TORAH

B'reshit Chapter 36
1 Now these are the generations of Esav, the same is Edom. 2 Esav took his wives of the daughters of Kena'an; Adah the daughter of Eilon the Khiti, and Oholivamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Tzivon the Khivi, 3 and Bas'mat Yishma'el's daughter, sister of Nevayot. 4 And Adah bore to Esav Elifaz; and Bas'mat bore Re'u'El; 5 and Oholivamah bore Y'ush, and Yalam, and Korakh. These are the sons of Esav, that were born unto him in the land of Kena'an. 6 And Esav took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Kena'an; and went into a land away from his brother Ya'akov. 7 For their substance was too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle. 8 And Esav dwelt in the mountain-land of Se'ir, Esav is Edom. 9 And these are the generations of Esav the father of a the Edomites in the mountain-land of Se'ir. 10 These are the names of Esav's sons: Elifaz Ben Adah the wife of Esav, Re'u'El Ben Bas'mat the wife of Esav. 11 And the sons of Elifaz were Teman, Omar, Zefo, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 And Timna was concubine to Elifaz Esav's son; and she bore to Elifaz Amalek. These are the sons of Adah Esav's wife. 13 And these are the sons of Re'u'El: Nahat, and Zerakh, Shamah, and Mizah. These were the sons of Bas'mat Esav's wife. 14 And these were the sons of Oholivamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Tzivun, Esav's wife; and she bore to Esav Y'ush, and Yalam, and Korakh. 15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esav: the sons of Elifaz the firstborn of Esav: the chief of Teman, the chief of Omar, the chief of Zefo, the chief of Kenaz, 16 the chief of Korakh, the chief of Gatam, the chief of Amalek. These are the chiefs that came of Elifaz in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Adah. 17 And these are the sons of Re'u'El Esav's son: the chief of Nahat, the chief of Zerakh, the chief of Shamah, the chief of Mizah. These are the chiefs that came of Re'u'El in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Bas'mat Esav's wife. 18 And these are the sons of Oholivamah Esav's wife: the chief of Y'ush, the chief of Yalam, the chief of Korakh. These are the chiefs that came of Oholivamah the daughter of Anah, Esav's wife. 19 These are the sons of Esav, and these are their chiefs; the same is Edom. 20 These are the sons of Se'ir the Khori, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan and Shoval and Zibeon and Anah, 21 and Dishon and Ezer and Dishan. These are the chiefs that came of the Khori, the children of Se'ir in the land of Edom. 22 And the children of Lotan were Khori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna. 23 And these are the children of Shoval: Alvan and Manahat and Eval, Shefo and Onam. 24 And these are the children of Tzivon: Ayah and Anah, this is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the donkeys of Tzivon his father. 25 And these are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholivamah the daughter of Anah. 26 And these are the children of Dishon: Hemdan and Eshban and Yitran and Kheran. 27 These are the children of Ezer: Bilhan and Za'avan and Akan. 28 These are the children of Dishan: Uz and Aran. 29 These are the chiefs that came of the Khori: the chief of Lotan, the chief of Shoval, the chief of Tzivon, the chief of Anah, 30 the chief of Dishon, the chief of Ezer, the chief of Dishan. These are the chiefs that came of the Khori, according to their chiefs in the land of Se'ir.
31 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any melekh [king] over B'nei Yisra'el. 32 And Bela Ben Be'or reigned in Edom; and the name of his city was Dinhavah. 33 And Bela died, and Yovav Ben Zerakh of Bozrah reigned in his stead. 34 And Yovav died, and Khusham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his stead. 35 And Khusham died, and Hadad Ben Bedad, who smote Midyan in the field of Mo'av, reigned in his stead; and the name of his city was Avit. 36 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. 37 And Samlah died, and Sha'ul of Rehovot by the River reigned in his stead. 38 And Sha'ul died, and Ba'al Khanan Ben Akhbor reigned in his stead. 39 And Ba'al Khanan Ben Akhbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead; and the name of the city was Pa'u; and his wife's name was Mehetavel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab. 40 And these are the names of the chiefs that came of Esav, according to their families, after their places, by their names: the chief of Timna, the chief of Alvah, the chief of Y'tet; 41 the chief of Oholivamah, the chief of Elah, the chief of Pinon; 42 the chief of Kenaz, the chief of Teman, the chief of Mibzar; 43 the chief of Magdiel, the chief of Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esav the father of the Edomites.

Ovad-Yah Chapter 1
1 The vision of Ovad-Yah. "Thus says Adonai יהוה concerning Edom, 'We have heard a message from יהוה , and an ambassador is sent among the nations. 'Arise, and let us rise up against her in battle.' 2 Behold, I make you small among the nations; you are greatly despised. 3 The pride of your heart has beguiled you, O you that dwell in the clefts of the rock, your habitation on high; that says in your heart, 'Who shall bring me down to the ground?' 4 Though you make your nest as high as the eagle, and though you set it among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says יהוה . If 5 thieves came to you, if robbers by night, how are you cut off! Would they not steal till they had enough? If grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? 6 How is Esav searched out! How are his hidden places sought out! 7 All the men of your confederacy have conducted you to the border; the men that had shalom with you have beguiled you, and prevailed against you; they that eat your bread lay a snare under you, in whom there is no discernment. 8 Shall I not in that day, says יהוה , destroy the wise men out of Edom, and discernment out of the mount of Esav? 9 And your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esav by slaughter. 10 For the violence done to your brother Ya'akov, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. 11 In the day that you did stand aloof, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Yerushalayim, even you were as one of them. 12 But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother in the day of his disaster, neither should you have rejoiced over B'nei Yehudah in the day of their destruction; neither should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress. 13 You should not have entered into the gate of My people in the day of their calamity; yes, you should not have gazed on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity. 14 Neither should you have stood in the crossroad, to cut off those of his that escape; neither should you have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress. 15 For Yom יהוה is near upon all the nations; as you have done, it shall be done unto you; your dealing shall return upon your own head. 16 For as you have drunk upon My Har Kodesh, so shall all the nations drink continually, yes, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been. 17 But in Har Tzion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be kadosh; and Beit Ya'akov shall possess their possessions. 18 And Beit Ya'akov shall be a fire, and Beit Yosef a flame, and the house of Esav for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esav; for יהוה has spoken. 19 And they of the South shall possess the mount of Esav, and they of the Lowland the P'lishtim; and they shall possess the field of Efrayim, and the field of Shomron; and Binyamin shall possess Gilad. 20 And the captivity of this host of B'nei Yisra'el, that are among the Kena'ani, even unto Tzarfat, and the captivity of Yerushalayim, that is in Sefarad, shall possess the cities of the South. 21 And saviors shall come up on Har Tzion to judge the mount of Esav; and HaMalkhut shall belong to יהוה ."

Yokhanan Chapter 1
19 This is the testimony of Yokhanan, when the Y’hudim sent to him Kohanim and Levi’im from Yerushalayim to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 And he confessed and did not deny it, but he declared, “I am not the Mashi'akh.” 21 Then they asked him again, “What then? Are you Eli-Yahu?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you a Navi?” And he said, “No.” 22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say concerning yourself?” 23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Straighten the highway of יהוה ,' as Yesha-Yahu HaNavi said.” 24 Those who were sent were from the P’rushim. 25 And they asked him, saying to him, “Why then do you immerse, if you are not the Mashi'akh, nor Eli-Yahu, nor a navi?” 26 Yokhanan answered, saying to them, “I immerse with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know; 27 this is the one who comes after me and is ahead of me, the one even the straps of whose sandals I am not good enough to loosen.” 28 These things happened in Beit Anya at the Yarden crossing, where Yokhanan was immersing.
29 The next day Yokhanan saw Yeshua coming to him, and he said, “Behold, Seh HaElohim, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one of whom I said, ‘the man who comes after me is yet ahead of me, because He was before me.' 31 And I did not know Him; but that He might be made known to Yisra’el, I came to immerse with water.” 32 And Yokhanan testified, saying, “I saw HaRu'akh descending from the heavens like a dove, and it rested upon Him. 33 And yet I did not know Him; but He who sent me to immerse with water said to me, ‘The one upon whom you see HaRu'akh descending and resting, He is the one who will immerse with The Ru'akh HaKodesh.' 34 And I saw and testified that this is Ben HaElohim.” 35 The next day Yokhanan was standing with two of His Talmidim; 36 and he looked at Yeshua while He walked, and said, “Behold, Seh HaElohim!”
37 And when he said it, two of His Talmidim heard it, and they went after Yeshua. 38 And Yeshua turned around and saw them following Him, and He said to them, “What do you want?” They said to Him, “Rabbi, where do you live?” 39 He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” And they came and saw where He stayed, and they remained with Him that day; and it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of them who heard Yokhanan and followed Yeshua was Andra'us, the brother of Shimon. 41 He saw his brother Shimon first, and said to him, “We have found the Mashi'akh.” 42 And he brought him to Yeshua. And Yeshua looked at him and said, “You are Shimon Ben Yonah; you will be called Kefa.”
43 The next day Yeshua wanted to leave for the Galil, and He found Filipos and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Filipos was from Beit Tza'ida, the city of Andra'us and Shimon. 45 Filipos found Netan'el, and said to him, “This is the one concerning whom Moshe wrote in the Torah and the Nevi’im, we have found Him! It is Yeshua Ben Yosef; He is from Natzrat.” 46 Netan'el said to him, “Can anything good come out of Natzrat?” Filipos said to him, “Come, and you will see.” 47 Yeshua saw Netan'el coming to Him and He said of him, “Behold, a true son of Yisra'el, in whom there is no guile!”
48 Netan'el said to him, “How do you know me?” Yeshua said to him, “Even before Filipos called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Netan'el answered, saying to Him, “Rabbi, you are Ben HaElohim, you are Melekh Yisra’el.” 50 Yeshua said to him, “Do you believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You shall see greater things than these.” 51 He said to him, “Amein, amein, I say to all of you, that from now on you will see Heaven opened and the Malakhim of Elohim ascending and descending to Ben HaAdam.”

Korinti’im Alef Chapter 5
1 It is reported that immorality is common among you, and such immorality as is not known among pagans, that even a son should take his father’s wife. 2 But instead of boasting as you have done, rather, had you sat down mourning, that he who has done this deed might have been removed from among you. 3 For while I am far away from you in body, yet I am near you in spirit; and I have already judged, as though I were present, him who has done this deed. 4 In the Name of Adoneinu Yeshua HaMashi'akh, gather together, and I will be with you in spirit and with the power of Adoneinu Yeshua HaMashi'akh, 5 so that you shall deliver this man to HaSatan for the destruction of his body, in order that his spirit may live in the day of Adoneinu Yeshua HaMashi'akh.
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven will leaven the whole lump? 7 Clean out, therefore, the old leaven, so that you may be a new lump, so that you can be matzot. For our Pesakh is Mashi'akh, who was sacrificed for our sake. 8 Therefore let us celebrate the Khag, not with old leavening, neither with the leavening of evil and bitterness, but with the leavening of purity and k’dushah.
9 I wrote to you in a letter not to associate with immoral persons. 10 I do not mean that you should separate completely from all the immoral people of this world, or from the fraudulent, and extortionists, or from idolaters; otherwise you would be obliged to leave this world. 11 Now what I have written to you is this: you are not to associate with any person who is known as a brother and yet is immoral, or fraudulent, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortionist; with such a person you must not even break bread. 12 For what business have I to judge those who are outside [the congregation]? But you may judge those who are within [the congregation]. 13 Elohim will judge the outsiders. Therefore, put away from among yourselves those wicked persons.
