THE CONTROVERSY OF YAH VEH
Hear the word of Yah Veh, you sons of Yisra El: because of a controversy of Yah Veh with the settlers of the land; because there is neither truth nor mercy nor knowledge of Elohim in the land:

⁹ and so be it, as people, as priest: and I visit on them for their ways, and return their exploits.

¹³ they sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my holocausts, and eat; Yah Veh is not pleased with them; now he remembers their perversity and visits their sins: they return to Misrayim.

⁹ They deepen; they ruin as in the days of Gibah: he remembers their perversity; he visits their sins.

² Hear the controversy of Yah Veh, O mountains, and you perennial foundations of the earth: for Yah Veh has a controversy with his people and he reproves Yisra El.

²⁷ For the Son of humanity comes in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he gives each according to his acts.

⁶ who gives back to each according to his works:

⁷ be not seduced: Elohim is not snubbed: for whatever a human spores he also harvests;

²⁶ and after that his brother comes out and his hand takes hold on the heel of Esav and they call his name Yaaqov: and Yischaq is a son of sixty years when she births them.

²⁴ And Yaaqov remains alone; and there a man wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn: ²⁵ and when he sees that he prevails not against him, he touches the hollow of his flank; and the hollow of the flank of Yaaqov dislocates as he wrestles with him: ²⁶ and he says, Send me away, for the dawn ascends. And he says, I send you not away, unless you bless me.
YAAQOV NAMED YISRA EL ²⁷ And he says to him, What is your name? And he says, Yaaqov. ²⁸ And he says, Your name is said no more Yaaqov, but Yisra El: for you prevail with Elohim and with men - and prevail.

¹¹ neither being yet birthed, nor having transacted any good or evil, that the prothesis of Elohim according to selection abide, not of works, but of him who calls;

¹⁶ Confess your backslidings to one another and vow for one another, to be healed. The energized petition of the just is mighty enough. ¹⁷ Eli Yah was a human, like-passioned as we; and he prayed a prayer that it rain not: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. ¹⁸ And he prayed again and the heavens gave rain and the earth sprouted her fruit.

¹¹ and he encounters a certain place and stays there overnight, because the sun had set; and he takes stones of that place and sets them for his headpieces; and lays down in that place: ¹² and he dreams, and behold, a ladder stationed on the earth and the top thereof touches the heavens: and behold the angels of Elohim ascending and descending thereon: ¹³ and behold, Yah Veh stations himself above it and says, I - Yah Veh Elohim of Abraham your father and Elohim of Yischaq: I give the land whereon you lie to you and to your seed; ¹⁴ and your seed becomes as the dust of the earth and you break forth to the sea and to the east and to the north and to the south: and in you and in your seed all the families of the soil become blessed. ¹⁵ And behold, I am with you and guard you everywhere you go; and return you into this soil; for I leave you not until I work what I word to you. ¹⁶ And Yaaqov wakens from his sleep, and he says, Surely Yah Veh is in this place; and I know it not. ¹⁷ And he awes and says, How awesome this place! this is none other but Beth Elohim and this is the portal of the heavens. ¹⁸ And Yaaqov starts early in the morning and takes the stone he set for his headpieces and sets it for a monolith; and pours oil on the top thereof: ¹⁹ and he calls the name of that place Beth El: but the name of that city was Luz at first.

⁹ And Yaaqov says, O Elohim of my father Abraham and Elohim of my father Yischaq, Yah Veh who says to me, Return to your land and to your kindred and I well-please you: ¹⁰ I am less than the least of all the mercies and of all the truth, you worked to your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Yarden; and now I become two camps: ¹¹ rescue me, I beseech you, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esav: for I awe him, lest he comes and smites me and the mother with the sons. ¹² And you - you say, In well-pleasing, I well-please you and set your seed as the sand of the sea which cannot be scribed for abundance.

²⁹ And Yaaqov asks him and says, Tell me, I beseech you, your name. And he says, Why ask you my name? - and he blesses him there.

⁹ And Elohim appears to Yaaqov again, when he comes from Paddan Aram, and blesses him. ¹⁰
ELOHIM CONFIRMS THE NAME YISRA EL
And Elohim says to him, Your name is Yaaqov: your name is no more called Yaaqov, but Yisra El is your name: and he calls his name Yisra El.

¹⁵ and Yaaqov calls the name of the place Elohim worded with him, Beth El.

¹⁵ And he blesses Yoseph and says, Elohim, at whose face my fathers Abraham and Yischaq walked, Elohim who tends me all my life long to this day,

² And the angel of Yah Veh appears to him in a flame of fire from midst a bush: and he sees and behold, the bush kindles with fire, and the bush is not consumed. ³ And Mosheh says, I turn aside, I beseech you, see this great visage - why the bush is not consumed. ⁴ And Yah Veh sees he turns aside to see, and Elohim calls to him from midst the bush, and says, Mosheh! Mosheh! And he says, Here - I. ⁵ And he says, Approach not here: put your shoes off your feet; for the place whereon you stand is holy soil.

⁶ He turned the sea into dry; they passed through the river on foot: there we cheered in him.

⁹ In all their tribulation, he tribulates not; and the angel of his face saves them: in his love and in his compassion he redeemed them and he bore them - bore them all the days of antiquity.

PROPHECY OF THE ANGEL OF YAH VEH AND HIS ADONAY
Behold, I send my angel, and he faces the way at my face: and the Adonay, whom you seek, suddenly comes to his manse - even the angel of the covenant in whom you delight! Behold, he comes, says Yah Veh Sabaoth. ^{Matthew 11:10, Mark 1:2, Luke 7:27}

³⁰ And forty years fulfill/shalam, and an angel of Yah Veh appears to him in a flame of fire in a brier in the wilderness of mount Sinay. ³¹ And Mosheh sees, and marvels at the vision: and as he draws near to perceive it, the voice of Yah Veh becomes to him, ³² I - Elohim of your fathers; Elohim of Abraham and Elohim of Yischaq and Elohim of Yaaqov. - so Mosheh trembles, and dares not perceive. ³³ And Yah Veh says to him, Loose your shoes from your feet: for the place whereon you stand is holy land. ³⁴ In seeing, I see the vilification of my people in Misrayim and I hear their sighing; and descend to release them. And now come, I apostolize you to Misrayim. ³⁵ This Mosheh whom they denied, saying, Who seated you an arch and judge? this same one Elohim apostolized arch and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the brier. ^{Exodus 3:2-6}

¹⁷ then we the living who survive are seized simultaneously with them in the clouds to meet Adonay in the air: and thus we ever be with Adonay.

⁷ - who in the days of his flesh when he offered petitions and entreaties, with mighty crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death and was heard by his revering; ^{Psalm 19:9}

¹³ For when Elohim pre-evangelized to Abraham - since he could oath by no greater he oathed by himself, ¹⁴ wording, Surely in blessing, I bless you and in multiplying I multiply you. ^{Genesis 22:16,17 15} And thus, being patient, he obtained the pre-evangelism. ¹⁶ For humanity indeed oaths by the greater: and an oath establishes a finality of all controversy. ¹⁷ Wherein Elohim willed more superabundantly to show the heirs of pre-evangelism the immutability of his counsel, he confirmed it by an oath: ¹⁸ that through two immutable matters, in which it is impossible for Elohim to lie, we who fled for refuge, have a mighty consolation to empower the hope set in front of us:

¹⁶ And Yaaqov wakens from his sleep, and he says, Surely Yah Veh is in this place; and I know it not.

³⁰ And Yaaqov calls the name of the place Peni El: for I saw Elohim face to face and my soul is rescued.

¹⁵ And again Elohim says to Mosheh, Say thus to the sons of Yisra El, Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers, Elohim of Abraham, Elohim of Yischaq and Elohim of Yaaqov, sends me to you: this is my name eternally and this is my memorial generation to generation.

¹³ O Yah Veh, your name, eternal; O Yah Veh, your memorial, generation to generation:

⁸ I - Yah Veh: that is my name: and I neither give my honor to another, nor my halal to sculptiles.

¹⁸ I await your salvation, O Yah Veh.

¹⁴ Await Yah Veh! Prevail; and he strengthens your heart; yes, await Yah Veh.

⁷ Be still in Yah Veh and writhe for him; inflame not because of him who prospers in his way - because of the man who works intrigue.

² Behold, as the eyes of servants to the hand of their adonim; as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her lady; thus our eyes to Yah Veh our Elohim, until he grants us charism.

⁵ I await Yah Veh; my soul awaits: in his word I await. ⁶ My soul is for Adonay more than they who guard for morning - who guard for morning. ⁷ Yisra El, await Yah Veh; for with Yah Veh there is mercy and with him redemption abounds;

²³ Turn at my reproof; behold, I gush my spirit to you; I make known my words to you.

³ To work justice and judgment is chosen of Yah Veh, rather than sacrifice.

¹⁶ Baptize yourself; purify yourself; turn aside the evil of your exploitations from in front of my eyes: cease to vilify;

¹⁷ And I await Yah Veh who hides his face from the house of Yaaqov, and I await him.

¹⁸ and so Yah Veh waits to grant you charism - he is exalted to mercy you: for Yah Veh is an Elohim of judgment: blithesome - all who await him.

⁶ You, turn to him from whom the sons of Yisra El deepen revolt:

³¹ but they who await Yah Veh, change their force; they ascend with pinions as eagles; they run, and belabor not; and they walk, and weary not.

⁶ Seek Yah Veh while he is to be found; call on him while he is near: ⁷ the wicked forsake his way; and the man of mischief, his fabrications: and he returns to Yah Veh, and he mercies him; and to our Elohim, for he abounds to forgive.

⁶ Is not the fast I chose thus: To loose the bands of wickedness? To undo the bundles of the yoke pole? And to send the crushed away liberated? And to tear every yoke pole?

¹⁴ Turn, O apostate sons - an oracle of Yah Veh for I am married to you: and I take you, one of a city and two of a family and I bring you to Siyon: ¹⁵ and according to my heart, I give you tenders to tend you with knowledge and comprehension: 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. ¹⁷ At that time they call Yeru Shalem the throne of Yah Veh; and all the goyim congregate to it, to the name of Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem: and they walk no more after the warp of their evil heart. ¹⁸ In those days the house of Yah Hudah walks with the house of Yisra El; and they come together from the land of the north to the land your fathers inherited. ¹⁹ And I say, How place I you among the sons and give you a land of desire - a splendid inheritance of the hosts of goyim? And I say, Call me, My father; and turn not away from after me. ²⁰ Surely as a woman deals covertly with her friend, thus you deal covertly with me, O house of Yisra El - an oracle of Yah Veh. ²¹ A voice on the barrens - hear! Weeping supplications of the sons of Yisra El: for they pervert their way and they forget Yah Veh their Elohim. ²² Return, you apostate sons, and I heal your apostasies. Behold, we come to you; for you are Yah Veh our Elohim.

¹⁵ Reign you, because you are inflamed in cedar? Your father - ate and drank he not? Yes, he worked judgment and justness - and for his own good:

²⁵ Yah Veh is good to them who await him - to the soul who seeks him: ²⁶ - good to await - to silently await the salvation of Yah Veh.

³⁹ Why sighs any living human - the mighty for his sins? ⁴⁰ We search our ways and probe and return to Yah Veh; ⁴¹ we lift our heart with palms to El in the heavens;

¹
THE CALL TO YISRA EL TO RETURN TO YAH VEH
Come, and return to Yah Veh: for he tears, and he heals us; he smites, and he binds us: ² after two days he enlivens us; in the third day he raises us; and we live at his face. ³ And we know - we pursue to know Yah Veh: as the dawn he prepares his proceeding; and he comes to us as the downpour - as the after rain pouring to the earth.

¹² Seed to yourselves in justness; harvest to your mouth mercy; till your tillage: for it is time to seek Yah Veh, until he comes and pours justness on you.

¹
YAH VEH APPEALS TO YISRA EL
O Yisra El, return to Yah Veh your Elohim; for you falter by your perversity.

¹³ and rip your heart and not your clothes; and turn to Yah Veh your Elohim: for he is charismatic and merciful slow to wrath and of great mercy; and he sighs concerning the evil.

²⁴ and judgment rolls as waters and justness as a perennial wadi.

⁸ He tells you, O humanity, what is good. And what requires Yah Veh of you - except to work judgment and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your Elohim?

⁷
THE SURVIVORS IN THE FINAL DAYS
And I - I watch to Yah Veh; I await Elohim of my salvation: my Elohim hears me.

³ for the vision is yet for a season; and at the end it breathes and lies not: though it tarries, await; because in coming, it comes; it delays not.

⁸
THE JUDGMENT OF THE GOYIM
So await me - an oracle of Yah Veh until the day I rise to the prey: for my judgment is to gather goyim; to gather sovereigndoms; to pour my rage on them - all my fuming wrath: for I consume all the earth with the fire of my jealousy.

³ You, say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: You, turn to me, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, and I turn to you - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

⁹ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: saying, Judge judgment in truth, and every man, work mercy and mercies to his brother:

¹⁶ These are the words you work; Every man of you, word truth to his friend; judge truth and judgment of shalom in your portals:

³⁸ And Petros says to them, Repent and be baptized - each of you in the name of Yah Shua Messiah to the forgiveness of sins, and take the gratuity of the Holy Spirit:

²⁰ but evangelized first to them of Dammeseq and at Yeru Shalem and to all the regions of Yah Hudah and to the goyim - to repent and turn to Elohim and transact works worthy of repentance.

²⁷ Pure and unpolluted ceremony with Elohim and the Father is this: To scope out the orphans and widows in their tribulation and to guard himself unstained from the cosmos.

¹³ For whoever deals no mercy has unmercied judgment; and mercy exults against judgment.

³⁵ Work no wickedness in judgment, in measurement, in weight, or in quantity. ³⁶ Have balances of justness, stones of justness, an ephah of justness and a hin of justness, I - Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim.

³ Behold, here am I: answer against me in front of Yah Veh and in front of his anointed: Whose ox took I? Whose he burro took I? Whom extorted I? Whom crushed I? Of whose hand took I a koper/an atonement to veil my eyes therewith? - and I restore it to you.

¹ Balances of deceit are an abhorrence to Yah Veh; and a stone of shalom is his pleasure.

¹¹ A just weight and balance are of Yah Veh; all the stones of the pouch are his work.

⁵ And the people exact, man upon man; even man upon his friend: the lads abuse against the aged and the base against the honorable.

³ and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; Your origin and your kindred is of the land of Kenaan - your father an Emoriy and your mother a Hethiy:

²⁹ The people of the land in oppressing, oppress; and in stripping, strip; and vex the humble and needy: yes, they oppress the sojourner without judgment.

⁷ who gulp after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and pervert the way of the humble: and a man and his father going in to the lass to profane my holy name:

⁹ O that it be heard in the citadels at Ashdod and in the citadels in the land of Misrayim, and say, Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Shomeron, and see the great confusions in the midst and the oppressed in the midst.

¹
YISRA EL UNREPENTANT
Hear this word, you heifers of Bashan in the mountain of Shomeron - who oppress the poor; who crush the needy; who say to their adonim, Bring, and we drink.

¹¹ so because you trample on the poor and take his burdens of grain; you build houses of hewn stone, and you settle not therein; you plant vineyards of desire, and you drink not their wine.

⁵ saying, When passes the new moon, to market kernels? - the shabbath, to open grain? - to lessen the ephah and greaten the shekel? - to twist the balances by deceit? ⁶ - to chattel the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes? - to market kernels, the chaff of the grain?

¹ Ho to them who fabricate mischief - who work evil on their beds! In the light of the morning, they work because it is in the el of their hand:

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH TO YAAQOV AND YISRA EL
And I say, Hear, I beseech you, O heads of Yaaqov and you commanders of the house of Yisra El; Is it not for you to know judgment? ² - Who hate the good and love the evil? Who strip their skin from off them and their flesh from off their bones? ³ Who eat the flesh of my people? They strip their skin and they break their bones; and spread them as for the caldron and as flesh within the caldron.

¹⁰ Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked? And the emaciated ephah that enrages? ¹¹ Purify I them with balances of wickedness? And with the pouch of stones of deceit?

² the merciful destruct from the earth; and no one among humanity is straight: they all lurk for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net

²¹ and so be every caldron in Yeru Shalem and in Yah Hudah - holy to Yah Veh Sabaoth: and all who sacrifice come and take thereof, and stew therein: and in that day, the Kenaaniy is no more in the house of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

⁵ And I approach you for judgment; and I become a hasty witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against false oathers and against those who oppress the hireling in his hire - the widow and the orphan; and who pervert the sojourner and awe me not, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹⁶ and says to them who sell doves, Take these hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.

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. ¹⁰ For befriending silver is the root of all evil: which, while some reach for, strayed from the trust and pierced themselves through with many griefs.

⁴ Behold, the hire of the workers who ingathered your regions - whom you cheated, cries out: and the cries of them who harvest enter the ears of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹⁷ and you said in your heart, My force and the might of my hand worked me this valour.

²⁴ If I set gold my hope or said to the ore, My confidence! ²⁵ if I cheer because my valuables are great and because my hand found much;

⁶ They who confide in their valuables - in the abundance of their riches halal themselves.

⁷ behold the mighty who sets not Elohim as his stronghold - who confides in the abundance of his riches - who strengthens himself in his calamity.

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

¹² there is a generation - pure in their own eyes but not washed from their own dung:

²⁰ Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats and wipes her mouth and says, I do no mischief.

¹³ For he said, By the force of my hand, I worked; and by my wisdom, I discerned: and I turned aside the borders of the people and plundered their treasures; and I brought down the settlers as the mighty: ¹⁴ and my hand found, as a nest, the valuables of the people: and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; and no one flapped the wing or gaped the mouth or chirped.

²³ How say you, I am not fouled: I go not after Baalim? See your way in the valley; know what you worked - a swift dromedary entangling her ways;

³⁵ Yet you say, Because I am exonerated, surely his wrath turns from me. Behold, I judge you, because you say, I sin not.

¹⁶ so he sacrifices to his net and incenses to his dragnet; because by them his allotment is fat, and his food fattens.

⁵ Yes also, because he deals covertly by wine; arrogant is the mighty - who rests not in his habitation - who enlarges his soul as sheol; and as death, is never satisfied: and gathers all goyim to himself, and gathers all people to himself. ⁶ They, all of them, lift they not a proverb against him? and a satire riddle against him? and say, Ho to him who abounds in what is not his! How long? And to him who heavies himself with heavy pledges!

⁵ whose chattelers slaughter them, and they guilt not: and they who sell them say, Blessed - Yah Veh; for I enrich: and their own tenders spare them not.

¹⁷ You belabor Yah Veh with your words: yet you say, Wherein belabor we him? By saying, Every one who works evil is good in the eyes of Yah Veh, and he delights in them! - or, Where is the Elohim of judgment?

¹³ Your words prevail against me, says Yah Veh. Yet you say, What word we against you?

²⁹ But he wills to justify himself, and says to Yah Shua, And who is my neighbor?

¹⁹ and say to my soul, Soul, you have vast goods laid for many years; Rest! Eat! Drink! Rejoice!

¹³ No housekeeper can serve two adonim: for either he hates the one and loves the other; or else he upholds the one and disesteems the other. You cannot serve Elohim and mammon.

¹⁵ And he says to them, You justify yourselves in the sight of humanity; but Elohim knows your hearts: for what is high among humanity is abomination in the sight of Elohim.

⁵ human diatribes of corrupt minds, deprived of the truth, presuming reverence to be gain: depart from such:

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;

¹⁷ because you word, Because I am rich and enriched and need naught! - and know not that you are miserable and least mercied and poor and blind and naked:

²⁷ And the lads grow: and Esav is a man knowing hunting - a man of the field; and Yaaqov - an integrious man, settling in tents:

² I - Yah Veh your Elohim, who brought you from the land of Misrayim, from the house of servants.

³⁶ Have balances of justness, stones of justness, an ephah of justness and a hin of justness, I - Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim.

⁴⁰ and on the first day, take the boughs of majestic trees, palms of palm trees and the fruit of thick trees and willows of the wadi; and cheer at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim seven days: ⁴¹ and celebrate a celebration to Yah Veh seven days in the year - an eternal statute in your generations: celebrate it in the seventh month. ⁴² Sit in sukkoth/brush arbors seven days; all Yisra Eliy birthed, sit in sukkoth/brush arbors ⁴³ - so that your generations know that I sat the sons of Yisra El in sukkoth/brush arbors when I brought them from the land of Misrayim: I - Yah Veh your Elohim.

¹³ I - Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim that you not be their servants; and I break the yoke poles of your yoke and carry you erect.

⁴¹ I - Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim, to become your Elohim: I - Yah Veh your Elohim.

² And the sovereign says to Nathan the prophet, See, I pray you, I settle in a house of cedar, but the ark of Elohim settles within curtains.

⁴
THE RESTORATION OF THE WORSHIP
And they work the celebration of sukkoth/brush arbors as inscribed: and the day by day holocausts by number according to the judgment, as the day by day word required.

¹⁵ and they are heard passing a voice in all their cities and in Yeru Shalem, saying, Go forth to the mount and fetch olive leaves and leaves of oil trees and myrtle leaves and palm tree leaves and leaves of thick trees, to work sukkoth/brush arbors, as inscribed. ¹⁶ And the people go and bring and work themselves sukkoth/brush arbors, - each man on the roof of his house and in their courts and in the courts of the house of Elohim and in the broadway of the water portal and in the broadway of the portal of Ephrayim. ¹⁷ And all the congregation who returned from the captivity work sukkoth/brush arbors and settle under the sukkoth/brush arbors: for since the days of Yah Shua the son of Nun to that day the sons of Yisra El had not worked thus: and there is mighty great cheerfulness:

¹⁰ I - Yah Veh your Elohim, who ascended you from the land of Misrayim; enlarges your mouth; and I fill it.

⁷ neither build house nor seed seed nor plant vineyard: have none: and settle all your days in tents; so that you live many days in the face of the soil where you sojourn.

⁴ Yet I - Yah Veh your Elohim from the land of Misrayim and you know no elohim except me: for there is no saviour except me.

⁴ For I ascended you from the land of Misrayim and redeemed you from the house of servants; and ere your face I sent Mosheh, Aharon, and Miryam.

¹⁶ And so be it, every one of all the goyim who remain who come against Yeru Shalem ascend sufficiently year by year to prostrate to the Sovereign Yah Veh Sabaoth; and to celebrate the celebration of sukkoth/brush arbors. ¹⁷ And so be it, whoever, of the families of the earth, who ascend not to Yeru Shalem to prostrate to the Sovereign Yah Veh Sabaoth, even on them is downpour. ¹⁸ And if the family of Misrayim neither ascend nor come, then the plague is on them wherewith Yah Veh smites the goyim who ascend not to celebrate the celebration of sukkoth/brush arbors: ¹⁹ so be it for the sin of Misrayim and for the sin of all goyim who ascend not celebrate the celebration of sukkoth/brush arbors.

²
THE TABERNACLE STAKING CELEBRATION - SUKKOTH/BRUSH ARBORS
And the celebration of the Yah Hudiym of tabernacle staking is near.

⁹ By trust he settled in the land of pre-evangelism, as in anothers, settling in tabernacles with Yischaq and Yaaqov - co-heirs of the same pre-evangelism: ¹⁰ for he awaited a city having foundations, whose artificer and public worker is Elohim. ¹¹ By trust Sara also took dynamis to conceive sperma - and birthed when she was beyond the season of maturescence; since she deemed him who had pre-evangelized trustworthy. ¹² So even of one and him as good as dead birthed a multitude exactly as the stars of the sky and innumerable as the sand by the sea shore. ¹³ These all died in trust not taking the pre-evangelisms; but seeing them afar: and were convinced and saluted and professed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

⁶ and he says, Hear I beseech, my words: If your prophet is of Yah Veh I make myself known to him in a vision and word to him in a dream.

¹
THE MAN OF ELOHIM WITH THE WORD OF YAH VEH
And behold, there comes a man of Elohim from Yah Hudah by the word of Yah Veh to Beth El: and Yarob Am stands by the sacrifice altar to incense:

⁷ Go, say to Yarob Am, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, Because I exalted you from among the people; and gave you eminence over my people Yisra El; ⁸ and ripped the sovereigndom from the house of David; and gave it to you: and you became not as my servant David - who guarded my misvoth - who walked after me with all his heart - to work only, straight in my eyes: ⁹ and vilified to work above all who are at your face: and went and worked other elohim and molten to vex me; and cast me behind your back: ¹⁰ therefore, behold, I bring evil on the house of Yarob Am, and cut off from Yarob Am him who urinates against the wall, him who restrains and is left in Yisra El; and burn away the posterity of the house of Yarob Am as a man burns away dung balls until they are consumed: ¹¹ he of Yarob Am who dies in the city the dogs devour; and he who dies in the field the flyers of the heavens devour: for Yah Veh has worded. ¹² And you, rise; go to your own house: when your feet enter the city, the child dies: ¹³ and all Yisra El chops over him and entombs him: for of Yarob Am, only, he comes to the tomb; because in him there is found a good word toward Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El in the house of Yarob Am. ¹⁴ And Yah Veh raises a sovereign over Yisra El, to cut off the house of Yarob Am that day. And what? Even now! ¹⁵ For Yah Veh smites Yisra El as a stalk wags in the water; and uproots Yisra El from this good soil he gave to their fathers; and scatters them beyond the river because they work their asherim - vexing Yah Veh: ¹⁶ and he gives up Yisra El because of the sins Yarob Am sins - who had Yisra El sin.

¹
RAVENS SUSTAIN ELI YAH
And Eli Yah the Tisbehiy of the settlers of Gilad, says to Ach Ab, Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El lives, at whose face I stand, neither dew nor rain becomes these years, except as according to my mouth.

²¹ And Eli Yah comes near all the people, and says, How long limp you divided in two? If Yah Veh be Elohim, go after him! And if Baal, go after him! - and the people answer him not a word. ²² Then Eli Yah says to the people, I - I only, remain a prophet of Yah Veh; but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men: ²³ have them give us two bullocks; and they choose one bullock for themselves and dismember it and set it on timber and set no fire: and I work one bullock and give it on timber and set no fire: ²⁴ and you call on the name of your elohim and I call on the name of Yah Veh: and the elohim who answers by fire - he is Elohim. And all the people answer and say, Good word. ²⁵ And Eli Yah says to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves and work it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your elohim, but set no fire. ²⁶ And they take the bullock he gives them and they work it; and call on the name of Baal from morning even until noon saying, O Baal, answer us. - and there is neither voice, nor answer: and they leap on the sacrifice altar they worked. ²⁷ And so be it, at noon, Eli Yah mocks them and says, Call out with a great voice; for he is elohim: either he meditates or withdraws or journeys or perhaps he sleeps and wakens. ²⁸ And they call with a great voice and incise themselves according to their judgment with swords and javelins, until blood pours over them: ²⁹ and so be it, noon passes, and they prophesy until the holocaust of the offering; and there is neither voice nor any answering, nor any hearkening. ³⁰ And Eli Yah says to all the people, Come near to me. - and all the people come near him. And he heals the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh that is demolished: ³¹ and Eli Yah takes twelve stones - according to the number of the scions of the sons of Yaaqov, - to whom the word of Yah Veh became saying, Yisra El becomes your name: ³² and with the stones he builds a sacrifice altar in the name of Yah Veh: and he works a channel all around the sacrifice altar to house two seahs of seed: ³³ and he lines up the timber and dismembers the bullock and sets him on the timber and says, Fill four pitchers with water and pour it on the holocaust and on the timber. ³⁴ And he says, Double! - and they double. And he says, Triple! - and they triple. ³⁵ And the water goes all around the sacrifice altar; and he also fills the channel with water. ³⁶ And so be it, at the holocaust of the offering, Eli Yah the prophet comes near and says, Yah Veh Elohim of Abraham, Yischaq, and Yisra El, so be it known this day that you are Elohim in Yisra El and I your servant: and by your word I work all these. ³⁷ Answer me, O Yah Veh, answer me, so that this people knows you are Yah Veh Elohim and that you turn their heart backward. ³⁸ Then the fire of Yah Veh falls; and consumes the holocaust and the timber and the stones and the dust and licks up the water in the channel. ³⁹ And all the people see, and fall on their faces and say, Yah Veh, he is Elohim! Yah Veh, he is Elohim! ⁴⁰ And Eli Yah says to them, Apprehend the prophets of Baal; that not a man of them escape. - and they apprehend them. And Eli Yah descends them to the wadi Qishon and slaughters them there.

¹⁰ And he says, In being zealous, I am zealous for Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth: for the sons of Yisra El forsook your covenant, demolished your sacrifice altars and slaughtered your prophets with the sword; and I - I only, remain; and they seek to take away my soul.

¹³ And Yah Veh witnesses against Yisra El and against Yah Hudah, by the hand of all the prophets and by all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways and guard my misvoth and my statutes, according to all the torah I misvahed your fathers - which I send to you by the hand of my servants the prophets.

³⁰ and for many years you draw them and witness against them by your Spirit in the hand of your prophets; and they hearkened not: so you gave them into the hand of the people of the lands.

¹
SONG OF THE VINEYARD
I beseech, that I sing to my beloved - a song of my beloved touching his vineyard - my beloved has a vineyard in the horn of the son of oil: ² and he walls it and stones the stones; and plants with the choice, and builds a tower in the midst; and also makes a trough therein: and he awaits it to work grapes and it works stinkweeds. ³ And now, O settlers of Yeru Shalem and men of Yah Hudah, judge, I beseech you, between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What more work I to my vineyard that I worked not therein? Why, when I awaited it to work grapes, worked it stinkweeds? ⁵ And now go to; I have you know what I work to my vineyard: I turn aside the hedge and burn it; and breach the wall to trample on: ⁶ and I place it desolate - neither plucked nor hoed; and briers and thorns ascend: and I misvah the thick clouds to rain no rain thereon. ⁷ For the vineyard of Yah Veh Sabaoth is the house of Yisra El, and the men of Yah Hudah his plant of delights: and he awaits judgment; and behold, oppression: for justness; and behold, a cry.

² at the same time, Yah Veh words by the hand of Yesha Yah the son of Amos, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth from your loins, and pull your shoe from your foot. - and thus he works, walking naked and unshod. ³ And Yah Veh says, As my servant Yesha Yah walks naked and unshod three years for a sign and omen upon Misrayim and upon Kush; ⁴ thus the sovereign of Ashshur drives away the Misrayim prisoners and the Kushi exiles - lads and aged, naked and unshod, even with their buttocks stripped to the nakedness of Misrayim. ⁵ - and they terrify and shame of Kush their expectation and of Misrayim their adornment.

²⁵ Since the day your fathers came forth from the land of Misrayim, to this day, I even sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily starting early and sending them:

¹
THE FLAX GIRDLE
Thus says Yah Veh to me, Go and chattel yourself a flax girdle; and set it on your loins and put it not in water. ² And I chatteled a girdle according to the word of Yah Veh, and set it on my loins. ³ And so be the word of Yah Veh to me secondly, saying, ⁴ Take the girdle you chatteled, on your loins, and rise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. ⁵ - and I go and hide it by Euphrates as Yah Veh misvahed me. ⁶ And so be it, at the end of many days, Yah Veh says to me, Rise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I misvahed you to hide there. ⁷ And I go to Euphrates, and dig, and take the girdle from the place I hid it: and behold, the girdle is ruined - prospering for naught. ⁸ And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ⁹ Thus says Yah Veh, Thus I ruin the pomp of Yah Hudah and the great pomp of Yeru Shalem. ¹⁰ This evil people, who refuses to hear my words, who walk in the warp of their heart and walk after other elohim - to serve them and to prostrate to them, becomes as this girdle, prospering for naught. ¹¹ For as the girdle adheres to the loins of a man, thus I have the whole house of Yisra El and the whole house of Yah Hudah adhere to me - an oracle of Yah Veh to be to me for a people and for a name and for a halal and for an adornment: and they hearken not. ¹²
WINEBAGS
Say this word to them; Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, Every bag is filled with wine. And they say to you, In knowing, know we not that every bag is filled with wine? ¹³ Then you say to them, Thus says Yah Veh, Behold, I fill all the settlers of this land, even the sovereigns who sit on the throne of David and the priests and the prophets and all the settlers of Yeru Shalem with intoxication: ¹⁴ and I shatter them, man against brother - even the fathers and the sons together - an oracle of Yah Veh: I neither compassion nor spare nor mercy - for their ruin.

¹
THE BROKEN INSTRUMENT
Thus says Yah Veh, Go and chattel a potsherd bottle of the former, of the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests;

¹⁰ And you break the bottle in the eyes of the men going with you,

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:

¹
THE SIEGE OF YERU SHALEM
And you, son of humanity, take a brick and give it at your face; and engrave thereon the city, Yeru Shalem: ² and give siege against it and build a battering tower against it and pour a mound against it; and give the camp against it, and set rams against it all around: ³ and take an iron griddle to yourself; and give it for a wall of iron between you and between the city: and establish your face against it; and it becomes under siege and you siege against it - a sign to the house of Yisra El. ⁴ And lie on your left side and set the perversity of the house of Yisra El thereon: according to the number of the days you lie thereon you bear their perversity: ⁵ and I - I give on you the years of their perversity according to the number of the days - three hundred and ninety days: thus you bear the perversity of the house of Yisra El.

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE CONSUMED VINE
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ² Son of humanity, what is the vine tree more than any tree, - a twig among the trees of the forest? ³ Is timber taken to work any work? Or a stake taken to hang any instrument thereon? ⁴ Behold, it is given into the fire for fuel; the fire consumes both the ends thereof and scorches the midst thereof. Prospers it for work? ⁵ Behold, in being integrious, it works no work: How much less work works it when the fire consumes and scorches? ⁶ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: As I give the vine tree among the trees of the forest as fire for fuel, thus I give the settlers of Yeru Shalem: ⁷ and I give my face against them; they come from the fire; and fire consumes them: and you know I - Yah Veh when I set my face against them: ⁸ and I give the land desolate, because they treason a treason - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. \ par

⁴⁹ Then I say, Aha, Adonay Yah Veh! they say of me, Proverbializes he not proverbs?

²
HOSHEA MARRIES GOMER
The beginning of the word of Yah Veh by Hoshea: And Yah Veh says to Hoshea, Go, take to yourself a woman of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land whores from Yah Veh. ³
GOMER BIRTHS YIZRE EL
And he goes and takes Gomer the daughter of Diblaim who conceives and births him a son. ⁴ And Yah Veh says to him, Call his name Yizre El/El Seeds; for yet a little, and I visit the blood of Yizre El on the house of Yah Hu, and shabbathize the sovereigndom of the house of Yisra El. ⁵ And so be it, at that day, I break the bow of Yisra El in the valley of Yizre El.

¹
THE RECONCILIATION OF HOSHEA
Then Yah Veh says to me, Go again; love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress, according to the love of Yah Veh toward the sons of Yisra El, who face other elohim and love cakes of grapes.

²⁸
THE SPIRIT OF YAH VEH POURS ON ALL FLESH
And so be it, afterward, I pour my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters prophesy; your elders dream dreams; your youths see visions:

¹⁴ Then Amos answers and says to Amas Yah, I am neither a prophet nor a son of a prophet; but I am a herdman and a pincher of sycomores:

¹⁷ And it becomes, in the final days, words Elohim, I pour of my Spirit on all flesh: and your sons and your daughters prophesy, and your youths see visions, and your elders dream dreams:

¹
PAULOS IN PARADISE
It is not beneficial for me to boast: indeed I come to visions and apocalypses of Adonay.

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}

⁹ and the sons of Yisra El covertly work words that are not right against Yah Veh their Elohim: and they build bamahs in all their cities from the tower of the guards to the fortified city: ¹⁰ and they station monoliths and asherim in every high hill and under every green tree: ¹¹ and incense there in all the bamahs as the goyim whom Yah Veh exiled from their face; and work evil words to vex Yah Veh:

²⁰ For from eternal time I broke your yoke and tore your bonds; and you say, I serve not! when on every high hill and under every green tree you stroll, whoring.

²⁸ And where are the elohim you worked for yourself? Have them rise, if they can save you in the time of your evil: for the number of your cities are your elohim, O Yah Hudah.

⁸ And as one, they are brutish and foolish: the tree is a discipline of vanities.

¹⁵ they are vanity, the work of frauds: in the time of their visitation they destruct.

¹⁵ Though you, Yisra El, whore, and you, O Yah Hudah, neither guilt nor come to Gilgal; neither ascend to Beth Aven nor oath, Yah Veh lives.

⁸ Gilad is a city of doers of mischief and trips with blood:

¹¹ Because Ephrayim abounds sacrifice altars to sin, they are his sacrifice altars to sin.

¹⁵ All their evil is in Gilgal; surely, there I hated them: for the evil of their exploits I drive them from my house; I add not to love them: all their governors are revolters.

¹ Yisra El is an evacuated vine, he equates fruit to himself: as the abundance of his fruit he abounds the sacrifice altars; as the goodness of his land they make goodly monoliths:

⁴ Come to Beth El, and rebel; abound rebellion at Gilgal: and bring your sacrifices at morning, and your tithes after three years of days:

⁵ neither seek Beth El nor enter Gilgal nor pass through Beer Sheba: for in exiling, Gilgal is exiled, and Beth El becomes for mischief.

⁸ They who observe vain vanities forsake their own mercy;

⁴³ and now my son, hear my voice; and rise, flee to Laban my brother to Haran;

¹
YAAQOV AT BETH EL
And Yischaq calls Yaaqov and blesses him and misvahs him, and says to him, Take not a woman of the daughters of Kenaan. ² Rise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethu El the father of your mother; and from there take a woman of the daughters of Laban the brother of your mother: ³ and El Shadday blesses you to bear fruit and abound you and there become a congregation of people; ⁴ and give you the blessing of Abraham - to you and to your seed with you; to possess the land of your sojournings which Elohim gave to Abraham. ⁵ And Yischaq sends Yaaqov: and he goes to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethu El the Aramiy the brother of Ribqah the mother of Yaaqov and Esav. ⁶ And Esav sees that Yischaq blesses Yaaqov and sends him to Paddan Aram to take a woman from there; and as he blesses him, he misvahs him, saying, Take not a woman of the daughters of Kenaan; ⁷ and that Yaaqov hearkens to his father and his mother and goes to Paddan Aram; ⁸ and Esav, seeing that the daughters of Kenaan are evil in the eyes of Yischaq his father; ⁹ Esav goes to Yishma El and takes and adds Machalath the daughter of Yishma El the son of Abraham the sister of Nebayoth to the women he has, to be his woman.
THE DREAM OF YAAQOV
¹⁰ And Yaaqov goes out from Beer Sheba and goes toward Haran: ¹¹ and he encounters a certain place and stays there overnight, because the sun had set; and he takes stones of that place and sets them for his headpieces; and lays down in that place: ¹² and he dreams, and behold, a ladder stationed on the earth and the top thereof touches the heavens: and behold the angels of Elohim ascending and descending thereon: ¹³ and behold, Yah Veh stations himself above it and says, I - Yah Veh Elohim of Abraham your father and Elohim of Yischaq: I give the land whereon you lie to you and to your seed; ¹⁴ and your seed becomes as the dust of the earth and you break forth to the sea and to the east and to the north and to the south: and in you and in your seed all the families of the soil become blessed. ¹⁵ And behold, I am with you and guard you everywhere you go; and return you into this soil; for I leave you not until I work what I word to you. ¹⁶ And Yaaqov wakens from his sleep, and he says, Surely Yah Veh is in this place; and I know it not. ¹⁷ And he awes and says, How awesome this place! this is none other but Beth Elohim and this is the portal of the heavens. ¹⁸ And Yaaqov starts early in the morning and takes the stone he set for his headpieces and sets it for a monolith; and pours oil on the top thereof: ¹⁹ and he calls the name of that place Beth El: but the name of that city was Luz at first. ²⁰ And Yaaqov vows a vow, saying, Elohim is with me and guards me in this way I go and gives me bread to eat and clothing to enrobe, ²¹ so that I return to the house of my father in shalom; then Yah Veh becomes my Elohim: ²² and this stone, which I set for a monolith, becomes Beth Elohim: and of all you give me, in tithing, I tithe to you.

¹⁸ and Yaaqov loves Rachel, and says, I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter. ¹⁹ And Laban says, It is better that I give her to you, than give her to another man: settle with me. ²⁰ And Yaaqov serves seven years for Rachel; and in his eyes, they are but a day in his love to her: ²¹ and Yaaqov says to Laban, Give me my woman; for I fulfilled my days to go in to her. ²² And Laban gathers all the men of the place and works a banquet: ²³ and so be it, in the evening, he takes Leah his daughter and brings her to him; and he goes in to her. ²⁴ And Laban gives his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid as her maid. ²⁵ And so be it, in the morning, behold, it is Leah: and he says to Laban, What is this you worked to me? Served I not you for Rachel? Why deceived you me? ²⁶ And Laban says, It is not worked thus in our place, to give the younger at the face of the firstbirth: ²⁷ fulfill her week and we give you this also for the service you serve with me yet another seven years. ²⁸ And thus Yaaqov works and fulfills her week: and he also gives him Rachel his daughter to woman:

⁴¹ Thus - twenty years in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks: and you changed my hire ten times.

⁵ And you answer at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim, and say, My father was a destroyed Aramiy; and he descended to Misrayim and sojourned there with a few men and became a goyim - great, mighty and many:

⁵⁰ Thus work all the sons of Yisra El: as Yah Veh misvahed Mosheh and Aharon, thus they work. ⁵¹ And so be it, the selfsame day, Yah Veh brings the sons of Yisra El from the land of Misrayim by their hosts.

³ And Mosheh says to the people, Remember this day you come from Misrayim - from the house of servants; for by strength of hand, Yah Veh brought you out: eat no fermentation.

⁸ Yaaqov came into Misrayim and your fathers cried to Yah Veh; and Yah Veh sent Mosheh and Aharon, to bring your fathers from Misrayim and settle them in this place:

²⁰ you led your people as a flock by the hand of Mosheh and Aharon.

¹¹ and he remembered the days of antiquity - Mosheh - his people. Where is he who ascended them from the sea with the tender of his flock? Where is he who set his holy Spirit within him? ¹² Who carried them by the right of Mosheh with his arm of adornment - splitting the water at their face to work himself an eternal name? ¹³ Who carried them through the abyss as a horse in the wilderness that they not falter? ¹⁴ As an animal descends into the valley, the Spirit of Yah Veh rests him: thus you drive your people, to work yourself a name of adornment.

⁴ Yet I - Yah Veh your Elohim from the land of Misrayim and you know no elohim except me: for there is no saviour except me. ⁵ I - I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great droughts.

¹¹ and I raised of your sons for prophets and of your youths for Separatists. Is it not even thus, O you sons of Yisra El? - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹² And you have the Separatists drink wine; and misvah the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

²² For Mosheh indeed said to the fathers, Yah Veh your Elohim raises a prophet to you of your brothers, like to me; You, hear him in all - as much as he speaks to you. ^{Deuteronomy 18:15, 19 23} And so be it, every soul who hears not that prophet, is utterly destroyed from the people.

³⁵ This Mosheh whom they denied, saying, Who seated you an arch and judge? this same one Elohim apostolized arch and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the brier. ^{Exodus 3:2-6 36} This one led them out, after he made omens and signs in the land of Misrayim and in the Reed sea, and in the wilderness forty years: ³⁷ this is that Mosheh, who said to the sons of Yisra El, Yah Veh your Elohim raises a prophet to you of your brothers, like to me; You, hear him. ^{Deuteronomy 18:15, 18, 19}

³⁷ And you become a desolation, a proverb and a gibe, among all people Yah Veh drives you.

³⁰ So - an oracle of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El In saying, I say, that your house and the house of your father walk at my face eternally: and now - an oracle of Yah Veh far be it from me; for they who honor me, I honor; and they who despise me, I abase.

¹⁶ And David says to him, Your blood is on your head; for your mouth answers against you, saying, I deathified the anointed of Yah Veh.

³³ their blood returns on the head of Yah Ab and on the head of his seed eternally: but on David and on his seed and on his house and on his throne, there is shalom eternally from Yah Veh. ³⁴ So Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada ascends and encounters him and deathifies him: and he is entombed in his own house in the wilderness:

⁷ And so be it, the sons of Yisra El sin against Yah Veh their Elohim - who ascended them from the land of Misrayim from under the hand of Paroh sovereign of Misrayim - and they awe other elohim ⁸ which they work: and walk in the statutes of the goyim whom Yah Veh dispossessed from the face of the sons of Yisra El and from the sovereigns of Yisra El: ⁹ and the sons of Yisra El covertly work words that are not right against Yah Veh their Elohim: and they build bamahs in all their cities from the tower of the guards to the fortified city: ¹⁰ and they station monoliths and asherim in every high hill and under every green tree: ¹¹ and incense there in all the bamahs as the goyim whom Yah Veh exiled from their face; and work evil words to vex Yah Veh: ¹² and serve idols, whereof Yah Veh said to them, Work not this word! ¹³ And Yah Veh witnesses against Yisra El and against Yah Hudah, by the hand of all the prophets and by all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways and guard my misvoth and my statutes, according to all the torah I misvahed your fathers - which I send to you by the hand of my servants the prophets. ¹⁴ And they hearken not, and harden their necks, as the neck of their fathers, who trusted not in Yah Veh their Elohim: ¹⁵ and they refuse his statutes and his covenant which he cut with their fathers and his witnesses which he witnessed against them; and they go after vanity and become vain and go after the goyim all around them - to whom Yah Veh misvahed to not work like them: ¹⁶ and they leave all the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim; and work moltens - two calves and work an asherah and prostrate to all the host of the heavens and serve Baal: ¹⁷ and they pass their sons and their daughters through the fire; and divine divination and prognostications and sell themselves to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh - to vex him. ¹⁸ So Yah Veh angers mightily at Yisra El and turns them aside from his face: none survive except only, the scion of Yah Hudah:

¹³ gives forth on usury and takes bounty: Lives he? He lives not! In working all these abhorrences, in dying, he dies! His blood becomes on him.

² Son of humanity, two women are the daughters of one mother, ³ and they whore in Misrayim; they whore in their youth: there they pierce their breasts and there they work the nipples of their virginity: ⁴ and their names, Oholah and Oholi Bah her sister: and they are mine; and they birth sons and daughters.
