¹
THE TORAH ON SACRIFICES Sacrifice not to Yah Veh your Elohim any ox or lamb wherein is blemish or any evil word: for that is an abhorrence to Yah Veh your Elohim. ²
THE TORAH ON APOSTATES When among you, within one of your portals Yah Veh your Elohim gives you, you find a man or woman who works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh your Elohim, in trespassing his covenant, ³ and goes and serves other elohim and prostrates to them - either the sun or moon or any of the host of the heavens, which I misvah not to; ⁴ and you are told and you hear thereof; and enquire well, and behold, it be truth, and the word is established, of such abhorrence being worked in Yisra El: ⁵ bring that man or that woman who worked that evil word to your portals - that man or that woman and stone them with stones until they die. ⁶ At the mouth of two witnesses or three witnesses, in deathifying, deathify; but at the mouth of one witness deathify him not. ⁷ First the hands of the witnesses are on him to deathify him; and afterward the hands of all the people. Thus you burn the evil from your midst. ⁸
THE TORAH ON JUDGMENT Whenever a word rises that marvels you in judgment - between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between plague and plague - words of dispute within your portals: then rise, and ascend the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses; ⁹ and come to the priests the Leviym and to the judge of those days; and inquire: and they tell you the word of the judgment: ¹⁰ and work according to the word of the mouths of them of the place Yah Veh chooses tell you; and guard to work according to all they point out to you ¹¹ - according to the mouth of the torah they point out to you: and work according to the judgment they tell you: turn not aside from the word they tell you - right or left. ¹² And the man who works arrogance, and hearkens not to the priest who stands to minister there at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim, or to the judge, even that man dies: and you burn away the evil from Yisra El. ¹³ - and all the people hear and awe and not seethe. ¹⁴
THE TORAH ON SOVEREIGNS When you come to the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you, and possess it and settle therein; and you say, I set a sovereign over me, as all the goyim all around me! ¹⁵ - in setting, set him sovereign over you, whom Yah Veh your Elohim chooses: set one from among your brothers sovereign over you: you cannot give a man - a stranger over you, who is not your brother. ¹⁶ Only, he abounds not horses to himself; returns not the people to Misrayim to abound horses: since Yah Veh says to you, Never again return that way. ¹⁷ He neither abounds women to himself nor turns away his heart nor mightily abounds silver and gold to himself. ¹⁸ And so be it, when he sits on the throne of his sovereigndom, he inscribes himself a duplicate of this torah in a scroll from that at the face of the priests the Leviym: ¹⁹ and so be it with him, and he recalls therein all the days of his life: to learn to awe Yah Veh his Elohim, to guard all the words of this torah and these statutes, to work them: ²⁰ to not lift his heart above his brothers, and to not turn aside from the misvah - right or left: and to prolong his days in his sovereigndom, - he and his sons, midst Yisra El.

³ and behold, seven other heifers ascend after them from the river - evil visaged and thinfleshed and they stand by the heifers on the edge of the river: ⁴ and the evil visaged and thinfleshed heifers eat up the seven beautiful visaged and fat heifers - and Paroh wakes.

²⁰ and whatever has a blemish, oblate not: for it is not pleasing for you. ²¹ And the man who oblates a sacrifice of shelamim to Yah Veh - a marvelous vow or a voluntary in oxen or flocks, it is integrious and pleasing - no blemish therein. ²² Blind or broken or cut or pussed or scurvied or scabbed - neither oblate these to Yah Veh nor give firings on the sacrifice altar to Yah Veh. ²³ Either an ox or a lamb, spread or maimed, work for a voluntary; but it is not pleasing for a vow. ²⁴ Oblate not to Yah Veh pinched or crushed or torn or cut; work not in your land. ²⁵ And from the hand of a stranger oblate not the bread of your Elohim of any of these; because of the ruin in them and the blemishes in them: they are not pleasing for you.

²¹ And when there is any blemish therein, lame, or blind, or any evil blemish, sacrifice it not to Yah Veh your Elohim:

¹⁸ bring not the payoff of whoring, or the price of a dog, to the house of Yah Veh your Elohim for any vow: for even these two are an abhorrence to Yah Veh your Elohim.

¹³ You also say, Behold, what trouble! and you puff at it, says Yah Veh Sabaoth; and you bring the stripped and the lame and the sick. Thus bring you an offering: of your hand that pleases? says Yah Veh. ¹⁴ And cursed is the deceiver who has a male in his drove; and vows and sacrifices a ruin to Adonay: for I am a great Sovereign, says Yah Veh Sabaoth; and my name is awesome among the goyim.

¹⁴ how much more the blood of the Messiah who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to Elohim, purify your conscience from dead works to liturgize the living Elohim?

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb, unblemished and unstained:

¹⁵ and if you spurn my statutes or if your soul loathes my judgments; so that you work not all my misvoth to break my covenant

²⁵ and I bring a sword on you to avenge the avenging of my covenant: and when you gather to your cities, I send the pestilence among you; that you become given into the hand of the enemy:

²⁵ Then men say, Because they forsake the covenant of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, which he cut with them when he brought them from the land of Misrayim:

²⁰ and I bring them to the soil I oathed to their fathers flowing with milk and honey: and they eat and satiate and fatten and turn to the face of other elohim and serve them and scorn me and break my covenant.

¹¹ Yisra El sinned; and they also trespassed my covenant which I misvahed them: and also take of the devotement, and also steal; and also deceive; and also set it among their own instruments:

¹⁵ And so be it, he who is captured with the devotement is burnt with fire - he and all he has: because he trespassed the covenant of Yah Veh and because he has worked folly in Yisra El.

¹⁶ in trespassing the covenant of Yah Veh your Elohim which he misvahed you; and go and serve other elohim and bow yourselves to them; then Yah Veh kindles his wrath against you and you destruct quickly from off the good land he has given to you.

²⁰ And Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Yisra El; and he says, Because this goyim trespasses my covenant which I misvahed their fathers; and hearken not to my voice;

⁹ not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the day I held their hand to lead them from the land of Misrayim - because they abode not in my covenant and I also disregarded them, words Yah Veh. ¹⁰ For this is the covenant I covenant with the house of Yisra El: After those days, words Yah Veh; I give my torah in their mind and epigraph them in their hearts: and I become to them - Elohim and they become to me - people:

¹⁹ and lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars and all the host of the heavens and be driven to prostrate to them and serve them - which Yah Veh your Elohim allotted to all people under the whole of the heavens.

³ And he returns and builds the bamahs Yechizqi Yah his father destroyed; and he raises sacrifice altars for Baal and works an asherah as Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El worked; and prostrates to all the host of the heavens and serves them.

²⁶ if I see the light when it halals or the moon walking in esteem; ²⁷ and my heart covertly duped or my mouth kiss my hand;

²² for I neither worded to your fathers, nor misvahed them in the day I brought them from the land of Misrayim concerning holocausts or sacrifices: ²³ But this I misvahed them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I am your Elohim and you are my people: and walk in all the ways I misvah you, that it well-please you.

³¹
THE BAMAHS OF TOPHETH
And they build the bamahs of Topheth in Gay Ben Hinnom/Valley of the Son of Burning to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I neither misvahed nor ascended into my heart.

² and they spread them to the sun and the moon and all the host of the heavens - whom they loved and whom they served and after whom they walked and whom they sought and to whom they prostrated: they are neither gathered nor entombed; they are for dung on the face of the soil:

⁵ and build the bamahs of Baal to burn their sons with fire for holocausts to Baal - which I neither misvahed nor worded - nor ascended into my heart.

³⁵ and they build the bamahs of Baal in Gay Ben Hinnom/Valley of the Son of Burning, to pass their sons and their daughters through to Molech - which I neither misvahed them nor ascended it into my heart that they work this abhorrence to have Yah Hudah sin.

¹⁶ And he brings me into the inner court of the house of Yah Veh, and behold, at the portal of the manse of Yah Veh between the porch and the sacrifice altar - about twenty-five men with their backs toward the manse of Yah Veh and their faces eastward; and they prostrate eastward toward the sun.

¹² When, in one of the cities Yah Veh your Elohim gives you to settle, you hear, saying, ¹³ Men, sons of Beli Yaal, go among you, and drive them who settle the city, saying, Come and serve other elohim whom you know not! ¹⁴ - then inquire and probe and ask well; and behold, if it is the truth, and the word established, that such abhorrence is worked among you;

¹⁸ and the judges inquire well: and behold, if the witness is a false witness and witnesses falsely against his brother;

² The honor of Elohim is to hide a word; and the honor of sovereigns to probe a word.

⁵¹ Judges our torah any human unless it first hears him and knows what he does?

¹⁴ Bring him who abases outside the camp; and have all who hear him prop their hands on his head and have all the witness stone him.

¹⁶ and he who pierces the name of Yah Veh, in deathifying, deathify him; and in stoning, have all the witness stone him - the sojourner as well as he who births in the land: and when he pierces the name, deathify him.

¹⁰ and stone him with stones that he die; because he sought to drive you from Yah Veh your Elohim - who brought you from the land of Misrayim from the house of servants: ¹¹ and all Yisra El hears and awes and adds to not work among you according to this evil word.

²¹ And all the men of his city stone him with stones and he dies: thus you burn evil from among you. - and all Yisra El hears and awes.

²¹ then they bring the lass to the opening of the house of her father: and the men of her city stone her with stones so that she dies: because she worked folly in Yisra El to whore in the house of her father: thus you burn evil from among you.

²⁴ then you bring the two of them to the portal of that city and stone them with stones that they die; the lass, for the word that she cried not, being in the city; and the man, for the word that he humbled the woman of his friend: thus you burn evil from among you.

²⁵ And Yah Shua says, Why trouble you us? Yah Veh troubles you this day. And all Yisra El stones him with stones, and burns them with fire after they stone them with stones.

³⁰ Whoever smites a soul, murder the murderer by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness answers not against a soul as to his death.

¹⁵
THE TORAH ON WITNESSES Raise not one witness against a man for any perversity or for any sin in any sin he sins. But by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, raise the word.

¹⁶ but whenever he hears you not take one or two more with you; so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses you establish every rhema:

¹⁷ And also it is scribed in your torah, The witness of two humans is true. ¹⁸ I AM witness concerning myself; and the Father who sent me witnesses concerning me.

¹ This is my third coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses every rhema stands.

¹⁹
RESOLVING ACCUSATIONS
Receive no accusation against an elder unless except in front of two or three witnesses.

²⁸ Anyone who set aside the torah of Mosheh died apart from compassion under two or three witnesses:

⁵ and deathify that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; because he words to you to revolt from Yah Veh your Elohim - who brought you from the land of Misrayim and redeemed you from the house of servants; and to drive you from the way wherein Yah Veh your Elohim misvahed you to walk. Thus burn evil from your midst.

⁹ but in slaughtering, slaughter him; first, your hand on him to deathify him; and afterwards, the hand of all the people:

¹² And the man who works arrogance, and hearkens not to the priest who stands to minister there at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim, or to the judge, even that man dies: and you burn away the evil from Yisra El.

¹⁹ then work to him as he intrigued to work to his brother: thus you burn the evil from among you.

⁷ When you find a man stealing a soul from his brothers - of the sons of Yisra El and tyrranizes him or sells him; that thief dies; and you burn evil from among you.

¹³ Now give the men - the sons of Beli Yaal in Gibah and we deathify them and thus burn away evil from Yisra El. And Ben Yamin wills to not hearken to the voice of their brothers the sons of Yisra El:

⁵⁸ and cast him from the city, and stone him: and the witnesses put down their garments at the feet of a youth called Shaul: ⁵⁹ and they stone Stephanos: calling on Elohim, wording, Adonay Yah Shua, receive my spirit.

¹³ And those who are outside Elohim judges. So take away that evil from among yourselves.

²⁶ and they judge the people at all times: they bring the hard words to Mosheh; but every small word they judge themselves.

¹²
JUDGMENTS FOR INJURIES
He who smites a man, thus he dies: in deathifying, deathify him. ¹³ And if a man lurks not, but Elohim happens him into his hand; then I set you a place for him to flee. ¹⁴ And if a man seethes against his friend, to slaughter him with strategy, take him from my sacrifice altar to die.

²⁰ And if a man smites his servant, or his maid, with a scion, and he dies under his hand, in avenging, avenge him.

²² If men strive, and smite a woman that she conceives, so that her fruit departs from her and yet no mischief follows, in penalizing, penalize him, according as the master of the woman sets on him; and he gives according to the judges.

²⁸ If an ox butt a man or a woman so that they die, then in stoning, stone the ox and eat not his flesh; but exonerate the master of the ox.

² If they find a thief digging; and smite him that he dies, pour no blood for him.

¹¹ and happen on cities - your cities of refuge for the murderer to flee to - who smites a soul by inadvertent error;

¹⁶ And if he smites him with an instrument of iron, so that he dies, he is a murderer: in deathifying, deathify the murderer.

¹⁹ The redeemer of blood himself deathifies the murderer: when he encounters him, he deathifies him. ²⁰ And if in hatred, he shoves him, or hurls at him by lurking, that he die; ²¹ or in enmity smites him with his hand, that he die: in deathifying, deathify him who smites him; for he is a murderer: the redeemer of blood deathifies the murderer, when he encounters him. ²² And if, in a blink, without enmity, he shoves him, or casts on him any instrument, without lurking, ²³ or with any stone, whereby a man dies, not seeing him, and it befalls him, that he dies and was neither his enemy, nor sought his evil: ²⁴ then the witness judge between him who smites and between the redeemer of blood according to these judgments: ²⁵ and the witness rescues the murderer from the hand of the redeemer of blood and the witness restores him to the city of his refuge, from which he fled: and he settles there until the death of the great priest who was anointed with the holy oil. ²⁶ But if, at any time, the murderer comes outside the border of the city of his refuge, where he flees; ²⁷ and the redeemer of blood finds him outside the borders of the city of his refuge and the redeemer of blood murders the murderer; he is not guilty of blood: ²⁸ because he was to settle in the city of his refuge until the death of the great priest: but after the death of the great priest the murderer returns to the land of his possession. ²⁹ And these become your statute of judgment throughout your generations, in all your settlements. ³⁰ Whoever smites a soul, murder the murderer by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness answers not against a soul as to his death. ³¹ And take no koper/atonement for the soul of a murderer who is wicked unto death: and in deathifying, deathify him. ³² And take no koper/atonement for him who flees to the city of his refuge, to return to settle in the land until the death of the priest. ³³ And profane not the land wherein you are; for blood profanes the land: and you cannot kapar/atone the land for the blood poured therein, except by the blood of him who poured it. ³⁴ Foul not the land wherein you settle in whose midst I tabernacle: I -Yah Veh tabernacle among the sons of Yisra El.

¹⁷ recognize not faces in judgment; and hear the small as well as the great: fear not the face of man; for the judgment is of Elohim: and for the word that is too hard for you, approach me and I hear it.

⁵ But to the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses of all your scions to put his name there, seek and enter his tabernacle:

⁴ And this is the word of the murderer, who flees there, and lives: Whoever smites his friend unknowingly, whom he hated not three yesters ago;

¹⁰ so that innocent blood is not poured in the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you - an inheritance and blood becomes on you. ¹¹ And when a man hates his friend and lurks for him and rises against him and smites his soul that he dies, and flees to one of these cities:

¹⁷ then the two men, between whom the dispute is, stand at the face of Yah Veh - at the face of the priests and the judges, being in those days;

¹⁶
THE FIRST CASE OF SHELOMOH
And two women - whores come to the sovereign and stand at his face: ¹⁷ and the one woman says, O my adoni, I and this woman settle in one house; and I birthed with her in the house: ¹⁸ and so be it, the third day after I birthed, this woman also birthed: and we are together - no stranger with us in the house except we two in the house: ¹⁹ and the son of this woman dies in the night; because she lies down on it: ²⁰ and she rises in the middle of the night and takes my son from beside me while your maid sleeps and lays it in her bosom; and lays her dead son in my bosom: ²¹ and when I rise in the morning to suckle my son behold, it died: and I discern in the morning, and behold, it is not my son, whom I birthed. ²² And the other woman says, No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son. And this one says, No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son. - and they word at the face of the sovereign. ²³
THE FIRST JUDGMENT OF SHELOMOH
Then the sovereign says, This one says, This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead: and that one says, No; but your son is the dead, and my son is the living. ²⁴ And the sovereign says, Take me a sword. - and they bring a sword at the face of the sovereign. ²⁵ And the sovereign says, Cut the living child in two; and give half to the one and half to the one. ²⁶ Then the woman whose son is the living says to the sovereign - for her mercies yearned upon her son and she says, O my adoni, give her the live birthed one; and in deathifying, deathify it not. And the other said, O that it neither be mine nor yours! Cut! ²⁷ And the sovereign answers and says, Give her the live birthed one; and in deathifying, deathify it not: she is the mother thereof. ²⁸ And all Yisra El hears of the judgment the sovereign judged; and they awe at the face of the sovereign: for they see the wisdom of Elohim in his midst to work judgment.

⁸ And also in Yeru Shalem Yah Shaphat stands - of the Leviym and of the priests and of the head of the fathers of Yisra El, for the judgment of Yah Veh and for controversies: and they return to Yeru Shalem. ⁹ And he misvahs them, saying, Work thus: in the awe of Yah Veh, trustworthily; and with a heart at shalom: ¹⁰ and whatever strife comes to you - of your brothers who settle in your cities; between blood and blood; between torah and misvah; statutes and judgments; enlighten them not to guilt against Yah Veh and thus rage come on you and on your brothers: work thus and guilt not.

⁴ and there the scions ascend - the scions of Yah to the witness of Yisra El; to spread hands to the name of Yah Veh: ⁵ for there the thrones of judgment settle - the thrones of the house of David.

¹¹ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Ask, I beseech, the priests of the torah, saying,

⁷ For the lips of the priest guard knowledge and they seek the torah at his mouth: for he is the angel of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹⁷ then the two men, between whom the dispute is, stand at the face of Yah Veh - at the face of the priests and the judges, being in those days; ¹⁸ and the judges inquire well: and behold, if the witness is a false witness and witnesses falsely against his brother; ¹⁹ then work to him as he intrigued to work to his brother: thus you burn the evil from among you. ²⁰ And they who survive, hear and awe, and add not to work such word of evil among you. ²¹ Your eye spares not: soul for soul, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

¹⁸ And they say, Come! We fabricate fabrications against Yirme Yah; for neither the torah destructs from the priest nor counsel from the wise nor the word from the prophet: Come, and smite him with the tongue, and hearken not to any of his words.

²⁴ and concerning controversy, they stand and judge; and they judge according to my judgments: and they guard my torah and my statutes in all my congregations; and they hallow my shabbaths:

² The sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human sovereign who makes a marriage for his son: ³ and he apostolizes his servants to call those bidden to the marriage: and they will to not come.

³² Guard to work as Yah Veh your Elohim misvahs you: turn not aside to the right or to the left.

²⁰ to not lift his heart above his brothers, and to not turn aside from the misvah - right or left: and to prolong his days in his sovereigndom, - he and his sons, midst Yisra El.

¹ When a dispute becomes between men and they come to judgment to be judged; then they justify the just and declare wicked the wicked:

¹⁴ and turn not aside from any of the words I misvah you this day - right or left, to go after other elohim to serve them.

⁷ Only, strengthen and encourage mightily to guard to work according to all the torah Mosheh my servant misvahed you: turn not aside from it - right or left, so that wherever you go, you comprehend.

⁶ Be mighty strong to guard and to work all inscribed in the scroll of the torah of Mosheh - that you not turn aside, right or left;

¹⁹ And the sovereign says, Is the hand of Yah Ab with you in all this? And the woman answers and says, Your soul lives, my adoni the sovereign, no man can turn right or left from aught that my adoni the sovereign words: for your servant Yah Ab, he misvahed me and he set all these words in the mouth of your maid:

²⁷ spread neither to the right nor to the left; turn aside your foot from evil.

⁸ And you turn aside from the way; you falter many at the torah; you ruin the covenant of Levi; says Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁹ So I also give you despised and lowly in front of all the people because according to your mouth you guard not my ways, and lift faces against the torah.

¹
ALL AUTHORITY IS ELOHIM-ORDAINED
Every soul, subjugate to the superior authorities. For there is no authority except of Elohim: the authorities that be are ordained of Elohim. ² So whoever withstands the authority opposes the ordinance of Elohim: and whoever withstands stake judgment to themselves. ³ For archs are not an awe to good works but to the evil. So will you, to not be awestricken of the authority? Do good and you have halal of the same: ⁴ for he is your minister of Elohim for good. But whenever you do evil, awe; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of Elohim - the avenger to wrath upon whoever transacts evil. ⁵ So it is necessary to subjugate, not only for wrath, but also for sake of conscience. ⁶ For this cause complete/shalam your tribute also: for they are liturgists of Elohim, continuing therein.

¹ remind them to subjugate to hierarchies and authorities. to obey magistrates. to be prepared to every good work,

¹³
SUBJUGATING TO GOVERNMENTS So subjugate yourselves to every creation of humanity for the sake of Adonay: whether to the sovereign as supreme; ¹⁴ whether to governors, as to them who indeed are sent through him to avenge evildoers, and for the halal of them doing good. ¹⁵ Because thus is the will of Elohim, that by doing good you muzzle the unknowingness of thoughtless humanity:

¹⁰ and especially those walking after flesh in the panting of defilement, who disesteem lordship, audacious, selfpleasing, who tremble not to blaspheme glories.

⁸ Yet indeed, these dreamers still defile the flesh, set aside lordships, and blaspheme glories.

³⁰ And the soul who works with lifted hand - native or sojourner reproaches Yah Veh; and that soul becomes cut off from among his people:

⁸ At that time Yah Veh separated the scion of Levi, to bear the ark of the of Yah Veh, to stand at the face of Yah Veh to minister to him and to bless in his name - to this day.

¹¹ and all Yisra El hears and awes and adds to not work among you according to this evil word.

⁷ First the hands of the witnesses are on him to deathify him; and afterward the hands of all the people. Thus you burn the evil from your midst.

⁵ For Yah Veh your Elohim chose him from all your scions, to stand to minister in the name of Yah Veh - he and his sons all days.

⁷ then he ministers in the name of Yah Veh his Elohim - as all his brothers the Leviym who stand there at the face of Yah Veh.

²⁰ Only, the prophet, who seethes to word a word in my name, which I never misvahed him to word, or words in the name of other elohim, even that prophet dies.

⁸ and whoever comes not within three days according to the counsel of the governors and the elders, that they devote all his acquisitions and separate him from the congregation of the exiles.

¹³ also spare your servant from the arrogant that they not reign over me: and I am integrious and exonerated from the great rebellion.

¹¹ When the scorner is penalized, the gullible enwisen; and when the wise comprehend, he takes knowledge.

³ From the thirteenth year of Yoshi Yah the son of Amon sovereign of Yah Hudah, even to this day - the twenty-third year, so be the word of Yah Veh to me, and I worded to you, starting early and wording; and you hearkened not: ⁴ and Yah Veh sent to you all his servants the prophets - starting early and sending them; but you neither hearkened nor spread your ear to hear: ⁵ saying, Turn back, I beseech, every man from his evil way, and from the evil of your exploits, and settle in the soil Yah Veh I gave to you and to your fathers eternally and eternally: ⁶ and go not after other elohim to serve them and to prostrate to them; and vex me not with the works of your hands; and I vilify you not. ⁷ And you hearkened not to me - an oracle of Yah Veh and vexed me with the works of your hands to your own evil. ⁸ So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Because you heard not my words, ⁹ Behold, I send and take all the families of the north - an oracle of Yah Veh and Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel my servant - and bring them against this land and against the settlers and against all these goyim all around; and devote them and set them a desolation and a hissing; and eternal parched areas: ¹⁰ I destroy from them the voice of rejoicing and the voice of cheerfulness; the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; the voice of the millstones and the light of the lamp: ¹¹ and this whole land becomes a parched area and a desolation; and these goyim serve the sovereign of Babel seventy years: ¹² and so be it, when seventy years fulfill, I visit on the sovereign of Babel and that goyim - an oracle of Yah Veh for their perversity - and the land of the Kesediym and set it eternal desolations: ¹³ and I bring on that land all the words I worded - all inscribed in this scroll which Yirme Yah prophesied against all the goyim. ¹⁴ For many goyim and great sovereigns are also served by them: and I shalam them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

⁴ yet neither strive with man nor reprove man: for your people are as they who strive with the priest.

¹⁴ and whoever - whenever they neither receive you nor hear your words when you depart from that house or city shake the dust off your feet.

¹⁶ Whoever hears you, hears me; and whoever sets you aside, sets me aside; and whoever sets me aside sets him aside who apostolized me.

⁴⁸ Whoever sets me aside and takes not my rhema has one who judges him: the word I speak judges him in the final day.

²³ whosever sins you release, are released to them; and whose ever sins you hold, are held.

² for you know what evangelisms we gave you through Adonay Yah Shua.

⁸ So whoever sets aside, sets aside not humanity - but Elohim who also gives us his holy Spirit.

²⁰ Reprove them who sin in sight of all so that the rest also awe.

²⁶
SINNING VOLUNTARILY
For if we sin voluntarily after we take the knowledge of the truth, there remains not still sacrifice for sins; ²⁷ but an awesome expectation of judgment and zeal of fire to consume the opposers. ²⁸ Anyone who set aside the torah of Mosheh died apart from compassion under two or three witnesses: ²⁹ of how much worse punishment, think you, is he deemed worthy - who tramples the Son of Elohim? - and deems profane the blood of the covenant wherein he was hallowed? - and insults the Spirit of charism?

³⁰ And the soul who works with lifted hand - native or sojourner reproaches Yah Veh; and that soul becomes cut off from among his people: ³¹ because he despises the word of Yah Veh and breaks his misvah: in cutting off, that soul becomes cut off; his perversity is on him.

²⁰ And they who survive, hear and awe, and add not to work such word of evil among you.

³⁴ When you come into the land of Kenaan, which I give to you for a possession and I give the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

¹
THE TORAH ON MINGLING When Yah Veh your Elohim brings you to the land where you go, to possess it, and plucks many goyim from your face - the Hethiy and the Girgashiy and the Emoriy and the Kenaaniy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy - seven goyim greater and mightier than you;

³¹ Pass over Yarden; go possess the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you - possess it and settle therein:

⁹ for you come not yet to the rest and to the inheritance, Yah Veh your Elohim gives you: ¹⁰ and pass over Yarden and settle in the land Yah Veh your Elohim has you inherit and he gives you rest from all your enemies all around you, so that you settle confidently;

⁹
THE TORAH ON APOSTATIZING When you come to the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you, learn to not work after the abhorrences of those goyim.

¹
THE TORAH ON FIRSTLINGS AND TITHES And so be it, when you come in to the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you - an inheritance and possess it and settle therein;

⁹ and he brought us to this place and gave us this land - a land flowing with milk and honey:

¹³ Remember the word Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh misvahed you, saying, Yah Veh your Elohim rests you, and gives you this land

⁵ and say to him, Behold, you age; and your sons walk not in your ways: now set us a sovereign to judge us - as all the goyim. ⁶ And the word is evil in the eyes of Shemu El, when they say, Give us a sovereign to judge us. - and Shemu El prays to Yah Veh. ⁷ And Yah Veh says to Shemu El, Hearken to the voice of the people in all they say to you: for they refuse not you; but they refuse me; - that I not reign over them.

¹⁹ And the people refuse to hear the voice of Shemu El; and they say, No - a sovereign over us; ²⁰ that we also become as all the goyim; and that our sovereign judge us and go from our face and fight our wars.

¹⁹ And all the people say to Shemu El, Pray to Yah Veh your Elohim that we your servants not die: for we added to all our sins this evil - to ask us a sovereign.

¹⁵ And Yah Veh exposes in the ear of Shemu El one day at the face of the coming of Shaul, saying, ¹⁶ Tomorrow about this time I send you a man from the land of Ben Yamin: anoint him to be eminent over my people Yisra El, to save my people from the hand of the Peleshethiy: for I see my people, because their cry comes to me. ¹⁷ And when Shemu El sees Shaul, Yah Veh answers him, Behold the man of whom I said! This one restrains my people.

²⁴ And Shemu El says to all the people, See him whom Yah Veh chooses - there is no one like him among all the people? And all the people shout and say, The sovereign lives!

¹²
DAVID ANOINTED
And he sends and brings him in: and he is ruddy and of beautiful eyes and goodly to see. And Yah Veh says, Rise! Anoint him! For this is he. ¹³ Then Shemu El takes the horn of oil, and anoints him midst his brothers: and the Spirit of Yah Veh prospers on David from that day onward. - and Shemu El rises and goes to Ramah.

² Also three yesters ago, when Shaul was sovereign over us, it was you who brought out and brought in Yisra El: and Yah Veh said to you, Tend my people Yisra El! Be eminent over Yisra El!

²³
THE WARRIORS OF DAVID OF THE SONS OF YISRA EL
And these are the numbers of the heads equipped to the hostility who come to David to Hebron to turn the sovereigndom of Shaul to him according to the mouth of Yah Veh

¹⁰ he builds a house for my name; and he becomes to me, son and I become to him, father; and I establish the throne of his sovereigndom over Yisra El eternally.

⁵ and of all my sons, - Yah Veh gave me many sons he chooses Shelomoh my son to settle on the throne of the sovereigndom of Yah Veh over Yisra El.

² The sovereigns of the earth station themselves and the potentates set counsel together against Yah Veh and against his anointed.

⁶ And I - I anointed my sovereign on my holy mount Siyon;

²⁵ Withhold your foot from being unshod and your throat from thirst. And you say, I quit! No; I love strangers and after them I go.

²¹ And their mighty become from themselves, and their sovereign proceeds from their midst: and I have him approach; and he approaches to me: for who is this who pleases his heart to approach to me? - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁷ so say to us, What think you? Is it allowed to give tribute to the Kaisar - or not?

¹⁷ And so be it, when Paroh sends the people away, Elohim leads them not by the way of the land of the Peleshethiym because that is near; but because Elohim said, Lest perhaps the people sigh when they see war and return to Misrayim:

¹³ And Mosheh says to the people, Awe not! Stand still and see the salvation of Yah Veh which he works to you today: for the Misrayim whom you see today, you see them never again any more eternally:

³ And why brings Yah Veh us to this land, to fall by the sword? And our women and our children become a plunder? Were it not better for us to return into Misrayim? ⁴ And they say man to brother, We give us a head and return to Misrayim.

⁶⁸ And Yah Veh returns you to Misrayim with ships by the way I said to you, You see it never again: and there you sell yourselves to your enemies for servants and maids - and no man chattels you.

¹¹ and he says, This becomes the judgment of the sovereign who reigns over you: He takes your sons and sets them for himself for his chariots and for his cavalry; at the face of his chariots;

⁴ and David captures from him a thousand and seven hundred cavalry and twenty thousand men on foot: and David uproots/hamstrings all the chariots; only, a hundred of their chariots remain.

⁵
ADONI YAH USURPS LEADERSHIP
And Adoni Yah the son of Haggith lifts himself, saying, I reign. He works chariots and cavalry and fifty men to run at his face:

²⁶ and Shelomoh has forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots and twelve thousand cavalry:

²⁶ And Shelomoh gathers chariots and cavalry: and he has a thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand cavalry whom he guides in the cities for chariots and with the sovereign at Yeru Shalem: ²⁷ and the sovereign gives silver in Yeru Shalem as stones and gives cedars as the sycomore trees in the lowland for abundance: ²⁸ and Shelomoh has horses proceed from Misrayim - and troops: the merchants of the sovereign take the troops at a price:

²⁵ And Shelomoh has four thousand stalls for horses and chariots; and twelve thousand cavalry; which he sets in the chariot cities and with the sovereign at Yeru Shalem:

⁷ - some in chariots - some in horses; and we remember the name of Yah Veh our Elohim.

¹
HO TO THEM WHO LOOK NOT UPON THE HOLY ONE
Ho to them who descend to Misrayim for help; and lean on horses and confide in chariots because they are many; and in cavalry because they are mighty mighty; and neither look to the Holy One of Yisra El nor seek Yah Veh. ² Yet he also is wise and brings evil and turns not aside his words: but rises against the house of the vilifiers, and against the help of them who work mischief. ³ And the Misrayim are human, and not El; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yah Veh spreads his hand the helper falters and the helped falls and they all finish together.

⁸ And now pledge, I beseech you, to my adoni the sovereign of Ashshur, and I give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to give riders on them. ⁹ And how turn you away the face of one governor of the lesser of the servants of my adoni, and confide on Misrayim for chariots and for cavalry?

¹⁴ saying, No! - but we enter the land of Misrayim where we neither see war nor hear the voice of the shophar nor hunger for bread - and there we settle: ¹⁵ and now so, hear the word of Yah Veh - you survivors of Yah Hudah; Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: If in setting, you set your faces to enter Misrayim and go to sojourn there; ¹⁶ then so be it, the sword you fear overtakes you there in the land of Misrayim; and the famine whereof you are concerned adheres to you there in Misrayim - and there you die:

¹⁵ And he rebels against him by sending his angels into Misrayim, so that they give him horses and much people. Prospers he? Escapes he who works such? Or, breaks he the covenant and escapes?

⁵ He returns not to the land of Misrayim, and the Ashshuri is his sovereign - because they refuse to return:

³ Neither Ashshur saves us; nor ride we on horses: nor say we any more to the work of our hands, Our elohim: for in you the orphan is mercied.

²⁴ Thus a man leaves his father and his mother and adheres to his woman - being one flesh.

²
DAVID BIRTHS SONS
And to David sons are birthed in Hebron: and his firstbirthed: Amnon of Achiy Noam the Yizre Eliyth; ³ and his second: Kil Ab of Abi Gail the woman of Nabal the Karmeliy; and the third: Abi Shalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmay sovereign of Geshur; ⁴ and the fourth: Adoni Yah the son of Haggith; and the fifth: Shaphat Yah the son of Abi Tal; ⁵ and the sixth: Yithre Am of Eglah, the woman of David: these were birthed to David in Hebron.

²¹ And all the drinking instruments of sovereign Sholomoh are of gold; and all the instruments of the house of the forest of Lebanon are of concentrated gold; none of silver: such as is not fabricated in the days of Shelomoh.

¹
THE WOMEN OF SHELOMOH
And sovereign Shelomoh loves many strange women together with the daughter of Paroh: women of the Moabiy, Ammoniy, Edomiy, Sidoniy and Hethiy, ² of the goyim - of which Yah Veh says to the sons of Yisra El, Neither go in to them, nor them come in to you: for surely they pervert your heart after their elohim - Shelomoh adheres to these in love: ³ and he has seven hundred women governesses and three hundred concubines: and his women pervert his heart. ⁴ And so be it, at the time Shelomoh ages, his women pervert his heart after other elohim: and his heart is not at shalom with Yah Veh his Elohim as the heart of David his father:

²⁶ Shelomoh sovereign of Yisra El - sinned he not by these? Yet among many goyim there is no sovereign like him - beloved of his Elohim; and Elohim gave him sovereign over all Yisra El: and strange women caused even him to sin.

¹⁰ Neither confide in oppression nor rob in vain; if your valuables flourish, set not your heart.

⁸ vanity and words of lies, remove far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches; tear my statute bread for me; ⁹ - lest I satiate and deny you and say, Who is Yah Veh? Or lest I become dispossessed and steal and take the name of my Elohim.

¹⁵ And worked he not one? Yet he has the spirit of survival. And why one? To seek a seed of Elohim. Guard your spirit that no one deal covertly against the woman of his youth.

¹⁹
TREASURING TREASURES
Treasure not for yourselves treasures on earth; where moth and rust dissolve and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰ but treasure for yourselves treasures in the heavens; where neither moth nor rust dissolve and where thieves neither break through nor steal:

²² And that spored in the thorns is whoever hears the word: and the anxiety of this eon and the deceitfulness of riches strangle the word; and he becomes unfruitful.

⁵ and said, For this cause a human leaves father and mother and adheres to his woman: and they two become one flesh?

²³
THE RICH AND THE SOVEREIGNDOM
So Yah Shua says to his disciples, Amen! I word to you, That a rich man difficultly enters the sovereigndom of the heavens. ²⁴ And again I word to you, It is easier for a rope ^* to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the sovereigndom of Elohim. ^{*rope: see Lamsa}

¹⁵ And he says to them, See, and guard against avarice: for the life of one is not in the super abundance of his holdings.

⁹ And whoever wills to be rich falls into testing and a snare; and into many mindless and injurious pantings, which sink humanity in ruin and destruction.

¹⁷
WARNING THE RICH
Evangelize them who are rich in this eon, that they neither be highminded nor hope in uncertain riches - but in the living Elohim who presents us richly to enjoy all;

⁹
MOSHEH INSCRIBES THE TORAH And Mosheh inscribes this torah; and gives it to the priests the sons of Levi who bear the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh and to all the elders of Yisra El.

²⁴ And so be it, when Mosheh finishes inscribing the words of this torah in a scroll, until they are consummated, ²⁵ that Mosheh misvahs the Leviym, who bear the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh, saying, 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.

¹² And he brings the son of the sovereign and gives the separatism and the witness on him; and they have him reign and anoint him; and they smite their palms and say, The sovereign lives.

⁸ And Hilqi Yah the great priest says to Shaphan the scribe, I found the scroll of the torah in the house of Yah Veh. And Hilqi Yah gives the scroll to Shaphan and he calls it out.

¹⁵ and Hilqi Yah answers and says to Shaphan the scribe, I found the scroll of the torah in the house of Yah Veh. And Hilqi Yah gives the scroll to Shaphan:

¹⁰ The day you stood at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim in Horeb, when Yah Veh said to me, Congregate the people to hear my words - to learn to awe me all the days they live on the soil and to teach their sons.

⁶ And these words, I misvah you this day, become in your heart: ⁷ and point them out to your sons and word of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up: ⁸ and bind them for a sign on your hand and to become phylacteries between your eyes: ⁹ and inscribe them on the posts of your house and on your portals.

¹⁸ Set these my words in your heart and in your soul and bind them for a sign on your hand, to be as phylacteries between your eyes:

⁸ Remove not the scroll of this torah from your mouth; but meditate therein by day and by night; guarding to work according to all inscribed therein: and then you prosper and then you comprehend.

² But his delight is in the torah of Yah Veh; and in his torah he meditates day and night;

⁹⁷ MEM. O how I love your torah - my meditation all the day: ⁹⁸ your misvoth enwisen me above my enemies; for they are eternally with me: ⁹⁹ I comprehend more than all my teachers; for your witnesses are my meditation: ¹⁰⁰ I discern more than the elders; because I guard your precepts:

³⁹ Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and these are those that witness concerning me.

¹⁵ and that from infancy you have known the priestal scribings which are able to enwisen you to salvation through trust in Messiah Yah Shua. ¹⁶
ALL SCRIPTURE IS ELOHIM-SPIRITED
All scripture is Elohim-Spirited and beneficial for doctrine, for proof, for setting straight, for discipline in justness ¹⁷ - to equip the human of Elohim - thoroughly complete/at shalom unto all good works.

² neither add to the word I misvah you, nor diminish from it - to guard the misvoth of Yah Veh your Elohim that I misvah you.

² and remember all the way Yah Veh your Elohim carried you these forty years in the wilderness - to humble you and to test you - to know what was in your heart, whether or not you guarded his misvoth:

¹³ and when your oxen and your flocks abound and your silver and your gold abound and all you have abounds; ¹⁴ and your heart lifts and you forget Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim from the house of servants:

²⁵ Eat not that it well-please you and your sons after you when you work straight in the eyes of Yah Veh.

²⁸ Guard and hear all these words I misvah you that it well-please you and your sons after you eternally, when you work good and straight in the eyes of Yah Veh your Elohim.

³² Whatever word I misvah you, guard to work it: neither add thereto, nor diminish therefrom.

¹¹ - according to the mouth of the torah they point out to you: and work according to the judgment they tell you: turn not aside from the word they tell you - right or left.

¹³ And Shemu El says to Shaul, You follied: you guarded not the misvah of Yah Veh your Elohim which he misvahed you: for by now Yah Veh had established your sovereigndom on Yisra El eternally: ¹⁴ and now, your sovereigndom rises not: Yah Veh sought a man after his own heart and Yah Veh misvahs him eminence over his people, because you guarded not what Yah Veh misvahed you.

²³ For rebellion is the sin of divination and stubbornness, mischief and teraphim: because you refuse the word of Yah Veh he also refuses you from being sovereign.

¹² only, I work it not in your days for sake of David your father: but I rip it from the hand of your son: ¹³ only, I rip not away all the sovereigndom; but give one scion to your son for sake of David my servant and for sake of Yeru Shalem whom I chose.

³⁴ but I take not the whole sovereigndom from his hand: but I set him hierarch all the days of his life for sake of David my servant; whom I chose because he guarded my misvoth and my statutes:

³⁶ and to his son I give one scion; so David my servant has a lamp all days at my face in Yeru Shalem - the city I chose to set my name there.

⁵ because David worked straight in the eyes of Yah Veh and turned not aside from all he misvahed him all the days of his life, except only, in the word of Uri Yah the Hethiy:

³⁰ And Yah Veh says to Yah Hu, Because you work good and straight in my eyes and work to the house of Ach Ab according to all in my heart, your sons to the fourth settle on the throne of Yisra El.

¹⁰ in smiting, you smote Edom and your heart lifts you: be honored and settle at your house: for why coax you to evil only, to fall - you and Yah Hudah with you?

¹⁹ You say, Behold, I smote the Edomiy! - and you lift your heart to honor: settle now in your house; why coax evil so that you fall - you and Yah Hudah with you?

¹⁶ And he strengthens, and exalts his heart to his ruin; and he treasons against Yah Veh his Elohim: and goes into the manse of Yah Veh to incense on the sacrifice altar of incense.

²⁵ and Yechizqi Yah returns not according as he was dealt; for his heart lifts: and there is rage on him and on Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: ²⁶ and Yechizqi Yah humbles himself for the haughtiness of his heart - he and the settlers of Yeru Shalem; so that the rage of Yah Veh comes not on them in the days of Yechizqi Yah:

¹² and he is tribulated, and he strokes the face of Yah Veh his Elohim and humbles himself mightily at the face of Elohim of his fathers;

¹⁹ and his prayer and his entreaty and all his sins and his treason; and the places he built bamahs and stood asherim and sculptiles at the face of his being humbled: behold, they are inscribed among the words of seers/Hozay.

²³ and humbles not himself at the face of Yah Veh as Menash Sheh his father humbled himself: for Amon abounds his guilt.

²⁷ because you tenderize your heart and humble yourself at the face of Elohim - when you hear his words against this place and against the settlers thereof; and humble yourself at my face and rip your clothes and weep at my face; I also hear you - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹¹ Also by them your servant enlightens; and in guarding them is a great final result.

¹ A Song of Degrees: By David. O Yah Veh, neither my heart lifts, nor my eyes loft; nor walk I in greatness or in marvels: ² surely I place myself and hush my soul, as a child weaned from his mother; - my soul as weaned.

¹² If your sons guard my covenant and the witness I teach them, their sons also settle on your throne eternally.

²⁷ To awe Yah Veh adds days; and the years of the wicked curtail.

²⁴ For neither is wealth eternal; nor the separatism generation to generation.

¹³ but not good with the wicked: he prolongs not his days as a shadow; because he awes not at the face of Elohim.

¹² For the day of Yah Veh Sabaoth is upon all the pompous and lofty; and upon all the lifted and abased;

²⁰ and when he lifted his heart and empowered his spirit in seething he was deposed from the throne of his sovereigndom, and his esteem passed from him ²¹ - expelled from the sons of men; and his heart was equated to live beings, and his whirling was with the onagers: they fed him with herbage as bulls, and his body was dyed with the dew of the heavens; until he knew that Elyon Elah is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and that he raises over it whomever he wills. ²² And you his bar, O Bel Shats Tsar, have not abased your heart even though you know all this; ²³ and you lift yourself against the Master of the heavens; and they bring the vessels of his house in front of you; and you and your nobles, your mistresses and your concubines drink fermentation in them; and you laud the elahim of silver and gold, of copper, iron, timber and stone, which neither see nor hear nor know: and Elah in whose hand your breath is, and whose all your ways are, you esteem not.

⁴ Behold, one swells up! his soul within is not straight: and the just lives by his trustworthiness.

⁷
THE THORN OF PAULOS
And lest I be superciliously exalted through the excellence of the apocalypses, I was given a thorn in the flesh - an angel of Satan to punch me, lest I be superciliously exalted. ^{Numbers 33:55, Joshua 23:13, Judges 2:3, Ezekiel El 28:24, Nahum 1:10}

⁵ Likewise, younger: subjugate yourselves to the elder. Yes, all subjugate to one another and enrobe with humblemindedness: because Elohim opposes the proud and gives charism to the humble.
