restore the captivity of the land as at the first, says Yah Veh.

²³
ECCLESIA ELDERS
And they vote elders in every ecclesia, and pray with fasting; and they set them to Adonay, in whom they trust.

¹
THE EPISCOPATE
Trustworthy the word! If anyone reaches for the episcopate, he pants after a good work. ² So an episcopate must be unapprehendable, the man of one woman, sober, soundminded, cosmic, befriend strangers, didactic, ³ no winesop, no striker, not avaricious: but gentle, amicable, unavaricious, ⁴ one who presides well over his own house having his children in subjection with all veneration. ⁵ For if one knows not how to preside over his own house, how cares he for the ecclesia of Elohim? ⁶ Not a neophyte: lest being inflated he falls into the judgment of Diabolos: ⁷ and he must have a good witness of those outside; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of Diabolos. ⁸
MINISTERS
Likewise ministers: venerant, not doubleworded, not heeding much wine, not avaricious, ⁹ holding the mystery of the trust in a pure conscience: ¹⁰ and also first be proved, and then minister: being unimpeachable. ¹¹ Likewise their women: venerant, not diabolic, sober, trustworthy in all. ¹² Ministers: the men of one woman, well-presiding over their children and their own houses. ¹³ For they who minister well acquire to themselves a good degree and vast boldness in the trust in Messiah Yah Shua. ¹⁴ I scribe these to you hoping to come to you very quickly: ¹⁵ but whenever I delay, you know how you must behave yourself in the house of El - the ecclesia of the living Elohim the pillar and ground of the truth.

² And what you hear from me through many witnesses, set forth to trustworthy humanity, who are ample to doctrinate others also.

⁵

¹ A Song: A Psalm by Asaph. Quiet not, O Elohim; hush not, rest not, O El.

¹⁵ To Obed Edom southward: and to his sons, the house of Gatherings:

¹⁶ And David says to the governor of the Leviym to stand their brothers the singers with instruments of song - bagpipes and harps and cymbals to be heard by lifting the voice with cheer.

⁵ Asaph the head and second Zechar Yah Yei El and Shemi Ramoth and Yechi El and Mattith Yah and Eli Ab and Bena Yah and Obed Edom; and Yei El with instruments of bagpipes and harps; and Asaph is heard with cymbals;

¹
DAVID SEPARATES THE PROPHET MUSICIANS
And David and the governors of the host separate to the service of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Yeduthun - prophets with harps, with bagpipes and with cymbals. And the number of the workmen according to their service:

⁶ All these are under the hands of their father for song in the house of Yah Veh - with cymbals, bagpipes and harps, for the service of the house of Elohim. At the hand of the sovereign: Asaph, Yeduthun and Heman.

⁵ halal him on the hearkening cymbals; halal him on the clanging cymbals.

¹ To His Eminence; For the sons of Qorach; A song for Virgins. Elohim is our refuge and strength; a mighty help to find in tribulation; ² so we awe not: the earth changes; the mountains totter into the heart of the seas; ³ the waters roar and foam; the pompous mountains quake. Selah. ⁴ There is a river, whose rivulets cheer the city of Elohim - the holies of the tabernacles of Elyon. ⁵ Elohim is in her midst; she totters not: Elohim helps her at the face of the morning. ⁶ The goyim roar; the sovereigndoms totter: he gives his voice: the earth melts. ⁷ Yah Veh Sabaoth is with us; the Elohim of Yaaqov is our secure loft. Selah. ⁸ Come see the deeds of Yah Veh, who set desolations in the earth; ⁹ - shabbathizes wars to the end of the earth; - breaks the bow and chops the spear; - burns the wagon in the fire. ¹⁰ Slacken and know that I - Elohim loft among the goyim - loft in the earth. ¹¹ Yah Veh Sabaoth is with us; Elohim of Yaaqov is our secure loft. Selah.

⁵ after that, come to the hill of Elohim where the station of the Peleshethiy is: and so be it, when you come to the city, you meet a line of prophets descending from the bamah with a bagpipe and a tambourine and a flute and a harp at their face; and they prophesy:

¹⁸ and with them their brothers of the second, Zechar Yah, Ben and Yaazi El and Shemi Ramoth and Yechi El and Unni, Eli Ab and Bena Yah and Maase Yah and Mattith Yah and Eli Phelehu and Miqne Yah. And Obed Edom and Yei El, the porters.

⁶ All these are under the hands of their father for song in the house of Yah Veh - with cymbals, bagpipes and harps, for the service of the house of Elohim. At the hand of the sovereign: Asaph, Yeduthun and Heman. ⁷ And their number, with their brothers - those taught in the songs of Yah Veh all the discerning, two hundred eighty-eight.

¹ To His Eminence; On Strummer; On Octave; A Psalm by David. O Yah Veh, neither reprove me in your wrath, nor discipline me in your fury. ² Grant me charism, O Yah Veh, for I languish; Heal me, O Yah Veh, for my bones are terrified; ³ my soul is mighty terrified. And you, O Yah Veh, until when? ⁴ Return, O Yah Veh, rescue my soul; save me for sake of your your mercies: ⁵ for your memorial is not in death; who spreads hands to you in sheol? ⁶ I belabor with my sighing; all night my bed swims: I flow my bedstead with my tears; ⁷ my eye is motheaten in vexation - antiquates because of all my tribulators. ⁸ Turn from me, all you working mischief; for Yah Veh hears the voice of my weeping: ⁹ Yah Veh hears my supplication; Yah Veh takes my prayer. ¹⁰ All my enemies shame and terrify mightily; they return and shame in a blink.

¹ To His Eminence; On the Octave; A Psalm by David. Save, O Yah Veh; for the mercied decease; for the trustworthy disappear from among the sons of humanity.

³ on the decachord and on the bagpipe; on the harp with a meditation.

³ halal him with the blast of the shophar; halal him with the bagpipe and harp;

²⁷ And David cloaks himself and all the Leviym who bear the ark and the singers and Kenan Yah the governor of the burden of the singers with a mantle of bleached linen; and an ephod of linen on David.

⁷ And their number, with their brothers - those taught in the songs of Yah Veh all the discerning, two hundred eighty-eight. ⁸ And they fell pebbles, by guards - the small as well as the great the discerner as the scholar.

⁴ Ascend to Hilqi Yah the great priest, to consummate the silver brought into the house of Yah Veh which the guards of the threshold gathered of the people:

⁴ And the sovereign misvahs Hilqi Yah the great priest and the priests of the second order and the guards of the threshold - to bring from the manse of Yah Veh all the instruments worked for Baal and for the asherah and for all the host of the heavens: and he burns them outside Yeru Shalem in the fields of Qidron; and lifts their dust to Beth El.

¹⁸ And the great slaughterer takes Sera Yah the head priest and Sephan Yah the second priest and the three guards of the threshold:

²¹ Zechar Yah the son of Meshelem Yah is porter of the opening of the tent of the congregation. ²² All these - purified to be porters in the thresholds are two hundred and twelve - genealogized in their courts, whom David and Shemu El the seer founded in their trustworthiness. ²³ And they and their sons are over the portals of the house of Yah Veh, and the house of the tent, by guards.

¹⁰ For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I choose to be a threshhold waiter in the house of my Elohim, rather than to twirl in the tents of wickedness.

⁸ And the sons of Aharon, the priests, blast with the trumpets; and they become an eternal statute to you throughout your generations.

²³ And Berech Yah and El Qanah are porters for the ark.

²⁸ And all Yisra El ascends the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh with shouting and with voice of the shophar - with trumpets and with cymbals, heard with bagpipes and harps.

⁶ and Bena Yah and Yachazi El the priests with trumpets continually at the face of the ark of the covenant of Elohim.

¹² and the Leviym - the singers - all of them - of Asaph, of Heman, of Yeduthun, with their sons and their brothers enrobe in bleached linen with cymbals and bagpipes and harps and stand at the rising of the sacrifice altar; and with them, a hundred and twenty priests trumpeting with trumpets: ¹³ yes, and so be it, - as one, the trumpeters and singers - as one voice are heard in halaling and spreading hands to Yah Veh; and they lift their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of song and halal Yah Veh for good; for his mercy eternal: so that the house fills with a cloud - the house of Yah Veh;

¹³ Oh that my people hearken to me and Yisra El walk in my ways:

¹ Blast the shophar in Siyon! And shout in my holy mountain! All the settlers of the land quiver: for the day of Yah Veh approaches - nearby:

¹⁵ Blast the shophar in Siyon! Hallow a fast! Call a private assembly!

¹⁴ And Mosheh is enraged with them who oversee the valiant - with the governors over thousands and governors over hundreds who come from the hostility of war.

¹⁵ And I took the head of your scions wise men and known and gave them heads over you - governors over thousands and governors over hundreds and governors over fifties and governors over tens and officers among your scions.

⁷ and there at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim eat and cheer in every spreading of your hand - you and your households, wherein Yah Veh your Elohim blessed you.

¹⁸ but eat them at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim in the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses - you and your son and your daughter and your servant and your maid and the Leviy within your portals: and cheer at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim in all you spread your hands to.

¹¹ and cheer at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim - you and your son and your daughter and your servant and your maid and the Leviy within your portals and the sojourner and the orphan and the widow among you, in the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses to tabernacle his name.

¹⁵ Celebrate seven days to Yah Veh your Elohim in the place Yah Veh chooses: because Yah Veh your Elohim blesses you in all your produce and in all the works of your hands - only cheerful.

¹² and sets for himself governors over thousands and governors over fifties; and sets them to plough his ploughing and to harvest his harvest; and to work his instruments of war and instruments of his chariots:

¹⁹ and you have, this day, refused your Elohim, who himself saved you from all your evils and your tribulations; and you said to him, No! But set a sovereign over us. And now, set yourselves at the face of Yah Veh by your scions and by your thousands.

⁷ And Shaul says to his servants stationed around him, Hear now, you Ben Yaminiy; Gives the son of Yishay fields and vineyards to every one of you? Sets he you all governors of thousands and governors of hundreds

¹² And they tell sovereign David, saying, Yah Veh blesses the house of Obed Edom and all he has because of the ark of Elohim. - and David goes and ascends the ark of Elohim from the house of Obed Edom to the city of David with cheerfulness. ¹³ And so be it, they who bear the ark of Yah Veh pace six paces and he sacrifices oxen and fatlings: ¹⁴ and David twirls at the face of Yah Veh with all strength; and David girts with a linen ephod: ¹⁵ and David and all the house of Yisra El ascend the ark of Yah Veh with shouting and with the voice of the shophar. ¹⁶ And as the ark of Yah Veh comes to the city of David, Michal the daughter of Shaul looks through a window and sees sovereign David leaping and twirling at the face of Yah Veh: and she despises him in her heart. ¹⁷ And they bring the ark of Yah Veh and set it in place midst the tent David spread for it: and David holocausts holocausts and shelamim at the face of Yah Veh: ¹⁸ and as soon as David finishes holocausting holocausts and shelamim, he blesses the people in the name of Yah Veh Sabaoth: ¹⁹ and he allots among all the people - among the whole multitude of Yisra El as well to the women as men - to every man one cake of bread and one portion and one cake of fig. - and all the people go - each man to his house. ²⁰ And David returns to bless his household: and Michal the daughter of Shaul goes to meet David and says, How honorable - the sovereign of Yisra El today, who exposes himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants as one of the vain shamelessly uncovers himself! ²¹ And David says to Michal, It is at the face of Yah Veh who chose me at the face of your father and at the face of all his house, to misvah me eminent over the people of Yah Veh - over Yisra El: therefore I entertain at the face of Yah Veh: ²² and I abase more than this - lowly in my own eyes: and the maids of which you say, of them I am honored. ²³ As for Michal the daughter of Shaul, she has no child to the day of her death.

¹¹ and David inflames, because Yah Veh breaches a breach on Uzza: and calls that place Peres Uzza/Breach of Uzza to this day. ¹² And David awes Elohim that day, saying, How bring I the ark of Elohim to me? ¹³ And David returns not the ark to himself to the city of David, but spreads it into the house of Obed Edom the Gittiy: ¹⁴ and the ark of Elohim settles with the house of Obed Edom in his house three months: and Yah Veh blesses the house of Obed Edom and all he has.

²⁷ Then they return - every man of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem with Yah Shaphat at their head - return to Yeru Shalem with cheer; for Yah Veh cheers them over their enemies: ²⁸ and they come to Yeru Shalem with bagpipes and harps and trumpets to the house of Yah Veh:

¹⁶
THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH HANUKKAHED
And the sons of Yisra El the priests and the Leviym and the survivors of the sons of the exile, hanukkah this house of Elah with rejoicing:

¹ O come; we shout to Yah Veh - shout to the rock of our salvation; ² - anticipate his face with spread hands and shout to him with psalms.

¹ A Psalm of Spread Hands. Shout to Yah Veh, all the earth; ² serve Yah Veh with cheerfulness; come at his face with shouting:

² But you, Beth Lechem Ephrath, being little among the thousands of Yah Hudah, from you he comes to me to become sovereign in Yisra El; whose proceeds are from antiquity - from days eternal.

³ for we are the circumcision, who liturgize Elohim in spirit and boast in Messiah Yah Shua and have no confidence in flesh.

⁴ Cheer in Adonay alway - again I say, Cheer.

¹
The ORACLES OF BILAM
And Bilam says to Balaq, Build me here seven sacrifice altars and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. ² - and Balaq works as Bilam worded; and Balaq and Bilam holocaust a bullock and a ram on every sacrifice altar. ³ And Bilam says to Balaq, Stand by your holocaust and I go: perhaps Yah Veh happens to meet me: and whatever word he has me see, I tell you. And he goes to the barrens ⁴ and Elohim happens on Bilam, and he says to him, I arrange seven sacrifice altars and I holocaust a bullock and a ram on every sacrifice altar.

²⁹ And Bilam says to Balaq, Build me here seven sacrifice altars and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

³² And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams and fourteen integrious lambs yearling sons:

¹² And Shemu El takes one stone and sets it between Mispeh and Shen and calls the name of it Eben Ezer, saying, Hitherto Yah Veh helps us.

¹³ And so be it, they who bear the ark of Yah Veh pace six paces and he sacrifices oxen and fatlings:

¹⁴ Yes, because who am I and who are my people, to restrain from volunteering after this sort? For all is from you and from your hand we give you:

⁸ And now, take seven bullocks and seven rams and go to my servant Iyob and holocaust yourselves a holocaust; and my servant Iyob prays for you; as for him, I lift from his face; so as not to work folly with you - in that you word not of me what is established, as my servant Iyob.

¹³ I enter your house with holocausts; I shalam you my vows: ¹⁴ my lips gasp and my mouth words in my tribulation: ¹⁵ I holocaust to you holocausts of fatlings with the incense of rams; I work bullocks with he goats. Selah.

²³ And seven days of the celebration he works a holocaust to Yah Veh - seven integrious bullocks and seven rams daily for seven days; and a buck of the doe goats daily for the sin:

²² So having obtained help from Elohim, I stand to this day witnessing both to little and mega; wording none other except those of which the prophets and Mosheh spoke which are about to become:

¹⁶ indeed to the one the fragrance of death to death; and to the other the fragrance of life to life. And who is adequate for these?

⁵ not that we are adequate of ourselves to reckon somewhat as of ourselves; but our adequacy is of Elohim

¹⁸
THE LADHOOD MINISTRY OF SHEMU EL
And Shemu El ministers at the face of Yah Veh - a lad, girt with a linen ephod:

¹⁴ and David twirls at the face of Yah Veh with all strength; and David girts with a linen ephod: ¹⁵ and David and all the house of Yisra El ascend the ark of Yah Veh with shouting and with the voice of the shophar.

¹ To His Eminence; A Psalm for the sons of Qorach. O clap your palms, all you people; shout to Elohim with the voice of shouting: ² for Yah Veh Elyon is awesome - a great Sovereign over all the earth: ³ he subdues the people under us and the nations under our feet: ⁴ he chooses our inheritance for us - the pomp of Yaaqov whom he loves. Selah. ⁵ Elohim ascends with a blast - Yah Veh with the voice of a shophar.

²⁵ The singers precede; the strummers after: the virgins tambourining among them.

⁴ Shout to Yah Veh, all the earth; break forth, and shout and psalm: ⁵ psalm to Yah Veh with the harp - with the harp and the voice of a psalm: ⁶ with trumpets and voice of shophar shout at the face of Yah Veh the Sovereign.

³ halal him with the blast of the shophar; halal him with the bagpipe and harp; ⁴ halal him with the tambourine and round dance; halal him with strummers and woodwinds; ⁵ halal him on the hearkening cymbals; halal him on the clanging cymbals.

²⁰
THE SONG OF MIRYAM
And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, takes a tambourine in her hand; and all the women follow her with tambourines and with round dances.

³³ And they pull stakes from the mount of Yah Veh a journey of three days: and the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh pulls stakes at their face in the journey of three days to explore a rest for them.

²⁶ Take this scroll of the torah and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh your Elohim to become for a witness against you.

⁷ Then you say to them, Because of the waters of Yarden being cut off at the face of the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh; when it passed over Yarden the waters of Yarden being cut off: and these stones become a memorial to the sons of Yisra El eternally.

²⁷ And the sons of Yisra El ask of Yah Veh - for the ark of the covenant of Elohim is there in those days;

³ and when the people come into the camp the elders of Yisra El say, Yah Veh - why smites he us today at the face of the Peleshethiy? Let us take the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh from Shiloh to us; to come among us and save us from the palm of our enemies.

²⁷ And David rises and goes, he and his men, and smite two hundred men of the Peleshethiy; and David brings their foreskins; and they give them fully to the sovereign, to become son in law to the sovereign. - and Shaul gives him Michal his daughter to woman. ²⁸ And Shaul sees and knows Yah Veh is with David and that Michal the daughter of Shaul loves him:

¹¹ And Shaul sends angels to the house of David to guard him - to deathify him in the morning: and Michal the woman of David tells him, saying, If you rescue not your soul tonight, tomorrow they deathify you. ¹² So Michal descends David through a window: and he goes and flees and escapes: ¹³ And Michal takes the teraphim and set them in the bed; and sets a mattress of doe goats for his headpieces and covers them with a cloth. ¹⁴ And Shaul sends angels to take David, and she says, He is sick. ¹⁵ And Shaul sends the angels to see David, saying, Ascend him to me in the bed, and I deathify him. ¹⁶ And the angels come in, and behold, the teraphim in the bed, with a mattress of doe goats for their headpieces. ¹⁷ And Shaul says to Michal, Why have you deceived me so and send away my enemy to escape? And Michal says to Shaul, He says to me, Send me away. Why deathify you?

⁴⁴ And Shaul gives Michal his daughter the woman of David to Phalti the son of Laish of Gallim.

¹³ And he says, Good; I cut a covenant with you: only, I ask one word of you, saying, You not see my face, unless you first bring Michal the daughter of Shaul when you come to see my face. ¹⁴ And David sends angels to Ish Bosheth the son of Shaul, saying, Give me my woman Michal whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Peleshethiy.

¹⁶ And as the ark of Yah Veh comes to the city of David, Michal the daughter of Shaul looks through a window and sees sovereign David leaping and twirling at the face of Yah Veh: and she despises him in her heart.

¹
THE SON OF DAVID IS TO BUILD THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH
And so be it, David settles in his house, and David says to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I settle in a house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh is under curtains.

¹¹ Turn my chopping into round dancing; loose my saq and girt me with cheerfulness:

⁷ Because of you, I bear reproach; shame covers my face: ⁸ I become a stranger to my brothers and a stranger to the sons of my mother: ⁹ for the zeal of your house eats me; and the reproaches of them who reproach you fall on me.

⁴ halal him with the tambourine and round dance; halal him with strummers and woodwinds;

⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to chop and a time to dance;

¹⁶ and so be it, when you abound and bear fruit in the land, in those days - an oracle of Yah Veh they neither say any more, The ark of the covenant of Yah Veh: nor ascend it to heart nor remember they it nor visit they it; nor work they it any more.

¹⁹ And spread hands proceed from them and the voice of them who ridicule: and I abound them and they diminish not; I honor them, and they are not belittled:
