TORAH

VaYikra Chapter 25
1 And יהוה spoke unto Moshe in Har Sinai, saying, 2 "Speak unto B'nei Yisra'el, and say unto them, 'When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Shabbat unto יהוה . Six 3 years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the produce thereof. 4 But in the seventh year shall be a Shabbat Shabbaton for the land, a Shabbat unto יהוה ; you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard. 5 That which grows of itself of your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather; it shall be a year of Shabbaton for the land. 6 And the Shabbat-produce of the land shall be for food for you: for you, and for your servant and for your maid, and for your hired servant and for the settler by your side that sojourns with you; 7 and for your cattle, and for the beasts that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be for food'."
8 "'And you shall number seven sabbaths of years unto you, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto you the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty- nine years. 9 Then shall you make proclamation with the blast of the shofar on the tenth day of the seventh khodesh; in the day of atonement shall you make proclamation with the shofar throughout all your land. 10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a Yovel unto you; and you shall return every man unto his possession, and you shall return every man unto his family. 11 A Yovel shall that fiftieth year be unto you; you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of the undressed vines. 12 For it is a Yovel; it shall be kadosh unto you; you shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 13 In this year of Yovel you shall return every man unto his possession. 14 And if you sell aught unto your neighbor, or buy of your neighbor’s hand, you shall not wrong one another. 15 According to the number of years after the Yovel you shall buy of your neighbor, and according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto you. 16 According to the multitude of the years you shall increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years you shall diminish the price of it; for the number of crops does he sell unto you. 17 And you shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your Elohim; for I am יהוה your Elohim. 18 Therefore you shall do My Khukot, and keep My Mishpatim and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. 19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat until you have enough, and dwell therein in safety. 20 And if you shall say, 'What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our increase;' 21 then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth produce for the three years. 22 And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the produce, the old store; until the ninth year, until her produce comes in, you shall eat the old store. 23 And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and settlers with Me. 24 And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land'."
25 "'If your brother waxes poor, and sells some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother has sold. 26 And if a man has no one to redeem it, and he waxes rich and finds sufficient means to redeem it, 27 then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession. 28 But if he has not sufficient means to get it back for himself, then that which he has sold shall remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of Yovel; and in the Yovel it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession'."

Yirme-Yahu Chapter 16
19 "O יהוה , my strength and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, unto You shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, 'Our fathers have inherited nought but lies, vanity and things wherein there is no profit'. 20 Shall a man make unto himself gods, and they are not gods? 21 Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know My hand and My might; and they shall know that My Name is יהוה ."

Yirme-Yahu Chapter 17
1 "The sin of Yehudah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond; it is graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars. 2 Like the symbols of their sons are their altars, and their Asherim upon the evergreen trees, upon the high hills. 3 O you that sit upon the mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders. 4 And you, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you know not; for you have kindled a fire in My nostril, which shall burn forever. 5 Thus says יהוה , 'Cursed is the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from יהוה .' For 6 he shall be like a tamarisk in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land, and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusts in יהוה , and whose trust יהוה is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but its foliage shall be luxuriant; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is incurably sick; who can know it? 10 I יהוה search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As the partridge that broods over young which she has not brought forth, so is he that gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days he shall leave them, and at his end he shall be a fool. 12 You, Kiseh Kavod, on high from the beginning, You, place of our Mikdash, 13 You, O Mikveh of Yisra'el, יהוה ! All that forsake You shall be ashamed; they that depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken יהוה , the fountain of Mayim Khayim."
14 "Heal me, O יהוה , and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for You are my praise.

Yirme-Yahu (Jeremiah) 32:6-27
6 And Yirme-Yahu said, "the D'var יהוה came unto me, saying, 7 'Behold, Khanamel, Ben Shalum, your uncle, shall come unto you saying, 'Buy my field that is in Anatot; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it'. 8 So Khanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the D'var יהוה , and said unto me, 'Buy my field, I pray, that is in Anatot, which is in the land of Binyamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself'. Then I knew that this was the D'var יהוה . And 9 I bought the field that was in Anatot of Khanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. 10 And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. 11 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open; 12 and I delivered the deed of the purchase unto Barukh Ben Ner-Yah, Ben Makh'seh-Yah, in the presence of Khanamel my uncle[’s son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Yehudim that sat in the court of the guard. 13 And I charged Barukh before them, saying, 14 'Thus says יהוה Tzeva'ot, Elohei Yisra'el, 'Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days. 15 For thus says יהוה Tzeva'ot, Elohei Yisra'el: 'Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land'.' "
16 "Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Barukh Ben Ner-Yah, I prayed unto יהוה , saying, 17 'Ah Adonai יהוה ! Behold, You have made the heaven and the earth by Your great power, and by Your outstretched arm; there is nothing too difficult for You; 18 who does compassionately unto thousands, and recompenses the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty Elohim, יהוה Tzeva'ot is His Name; 19 great in counsel, and mighty in deed; whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings; 20 who did set signs and wonders in the land of Mitzrayim, even unto this day, and in Yisra'el and among other men; and made You a Name, as at this day; 21 and did bring forth Your people Yisra'el out of the land of Mitzrayim with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror; 22 and gave them this land, which You did swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; 23 and they came in and possessed it; but they hearkened not to Your voice, neither walked in Your Torah; they have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do; therefore You have caused all this evil to befall them; 24 behold the mounds, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Kasdim that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what You have spoken is come to pass; and, behold, You see it. 25 Yet You have said unto me, O Adonai יהוה , 'Buy the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Kasdim'.' 26 Then came the D'var יהוה unto Yirme-Yahu, saying, 27 'Behold, I am יהוה , the Elohim of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me?'

Luka Chapter 4
16 And He came to Natzrat, where he had been brought up; and He entered the Beit K'nesset on Yom HaShabbat, as was His custom, and stood up to read. 17 And the book of Yesha-Yahu HaNavi was given to Him. And Yeshua opened the book and found the place where it is written, 18 “The Ru'akh of יהוה is upon me; because of this He has anointed me to declare good news to the poor; and He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, and to proclaim release to the captives and sight to the blind; to strengthen with forgiveness those who are oppressed, 19 and to declare the year of the favor of יהוה .” And 20 He rolled up the scroll and gave it to the Shamash, and went and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the Beit K'nesset were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today, this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.”

Luka Chapter 14
1 And it came to pass when He entered the house of one of the leaders of the P'rushim to eat bread on a Shabbat, they watched Him. 2 And there was a man before Him who had dropsy. 3 And Yeshua answered, saying to the Sofrim and P'rushim, “Does Torah permit to heal on a Shabbat?” 4 But they kept silent. So He took him and healed him, and let him go. 5 And He said to them, “Which one of you, if his son or his ox should fall into a pit on Yom HaShabbat, would not immediately pull and bring him out?” 6 And they could not answer Him concerning this.
7 And He spoke a mashal to those who were invited there, because He saw them choosing places among the front seats. 8 “When you are invited of a man to a banquet house, do not go and sit in the front seat; it might be that a more honorable man than you is invited there; 9 and then he who has invited you and him will come and say to you, ‘Give the place to him,' and you will be embarrassed when you get up and take a lower seat. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit at the lower end, so that when he who has invited you comes, he will say to you, ‘My friend, go up and sit higher,' and you will have glory before all who sit with you. 11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” 12 He also said to him who had invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor your rich neighbors; lest they invite you, and you will be repaid for this. 13 But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind; 14 and you will be blessed; for they have nothing to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the tzadikim.”
15 When one of the guests heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in Malkhut HaElohim.” 16 Yeshua said to him, “A man gave a great supper, and invited many. 17 And he sent his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Behold, everything is made ready for you. Come!' 18 One and all, they began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I am forced to go and see it; I beg you to excuse me for being called away.' 19 Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am just going to examine them; I beg you, excuse me for being called away.' 20 Another said, ‘I have just taken a wife, and therefore I cannot come.' 21 And the servant came and told his master these things. Then the master of the house was angry, and said to his servant, 'Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, the afflicted, the maimed, and the blind'. 22 And the servant said, ‘My Adon, it has been done as you commanded, and yet there is more room.' 23 Then the master said to his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges, and urge them to come in so that my house may be filled, 24 for I say to you that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.'”
25 And while many people were going with Him, He turned and said to them, 26 “He who comes to me and does not hate his father, and his mother, and his brothers, and his sisters, and his wife, and his children, and even his own life, cannot be a talmid to me. 27 And he who does not take up his stake and follow me cannot be a talmid to me. 28 For which of you who wishes to build a tower does not at first sit down and consider its cost, to see if he has enough to finish it? 29 Lest after he has laid the foundation, he is not able to finish it, and all who see it will mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build, but he was not able to finish.' 31 Or which king who goes to war to fight against a king equal to him would not at first reason whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one who is coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while he is far away from him, sends envoys and seeks shalom. 33 So every man of you who would not leave all his possessions cannot be a talmid to me. 34 Salt is good; but if the salt loses its savor, with what can it be salted? 35 It is good neither for the ground, nor for fertilizing; but it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Luka Chapter 15
1 Then the tax collectors and sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. 2 And the Sofrim and P'rushim murmured, saying, “He receives even the sinners and eats with them.” 3 So Yeshua told them this mashal: 4 “What man among you has a hundred sheep, and if one of them should get lost, would he not leave the ninety-nine in the open, and go in search of the one which is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it he rejoices and takes it on his shoulders. 6 And he comes to his house, and invites his friends and neighbors, and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.' 7 I say to you that such will be the joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous who need no repentance. 8 Or what woman who has ten coins, and should lose one of them, would not light a lamp and sweep the house and search for it carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her women friends and neighbors, and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my coin which was lost.' 10 I say to you that such will be the joy before the Malakhim of Elohim over one sinner who repents.”
11 And Yeshua said to them again, “A man had two sons; 12 and his younger son said to him, ‘My father, give me the portion which is coming to me from your house.' And he divided to them his possessions. 13 And after a few days, his younger son gathered everything that was his share, and went to a far country, and there he wasted his wealth in extravagant living. 14 And when all he had was gone, there was a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and got acquainted with one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him to the field to feed the swine. 16 And he craved to fill his stomach with the husks that the swine were eating, and yet no man would give him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired workers are now in my father’s house who have plenty of bread, and I am here perishing with hunger? 18 I will rise and go to my father and say to him, ‘My father, I have sinned before Heaven and before you; 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; just make me like one of your hired workers.'' 20 And he rose up and came to his father. And while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion on him, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. 21 And his son said to him, ‘My father, I have sinned before Heaven and before you, and I am not worthy to be called your son.' 22 But his father said to his servants, ‘Bring the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; 23 and bring and kill the fattened ox, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead and has come to life; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to be merry. 25 But his elder son was in the field; and as he came near the house, he heard the voice of the singing of many. 26 And he called one of the boys, and asked him what it was all about. 27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fattened ox because he received him safe and well.' 28 And he became angry and would not go in; so his father came out and besought him. 29 But he said to his father, ‘Behold, how many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your mitzvah; and yet you never gave me even a kid that I might make merry with my friends. 30 But for this son of yours, after he had wasted your wealth with harlots and come back, you have killed the fattened ox.' 31 His father said to him, ‘My son, you are always with me, and everything which is mine is yours. 32 It was right for us to make merry and rejoice; for this your brother was dead and has come to life; and was lost, and is found.'”

Galatim Chapter 5
1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty with which Mashi'akh has made us free, and be not harnessed again under the yoke of servitude. 2 Behold, I, Pavlos, tell you that if you get circumcised, then Mashi'akh is of no benefit to you. 3 For I testify again to every man who gets circumcised, that he is under obligation to fulfill the whole Torah. 4 You have ceased to adhere to Mashi'akh, who seek justification by the Torah; you are fallen from grace. 5 For we through HaRu'akh wait for the hope of tzedaka by absolute trust. 6 For, in Mashi'akh Yeshua, neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision, but absolute trust, which is accomplished by love. 7 You were progressing well; who confused you that you should not obey the truth? 8 Your confidence, is it not from the one who called you? 9 A little khametz leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you through Adoneinu, that you will consider no other way, that he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is. 11 And I, my brethren, if I still declare circumcision, why should I be persecuted? Why? Has the stake ceased to be an offense? 12 I wish those who are troubling you would be expelled.
13 For, my brethren, you have been called to liberty; only do not use your liberty for an occasion to the things of the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Efisim Chapter 2
11 Therefore, remember that you were Goyim in the flesh from the beginning, and you were called Uncircumcision, differing from that which is called Circumcision, which is the work of the hands in the flesh. 12 At that time you were without Mashi'akh, being aliens to the customs of Yisra'el, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without Elohim in the world. 13 But now, through Yeshua HaMashi'akh, you who at one time were far off are brought near by the blood of Mashi'akh.
14 For He is our shalom, who has made both one, and has broken down the M'khitzah between them; 15 and he has abolished by His body the enmity, and the teaching of regulations in its commandments, that He may create, from the two, one new man in His image, thus making shalom; 16 and He reconciled both in one body with Elohim, and with His stake He destroyed the enmity; 17 and He came and declared shalom to you who are far away, and to those who are near. 18 Through Him we both are able to draw near, by one Ru'akh, to HaAv. 19 Thus from henceforth you are neither strangers nor foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the k'doshim, and children of Beit Elohim; 20 and you are built upon the foundation of the Shlikhim and the Nevi'im, Yeshua HaMashi'akh Himself being the cornerstone of the building: 21 and through Him the whole building is fashioned and grows into a Heikhal Kadosh, through the help of יהוה , you 22 also are built up by Him for a Mishkan of Elohim through HaRu'akh.
