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

² so whenever you do your mercies, trump not ahead of you exactly as the hypocrites in the synagogues and in the streets, to be glorified by humanity. Amen! I word to you, they have their reward.

⁸ I word to you that he avenges them with quickness. However when the Son of humanity comes, finds he trust on the earth?

¹¹ The Pharisee stands and prays these with himself, Elohim, I eucharistize you, that I am not exactly as the rest of humanity - plunderers, unjust, adulterers, or even as this customs agent:

² He who walks integriously and does justness and words the truth in his heart.

¹ By David. Judge me, O Yah Veh; for I walk in my integrity: I confide in Yah Veh; I waver not.

¹¹ But as for me, I walk in my integrity; redeem me and grant me charism:

²⁶ all days he grants charism and lends; and his seed is for a blessing.

² His seed is mighty on earth; the generation of the straight is blessed;

²² The good have the sons of their sons to inherit; and the valuables of the sinner are treasured for the just.

² He who walks in his straightness awes Yah Veh; and the perverted in his ways despises him.

¹ Better, the impoverished walking in integrity, than the perverted in lips who is a fool.

¹⁵ He who walks in justness and words straightly; he who spurns the gain of oppressions; who shakes his palms from upholding bribes; who shuts his ears from hearing of blood and binds his eyes from seeing evil:

³⁹ and I give them one heart and one way, so that they awe me all days, for the good of them and of their sons after them:

⁶ and both are just in the sight of Elohim, and walk blameless in all the misvoth and judgments of Yah Veh:

³⁹ for the pre-evangelism is to you and to your children and to all who are afar - even as many as Yah Veh our Elohim calls. ^{Joel 2:32}

¹¹
THE SALVATIONAL CHARISM
For the salvational charism of Elohim appeared to all humanity, ¹² disciplining us to deny irreverence and cosmic pantings, to live soundmindedly, justly and reverently in this present eon;

⁴ rising as the light of the morning - as the morning sun without thick clouds; - as the sprouts from the earth by brilliancy after rain.

⁴ He judges the humble of the people; he saves the sons of the needy and crushes the oppressor.

⁹ For behold, your enemies, O Yah Veh, for behold, your enemies destruct; all the doers of mischief separate.

⁴ And the strength of the sovereign loves judgment; you establish straightnesses, you work judgment and justness in Yaaqov.

⁶ My eyes are on the trustworthy of the land to settle with me; he who walks in an integrious way ministers to me; ⁷ he who works deceit settles not within my house; he who words falsehoods is not established in my eyes. ⁸ Mornings I exterminate all the wicked of the land; to cut off all mischievous from the city of Yah Veh.

¹² It is an abhorrence for sovereigns to work wickedness; for the throne is established by justness.

²⁶ A wise sovereign winnows the wicked and turns the wheel over them.

⁵ Remove the wicked from the face of the sovereign and his throne is established in justness.

¹⁴ The sovereign who judges the poor in truth, establishes his throne eternally.

¹
THE REIGN OF JUSTNESS
Behold, a sovereign reigns in justness and governors govern in judgment:

⁴⁶ when they sin against you - for no human sins not - and you become angry with them and give them to face the enemy so that their captors capture them to the land of the enemy - far or near;

³⁶ If they sin against you, - there is no human who sins not and you anger over them; and give them over at the face of their enemies and they capture them to a land far off or near;

⁴ Who gives purity from foul? No one!

¹⁴ What is man - birthed of a woman that he be purified? that he be justified?

⁴ How then is man justified with El? How is he, birthed of a woman, purified?

⁵ Behold, I writhed in perversity; and in sin my mother conceived me.

²⁰ for there is not a just human on earth, who works good and sins not.

⁴ For I am aware of naught; yet I am not justified herein: but he who judges me is Adonay.

² for we all stumble much. If anyone stumbles not in word, this one is a completed/shalamed man, also able to bridle the whole body.

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

³⁵ Work no wickedness in judgment, in measurement, in weight, or in quantity.

²⁵ Burn the sculptiles of their elohim with fire: neither desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it to you, lest you be snared therein: for it is an abhorrence to Yah Veh your Elohim. ²⁶ Neither bring an abhorrence into your house, lest you be devoted as it: but in abominating, abominate it and in abhorring, abhor it; for it is devoted.

¹³ Have not in your pouch a stone and a stone - a great and a small; ¹⁴ have not in your house an ephah and an ephah - a great and a small: ¹⁵ but have a stone of shalom and justness, an ephah of shalom and justness: to prolong your days on the soil Yah Veh your Elohim gives 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.

²³ A stone and a stone are an abhorrence to Yah Veh; and balances of deceit are not good.

⁴ Hear this, O you who gulp the needy, who shabbathize the humble of the land, 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? ⁷ Yah Veh oaths by the pomp of Yaaqov, Surely I forget none of their works in perpetuity.

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?

⁸
THE SEVERED RELATIONSHIP OF ELOHIM FROM THE UNHOLY
And the cowardly and trustless and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and pharmaceutists and idolaters and all pseudos have their part in the lake burning with fire and sulphur - being the second death.

³ The wicked estrange from the womb; they stray from the belly, wording lies:

⁸ Perverse is the way of a man of guilt; and the deed of the pure is straight.

¹⁵ Folly is bound in the heart of a lad; and the scion of discipline removes it far from him.

¹⁶ you know them by their fruits. Gather they grapes of thorns? Or figs of briers?

¹⁵ for he becomes mega in the sight of Yah Veh, and no way drinks wine or intoxicants; and he is fills full/shalams with the Holy Spirit even from the womb of his mother:

⁶⁶ And all who hear them place them in their hearts, wording, What them becomes of this child! - and the hand of Yah Veh is with him.

⁴⁶ And so be it, after three days, they find him in the priestal precinct sitting midst the doctors - both hearing them and asking them: ⁴⁷ and all who hear him astound at his comprehension and answers.

⁴³
YAH SHUA ON TREES AND FRUIT
For neither a good tree produces putrefied fruit; nor a putrefied tree produces good fruit: ⁴⁴ for each tree is known by its own fruit. For men neither gather figs of thorns, nor dry grapes of a brier.

¹¹ And Yah Veh says to him, Who set the human mouth? Or who set the mute, or deaf, or the open-eyed, or the blind? Have not I -Yah Veh?

⁹ He who plants the ear, hears he not? He who forms the eye, scans he not?

¹⁸ expose my eyes to behold the marvels of your torah:

¹³ So I speak to them in parables: because in observing, they observe not; and hearing, they hear not; and they comprehend not. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled/shalamed the prophecy of Yesha Yah - which words, By hearing you hear, and no way comprehend; - and by observing you observe, and no way perceive: ¹⁵ for this people callous their heart and dull their ears from hearing and shut their eyes - lest ever they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and comprehend with their heart and turn around; and I heal them. ^{Isaiah 6:9,10 16} But blessed - your eyes; for they observe: and your ears; for they hear.

¹⁸ to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light; and the authority of Satan to Elohim, that they take forgiveness of sins: and their lot among them who are hallowed by their trust in me.

¹⁷ that the Elohim of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah the Father of glory, give you the spirit of wisdom and apocalypse in the knowledge of him: ¹⁸ the eyes of your mind being enlightened; to know the hope of his calling, and the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the holy,

⁹ Until when lie you down, O sloth? When rise you from your sleep?

¹¹ He who serves his soil is satisfied with bread; and he who pursues vanities lacks heart.

³⁰ I passed by the field of the man of sloth and by the vineyard of the human lacking heart; ³¹ and behold, it all ascends with thistles and nettles cover the face and the stone wall is broken down. ³² Then I see and set my heart well - I see and take discipline. ³³ A little sleep; a little drowsiness; a little clasping of the hands to lie down: ³⁴ and so be your poverty as one who travels; and your lack as a man with buckler.

⁶ and the great sailer approaches him, and says to him, What mean you, O sound sleeper? Rise, call on your Elohim, if so be that Elohim shine on us that we not destruct.

¹¹ not slothful in diligence; zealous in spirit; serving Adonay in season;

¹¹ And this: knowing the season, that it is already the hour to rise from sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we trusted.

³⁴ Sober up justly and sin not; for some are unknowing of Elohim: I word this to shame you.

¹⁴ So he words, Rise you who sleep, and rise from the dead; and the Messiah illuminates you. ^{Isaiah 60:1,2}

¹⁰ For even being with you, we evangelized this to you, that if any wills to not work, that he neither eat.

¹⁰ Is there any word whereof is said, See, this is new? It already became - eternally at our face.

⁷ Kenaan - the balances of deceit are in his hand; he loves to oppress: ⁸ and Ephrayim says, Surely I enrich: I find my strength in all my labors they find no one perversity in me - sin.

⁶ so that no one oversteps and defrauds his brother in any matter: because Adonay is the avenger concerning all such, exactly as we also foretold you and witness.ed

¹² And wisdom, where is it found? Where is the place of discernment? ¹³ Man neither knows the appraisal; nor finds it in the land of the living. ¹⁴ The abyss says, Not in me! And the sea says, Not with me! ¹⁵ Neither is gold given for it nor silver weighed for the price: ¹⁶ nor balanced with the ore of Ophir - with the esteemed onyx, or the sapphire. ¹⁷ Neither are the gold and the crystal ranked with it nor exchanged for instruments of pure gold: ¹⁸ nor corals or pearls remembered; for the sowing of wisdom is above pearls. ¹⁹ Neither is the topaz of Kush ranked with it; nor balanced with ore.

¹⁵ she is more esteemed than pearls and all your desires are not comparable to her:

¹¹ better, wisdom than pearls; and all those desires not comparable.

²⁰ The tongue of the just is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is of little worth. ²¹ The lips of the just befriend many; and fools die for lack of heart.

⁷ The lips of the wise winnow knowledge; and the heart of the foolish - not so.

²³ A man has cheerfulness by the answer of his mouth; and a word in time, how good!

¹⁶ To chattelize wisdom; how much better than ore! and to chattelize discernment to be chosen above silver!

²¹ The wise in heart is called, Discerning; and the sweetness of the lips increases doctrine.

²⁴ Pleasant sayings are as a honeycomb - sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

¹² as a nosering of gold and an ornament of ore, thus is a wise reprover to a hearkening ear.

⁹ And moreover, because the Congregationer was wiser, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he hearkened and probed and set in order abounding proverbs. ¹⁰ The Congregationer sought to find out words of delight; inscribed by the straight - words of truth. ¹¹ The words of the wise are as goads - as nails implanted by the masters of gatherings - given by one attendant.

¹⁴ So then, how call they on him in whom they trust not? And how trust they in him whom they heard not? And how hear they apart from a preacher? ¹⁵ And how preach they unless they are apostolized? Exactly as scribed, How beautiful their feet who evangelize shalom and evangelize good! ^{Isaiah 52:7, Nahum 1:15}

²⁹ Have no putrefied word proceed from your mouth; but if there be any good to the edifying of what is needed that it give charism to the hearers.

²⁶ If in pledging, you pledge the clothes of your friend, return it to him until the sun goes down: ²⁷ for that is his only covering; it is his clothes for his skin: Wherein lies he down? And so be it, when he cries to me, I hearken; for I am charismatic.

¹⁶ to rescue you from the strange woman - from the stranger who smoothes it over with her sayings;

³ for the lips of a stranger drip as a honeycomb and her palate is smoother than ointment:

⁵ to guard you from the strange woman - from the stranger who smoothes it over with her sayings.

¹⁰ and behold, a woman meets him with the masculine garment of a whore: with guarded heart

¹⁵ He who pledges for a stranger, shouts evil; and he who hates to clap is confident.

²⁶ Be not of them who clap palms, or of them who pledge for loans. ²⁷ If you have naught to shalam, why take your bed from under you?

²⁷ For a whore is a deep chasm; and a stranger is a narrow well.

¹³ Take his clothes, who pledges for a stranger, and pledge it for a stranger.

⁶ And the woman sees the tree is good for food and desirable to the eyes and a tree to desire to comprehend; and she takes of the fruit thereof and eats; and also gives to her man with her; and he eats. ⁷ And the eyes of the two open and they know they are naked; and they sew fig leaves together and work themselves girdles.

¹² Though evil sweetens in his mouth, though he conceals it under his tongue; ¹³ though he spares it and forsakes it not; and withholds it still within his palate; ¹⁴ yet his bread in his inwards turns - the venom of asps within him. ¹⁵ He swallows valuables and vomits them; El dispossess them from his belly; ¹⁶ he sucks the rosh of asps the tongue of the hisser slaughters him; ¹⁷ he sees not the rivulets, the floods, the wadies of honey and butter. ¹⁸ He restores that for which he labors but swallows not; as his valuables, thus the exchange - and he leaps not for joy. ¹⁹ He crushes - he forsakes the poor; he strips a house he built not; ²⁰ surely he knows no serenity in his belly; he rescues none of his desires:

¹⁷ for they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.

¹⁷ Stolen waters sweeten and covert bread pleases! ¹⁸ - and he knows not that ghosts are there; and that her called ones are in the depths of sheol.

⁹ Cheer, O youth, in your youth; that your heart better you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart and in the visage of your eyes; and know this: that for all these Elohim brings you into judgment.

¹⁵ he satiates me with bitternesses; he satiates me with wormwood: ¹⁶ and he crushes my teeth with gravel; he covers me with ashes.

²⁵ choosing rather to co-suffer with the people of Elohim, than the temporal enjoyment of sin;

YISRA EL CAPTURES KENAAN
And so be it, after the death of Yah Shua, the sons of Yisra El ask Yah Veh, saying, Who ascends for us against the Kenaaniy to begin to fight against them? ² And Yah Veh says, Yah Hudah ascend: behold, I give the land into his hand.

²⁹ O that Elohim give this people under my hand! then I turn Abi Melech aside. And he says to Abi Melech, Greaten your host and go.

⁷ Behold, you are all sons of Yisra El; give here your word and counsel.

¹⁸ And the sons of Yisra El rise and ascend to the house of Elohim and ask counsel of Elohim, and say, Who of us goes to war at the beginning against the sons of Ben Yamin? And Yah Veh says, Yah Hudah, at the beginning.

²³ And the sons of Yisra El ascend and weep at the face of Yah Veh until evening; and ask counsel of Yah Veh, saying, Add I to approach to war against the sons of Ben Yamin - my brother? And Yah Veh says, Ascend against him.

²⁶ And all the sons of Yisra El and all the people ascend and come to the house of Elohim and weep; and settle there at the face of Yah Veh; and fast that day until evening; and holocaust holocausts and shelamim at the face of Yah Veh. ²⁷ And the sons of Yisra El ask of Yah Veh - for the ark of the covenant of Elohim is there in those days; ²⁸ and Pinechas the son of El Azar the son of Aharon stands at the face of it in those days, saying, Go I yet again to war against the sons of Ben Yamin - my brother? Or cease? And Yah Veh says, Ascend; for tomorrow I give them into your hand.

²⁶ And Abi Ner calls to Yah Ab and says, The sword - devours it in perpetuity? Know you not that it embitters in the latter end? How long be it then, ere you say to the people to return from after their brothers? ²⁷ And Yah Ab says, Elohim lives: unless you had worded, surely then in the morning the people had ascended each man from after his brother.

THE SOVEREIGN OF YAH HUDAH CHALLENGES THE SOVEREIGN OF YISRA EL
And Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah counsels and sends to Yah Ash the son of Yah Achaz the son of Yah Hu sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Come! - see one another in face! ¹⁸ And Yah Ash sovereign of Yisra El sends to Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, The thorn in Lebanon sends to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son to woman: and a live being of the field in Lebanon passes by and tramples the thorn. 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? ²⁰ And Amaz Yah hearkens not; for it is of Elohim to give them into hand, because they seek after the elohim of Edom. ²¹ And Yah Ash the sovereign of Yisra El ascends; and they see one another in the face - he and Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah at Beth Shemesh - Yah Hudah. ²² - and Yah Hudah is smitten at the face of Yisra El and every man flees to his tent. ²³ And Yah Ash, the sovereign of Yisra El apprehends Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah the son of Yah Ash the son of Yah Achaz at Beth Shemesh; and brings him to Yeru Shalem: and breaks the wall of Yeru Shalem from the portal of Ephrayim to the portal at the face - four hundred cubits:

¹⁴ Without counsels, the people fall; and in the abundance of counsellors, there is salvation.

²² Without private counsel fabrications are broken; and in the abundance of counsellors, they rise.

⁶ For by counsels, you work war; and in abundance of counsellors, there is salvation.

⁸ Go not forth hastily to strive, What work you when your friend finally shames you?

³¹
TREATY OF SHALOM
Or what sovereign, going to encounter war against another sovereign, indeed sits not down first, and counsels whether he is able by ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

¹⁶ neither be a talebearer among your people: nor stand against the blood of your friend; I - Yah Veh.

¹³ A walking talebearer exposes private counsel; and he of a trustworthy spirit conceals the word.

³ He who guards his mouth guards his soul; he who spreads his lips has ruin.

²⁹ a man of violence entices his friend and walks him into the way - not good:

⁸ The words of a whisperer inflame - descending to the chambers of the belly.

²¹ My son, awe Yah Veh and the sovereign; meddle not with them who reiterate;

²⁰ Where the final timber is, the fire goes out; thus where no whisperer is, the strife subsides. ²¹ As coals to coals, and timber to fire; thus a contentious man to scorch strife. ²² The words of a whisperer inflame; and they descend into the chambers of the belly.

¹⁸ For they who are such serve not our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah, but their own belly; and through kind words and eulogy seduce the hearts of the simple.

¹² Honor your father and your mother: that your days be prolonged on the soil which Yah Veh your Elohim gives you.

¹⁷ And he who abases his father, or his mother, in deathifying, deathify him.

⁹ For a man - every man who abases his father or his mother in deathifying, deathify him: he abases his father or his mother; his blood is on him.

¹⁶ Cursed he who is abased by his father or his mother. - and all the people say, Amen.

⁵ Yes, the light of the wicked extinguishes and the flame of his fire illuminates not; ⁶ the light darkens in his tent and his lamp extinguishes with him;

¹⁸ he is exiled from light into darkness and chased from the world.

⁹ The light of the just cheers; and the lamp of the wicked extinguishes.

²⁰ for there is no finality to the evil; the lamp of the wicked extinguishes.

¹¹ There is a generation who abases their father and blesses not their mother:

¹⁷ The eye that derides father and disrespects to obey mother; the ravens of the wadi bore through and the sons of eagles eat.

⁴ For Elohim misvahed, wording, Honor your father and mother: and, Whoever vilifies father or mother, deathify him to death.

¹³ Then the sovereign says to the ministers, Bind him hand and foot and take him away and eject him into outer darkness; there becomes weeping and gnashing of teeth:

⁸ and the foolish say to the thoughtful, Give us of your olive oil, for our lamps are quenched.

¹⁰ for Mosheh said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoever vilifies father or mother, dies the death. ^{Exodus 20:12, 21:17, Leviticus 20:9 11} But you word, Whenever a human says to his father or mother, Qurban! which is, Oblation, by whatever you benefit; ¹² and you allow him no more to do aught for his father or his mother; ¹³ invalidating the word of Elohim through your tradition - which you betray: and you do many like such.

¹³ raging waves of the sea frothing their own shame, planetary stars - to whom is guarded the blackness of gloom to the eons.

¹⁶ though he heaps silver as the dust and prepares robes as the clay: ¹⁷ he prepares, and the just enrobe; and the innocent allot the silver:

⁴ nor labor to enrich; cease from your own discernment.

⁸ He who by interest and bounty abounds his wealth, gathers for him who grants charism to the poor.

²⁰ A trustworthy man abounds with blessings; and he who hastens to enrich, is not exonerated.

²² The man who hastens to have wealth has an evil eye and perceives not that lack comes on him.

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!

⁴ I bring it forth - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and it enters into the house of the thief and into his house who oaths falsely by my name: and it stays overnight midst his house and finishs it off with the timber and the stones. THE EPHAH

² If you hear not and if you set not to heart to give honor to my name, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, I send a curse on you and I curse your blessings: yes, I also curse, because you set it not to heart.

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.

³⁵ Mine is the avenging and retribution; their foot slips in time: for the day of their calamity is near and that impending on them, hastens.

¹² Perhaps Yah Veh sees my humiliation and Yah Veh returns me good for his abasing this day.

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

³⁴ Await Yah Veh and guard his way and he exalts you to possess the land; when the wicked are cut off, you see.

¹³ Whoever returns evil for good evil departs not from his house.

²⁹ Say not, I work to him as he worked to me; - return to the man according to his deeds.

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.

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 But I word to you, Resist not evil: but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, also turn the other to him:

¹⁷ give no one evil for evil; provide good in the sight of all humanity. ¹⁸ If possible, as much as is of you, complete/shalam with all humanity. ¹⁹ Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but give place to wrath: for it is scribed, Vengeance is mine; I recompense, words Yah Veh. ^{Deuteronomy 32:35}

¹⁵ See that no one gives anyone evil for evil; but ever pursue the good, both to one another and to everyone.

²³ who, being abused, replied unabusively; suffering, threatened not; and surrendered himself to him who judges justly:

⁹ not giving evil for evil or abuse for abuse - but contrariwise eulogize; knowing that you are called to this - to inherit a eulogy:

¹⁹ So whoever suffers according to the will of Elohim, commend your own souls in doing good, as to a trustworthy Creator.

¹⁰ A stone and a stone; an ephah and an ephah: yes, both are abhorrence to Yah Veh.

¹⁰ Balances of justness, an ephah of justness, a bath of justness:

⁷ Kenaan - the balances of deceit are in his hand; he loves to oppress:

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?

⁴ Have me know your ways, O Yah Veh; teach me your paths:

¹² What man is he who awes Yah Veh? He teaches him in the way he chooses.

²³ The paces of the mighty are established by Yah Veh; and he delights in his way:

⁸ The wisdom of the subtle is to discern his way; and the folly of fools is deceit.

⁹ The human heart fabricates his way; and Yah Veh establishes his pace.

⁶ I send him against a goyim of profaners and against the people of my wrath; I misvah him to take the spoil and to plunder the plunder; and to set them for trampling as the heap of the outways: ⁷ and he - he neither considers thus, nor fabricates his heart thus; but in his heart is to desolate and cut off goyim not a few.

²³ O Yah Veh, I know that the way of humanity is not within humanity: it is not within man who walks to establish his paces.

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.

²⁸ for in him we live and stir and be; as some also of your own poets say, For we are also his genos.

¹⁵ When a soul treasons a treason and sins an inadvertent error in the holies of Yah Veh; he brings for his guilt to Yah Veh an integrious ram of the flocks with your appraisal by shekels of silver after the shekel of the holies for the guilt.

¹⁰ No stranger eats of the holies: a settler of the priest or a hireling, eats not of the holies. ¹¹ But if the priest chattelizes any soul - a chattel of silver, he eats thereof and he who is birthed in his house eats of his bread. ¹² And when the daughter of a priest become to a man - a stranger, she eats not of an exaltment of the holies. ¹³ And when the daughter of a priest becomes a widow, or is expelled, and has no seed and returns to the house of her father, as in her youth, she eats of the bread of her father: but no stranger eats thereof. ¹⁴ And when a man eats of the holies - erring inadvertently, he adds the fifth and gives it to the priest with the holies: ¹⁵ and they profane not the holies of the sons of Yisra El which they lift unto Yah Veh;

⁹ And if an animal, whereof they oblate a qorban to Yah Veh, all of such that he gives to Yah Veh becomes holy: ¹⁰ he neither changes nor exchanges a good for an evil or an evil for a good: and if in exchanging, he exchanges animal for animal, then it and the exchange thereof become holy.

³⁰ And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, becomes to Yah Veh - holy to Yah Veh. ³¹ And if in redeeming, he redeems of his tithes, he adds the fifth.

² When a man vows a vow to Yah Veh, or oaths an oath to bind a bond on his soul, he profanes not his word; he works according to all proceeding from his mouth. ³ And when a woman vows a vow to Yah Veh, and in her youth binds a bond in the house of her father; ⁴ and her father hears the vow and the bond she binds on her soul, and her father hushes; then all her vows become raised: and every bond she binds on her soul becomes raised. ⁵ And if, in the day he hears, her father disallows her; none of her vows or of the bonds she binds on her soul become raised: and Yah Veh forgives her, because her father disallowed her. ⁶ And if she becomes to a man, and her vows are on her, or binds the utterance of her lips on her soul; ⁷ and her man hears, and in the day he hears, hushes; then her vows become raised and the bonds she binds on her soul become raised: ⁸ and if, on the day he hears, her man disallows her, then he breaks the vow she vowed and the utterance of her lips she bound on her soul; and Yah Veh forgives her. ⁹ And the vow of a widow or an expelled, all she binds on her soul becomes raised against her: ¹⁰ and if she vowed in the house of her man, or bound a bond on her soul with an oath; ¹¹ and her man hears, and hushes at her, and disallows her not; then all her vows become raised and every bond she bound on her soul becomes raised. ¹² And if in breaking, her man breaks them on the day he hears them; then whatever proceeded from her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond on her soul, becomes not raised: her man broke them and Yah Veh forgives her. ¹³ Every vow and every bonded oath to humble the soul, her man raises or her man breaks. ¹⁴ And if in hushing, her man hushes at her day by day; then he raises all her vows and all her bonds being on her: he raises them because he hushed at her in the day he heard them. ¹⁵ And if in breaking, he breaks them after he hears them; then he bears her perversity. ¹⁶ These are the statutes Yah Veh misvahed Mosheh between a man and his woman, between the father and his daughter, still in her youth in the house of her father.

⁷ The mouth of a fool is his ruin and his lips the snare of his soul.

⁴ When you vow a vow to Elohim, defer not to shalam; for he delights not in fools: shalam your vow. ⁵ Better not to vow, than to vow and not shalam. ⁶ Neither give your mouth that your flesh sin; nor say at the face of the angel, An inadvertent error! Why enrage Elohim at your voice and despoil the work of your hands?

⁸ A human, defrauds he Elohim? - yet you defraud me. And you say, Wherein defraud we you? In tithes and exaltments. ⁹ You are cursed with a curse: for you defraud me - this whole goyim. ¹⁰ Bring all your tithes into the treasure house, that there be prey in my house; and proof me, I beseech, herewith, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, if I not open the windows of the heavens to you and pour a blessing until you not have sufficient.

³³
OATHING
Again, you heard it rhetorized to the ancients, Oath not; but give back your oaths to Yah Veh. ^{Leviticus 19:12, Numbers 30:2, Deuteronomy 23:21}

⁹ And David answers Rechab and Baanah his brother the sons of Rimmon the Beerothiy and says to them, Yah Veh lives, who redeems my soul from all tribulation, ¹⁰ when one told me, saying, Behold, Shaul died, who in his own eyes became a bringer of evangelism, I held him and slaughtered him in Siqlag - instead of giving him for his evangelism: ¹¹ also, when wicked men slaughter a just man in his own house on his bed: so now, Seek I not his blood from your hand? - burn you away from the earth? ¹² And David misvahs his lads; and they slaughter them and chop off their hands and their feet and hang them over the pool in Hebron: and they take the head of Ish Bosheth and entomb it in the tomb of Abi Ner in Hebron.

³¹ and he brings the people therein and sets them under saws and under slicers of iron and under axes of iron and passes them through the brickkiln: and thus he works to all the cities of the sons of Ammon: and David and all the people return to Yeru Shalem.

⁵ whoever covertly tongue-lashes his friend, I exterminate: a lofty eye and an enlarged heart, I am not able.

⁸ A sovereign who settles in the throne of pleading winnows all evil with his eyes.

²⁷ for neither are the fennelflowers threshed with a sickle, nor a wagon wheel turned around on the cummin; for the fennelflowers are threshed with a rod and the cummin with a scion. ²⁸ Bread is pulverized; because in threshing, he neither threshes in perpetuity nor crushes with the wheel of his wagon nor pulverizes with his cavalry.

⁷ and Yah Veh Elohim forms Adam of the dust of the soil and puffs into his nostrils the breath of life; and Adam becomes a living soul.
THE GARDEN OF EDEN

⁸ Surely there is a spirit in man; and the breath of Shadday gives discernment.

³⁰ The lashes of a wound purify evil; thus strokes the inward parts of the belly.

¹⁵ which indicates the work of the torah scribed in their hearts; their conscience also co-witnessing and their logic accusing or else pleading between one another;

² but disown the secrets of shame; neither walking in cunningness nor handling the word of Elohim deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to the conscience of every human in the sight of Elohim. ³ And also, if our evangelism is veiled, it is veiled among the lost: ⁴ in whom the elohim of this eon blinds the comprehensions of the trustless, lest the light of the evangelism of the glory of the Messiah - being the icon of Elohim radiate to them. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves but Messiah Yah Shua Adonay; and ourselves your servants for sake of Yah Shua. ⁶ For Elohim, who said, Light, radiate from darkness! radiates in our hearts for the radiancy of the knowledge of the glory of Elohim in the face of Yah Shua Messiah.

¹² For the word of Elohim is living and energized and sharper than any double-mouthed sword, thoroughly penetrating to the parting of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow: and is a discerner of the deliberation and mind of the heart. ^{Isaiah 49:2 13} And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him with whom we word. ^{Proverbs 15:11}

¹⁹ And in this we know we are of the truth and confide our hearts in front of him. ²⁰ Because whenever our heart condemns us, Elohim is greater than our heart and knows all. ²¹ Beloved, whenever our heart condemns us not, then we have boldness toward Elohim.

⁷ For the sovereign confides in Yah Veh and through the mercy of Elyon he totters not:

⁷ He settles eternally at the face of Elohim; O number mercy and truth to guard him.

¹ \b A Psalm by David. \b I sing of mercy and judgment; to you, O Yah Veh, I psalm:

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity kapars/atones; and by the awe of Yah Veh evil turns aside.

⁵ And established in mercy is the throne: and he sits thereon in truth in the tent of David - judging and seeking judgment and hasting justness.

³² Rise at the face of the grayed and esteem the face of the aged and awe your Elohim: I - Yah Veh.

³¹ Greyness is a crown of beauty found in the way of justness.

²³ Thus says Yah Veh, O that the wise not halal in his wisdom - the mighty not halal in his might; the rich not halal in his riches: ²⁴ But he who halals, halal in this, that he comprehends and knows me; that I - Yah Veh work mercy, judgment, and justness in the earth for in these I delight - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁴ I scribe to you fathers: because you know him who is from beginning. I scribe to you youths: because you are mighty and the word of Elohim abides in you and you triumph over the evil one.

²⁵ Smite a scorner, and the gullible strategize; reprove the discerner, and he discerns knowledge.

⁹ So by this is the perversity of Yaaqov kapared/atoned; and this is all the fruit to turn aside his sin; in setting all the stones of the sacrifice altar as shattered lime; the asherah and sun icons rise not.

⁵ And he is pierced for our rebellions; crushed for our perversities: the chastisement of our shalom is on him; and with his lashes we are healed.

¹⁰ For they indeed, for a few days, discipline after their well-thinking; but he for our benefit that we partake of his holiness.
