32 Now the Bnei Reuven and the Bnei Gad had a very great multitude of mikneh; and when they saw Eretz Yazer, and Eretz Gil`ad, that, hinei, the makom was a makom for mikneh;
2 The Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven came and spoke unto Moshe, and to Eleazar HaKohen, and unto the nasiim of the Edah, saying,
3 Atarot, and Divon, and Yazer, and Nimrah, and Chesbon, and Elealeh, and Sevam, and Nevo, and Beon,
4 Even HaAretz which Hashem struck to conquer before the Adat Yisroel, is an eretz for mikneh, and thy avadim have mikneh.
5 They said, If we have found chen in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy avadim for an achuzzah, and bring us not over Yarden.
6 And Moshe said unto the Bnei Gad and to the Bnei Reuven, Shall your achim go to milchamah while ye sit here?
7 And why discourage ye the lev Bnei Yisroel from going over into HaAretz which Hashem hath given them?
8 Thus did Avoteichem, when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over HaAretz.
9 For when they went up unto the Eshcol Valley, and saw HaAretz, they discouraged the lev Bnei Yisroel, that they should not go into HaAretz which Hashem had given them.
10 And the Af Hashem was kindled on that day, and He swore, saying,
11 Surely none of the anashim that came up out of Mitzrayim, from twenty years old and upward, shall see HaAdamah which I swore unto Avraham, unto Yitzchak, and unto Ya’akov; because they have not fully followed Me;
12 Except Kalev Ben Yephunneh the Kenezi, and Yehoshua Ben Nun; for they have fully followed after Hashem.
13 And the Af Hashem was kindled against Yisroel, and He made them wander in the midbar arba’im shanah, until kol hador that had done harah in the sight of Hashem, were consumed.
14 And, hinei, ye are risen up in the place of Avoteichem a brood of anashim chatta’im to add even more to charon af Hashem against Yisroel.
15 For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the midbar; and ye shall destroy kol HaAm Hazeh.
16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build gidrot tzon here for our mikneh, and towns for our little ones;
17 But we ourselves will go ready armed ahead of the Bnei Yisroel, until we have brought them unto their makom; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of HaAretz.
18 We will not return unto bateinu, until the Bnei Yisroel have inherited every ish his nachalah.
19 For we will not inherit with them across the Yarden, or beyond; because our nachalah is fallen to us on this side of the Yarden eastward.
20 And Moshe said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before Hashem to milchamah,
21 And will go all of you armed over Yarden before Hashem, until He hath driven out His oyevim from before Him,
22 And HaAretz be subdued before Hashem; then afterward ye shall return, and be nekiyim before Hashem, and before Yisroel; and HaAretz Hazot shall be your achuzzah before Hashem.
23 But if ye will not do so, hinei, ye have sinned against Hashem and be sure chattatechem (your sin) will find you out.
24 Build you towns for your little ones, and your gidrot tzon; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25 And the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven spoke unto Moshe saying, Thy avadim will do as adoni commandeth.
26 Our little ones, our nashim, our mikneh, and all behemeteinu, shall stay there in the cities of Gil‘ad;
27 But thy avadim will cross over, every man armed for war, before Hashem to battle, as adoni saith.
28 So concerning them Moshe commanded Eleazar HaKohen, and Yehoshua Ben Nun, and the Rashei Avot HaMattot of the Bnei Yisroel;
29 And Moshe said unto them, If the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven will cross with you over Yarden, every man armed for battle, before Hashem, and HaAretz shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them Eretz Gil‘ad for an achuzzah;
30 But if they will not cross over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in Eretz Kena’an.
31 And the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven answered, saying, As Hashem hath said unto thy avadim, so will we do.
32 We will cross over armed before Hashem into Eretz Kena’an, that the achuzzat nachalatenu on that side of the Yarden may be our own.
33 And Moshe gave unto them, even to the Bnei Gad, and to the Bnei Reuven, and unto half the shevet of Menasheh Ben Yosef, the kingdom of Sichon Melech HaEmori, and the kingdom of Og Melech HaBashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the territories, even the cities of the surrounding land.
34 And the Bnei Gad built Divon, and Atarot, and Aroer,
35 And Atrot, Shophan, Ya’azer, and Yogbehah,
36 And Beit Nimrah and Beit Haran, fortified cities; and gidrot tzon.
37 And the Bnei Reuven built Cheshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiryatayim,
38 And Nevo, and Ba’al Me’on, (their shem being changed) and Sivmah; and gave other shmot unto the cities which they built.
39 And the Bnei Machir Ben Menasheh went to Gil‘ad, and captured it, and dispossessed the Emori (Amorite) which was in it.
40 And Moshe gave Gil‘ad unto Machir Ben Menasheh; and he dwelt therein.
41 And Ya’ir Ben Menasheh went and captured the settlements thereof, and called them Chavot Ya’ir.
42 And Novach went and captured Kenat, and the villages thereof, and called it Novach, after shmo.
[MASSEY]
33 These are the journeys of the Bnei Yisroel, which went forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim by their tzveos under yad Moshe and Aharon.
2 And Moshe recorded their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of Hashem; and these are their journeys according to their goings forth.
3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Pesach the Bnei Yisroel went out with a yad ramah (upraised hand, i.e., confidently) l’einei kol Mitzrayim.
4 For the Mitzrayim buried all their bechor, which Hashem had struck down among them; upon their elohim also Hashem executed shefatim.
5 And the Bnei Yisroel set out from Rameses, and encamped in Sukkot.
6 And they set out from Sukkot, and encamped in Etam, which is on the edge of the midbar.
7 And they set out from Etam, and turned back unto Pi HaChirot, which is before Ba’al Tzephon; and they encamped before Migdol.
8 And they set out from before HaChirot, and passed through the midst of the yam into the midbar, and went derech shloshet yamim (a three days’ journey) in the midbar of Etam, and encamped in Marah.
9 And they set out from Marah, and came unto Elim; and in Elim were twelve einot mayim (springs of water), and threescore and ten temarim (palm trees); and they encamped there.
10 And they set out from Elim, and encamped by the Yam Suf.
11 And they set out from the Yam Suf, encamping in the Midbar Sin.
12 And they set out from the Midbar Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
13 And they set out from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
14 And they set out from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no mayim for HaAm to drink.
15 And they set out from Rephidim, and encamped in the Midbar Sinai.
16 And they set out from the Midbar Sinai, and encamped at Kivrot Hata’avah.
17 And they set out from Kivrot Hata’avah, and encamped at Chatzerot.
18 And they set out from Chatzerot, and encamped in Ritmah.
19 And they set out from Ritmah, and encamped at Rimmon Peretz.
20 And they set out from Rimmon Peretz, and encamped in Livnah.
21 And they set out from Livnah, and encamped at Rissah.
22 And they set out from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelatah.
23 And they set out from Kehelatah, and encamped in Har Shepher.
24 And they set out from Har Shepher, and encamped in Charadah.
25 And they set out from Charadah, and encamped in Mak’helot.
26 And they set out from Mak’helot, and encamped at Tachat.
27 And they set out from Tachat, and encamped at Tarach.
28 And they set out from Tarach, and encamped in Mitcah.
29 And they set out from Mitcah, and encamped in Chashmonah.
30 And they set out from Chashmonah, and encamped at Moserot.
31 And they set out from Moserot, and encamped in Bnei Ya’akan.
32 And they set out from Bnei Ya’akan, and encamped at Chor Haggidgad.
33 And they set out from Chor Haggidgad, and encamped in Yotvatah.
34 And they set out from Yotvatah, and encamped at Avronah.
35 And they set out from Avronah, and encamped at Etzyon Gever.
36 And they set out from Etzyon-Gever, and encamped in the Midbar Tzin, which is Kadesh.
37 And they set out from Kadesh and encamped at Mt Hor, at the border of Eretz Edom.
38 And Aharon HaKohen went up into Mt Hor at the command of Hashem, and died there, in the 40th year after the Bnei Yisroel were come out of Eretz Mitzrayim, in the first yom of the fifth month.
39 And Aharon was a hundred and twenty and three years old when he died on Mt Hor.
31 And Moshiach went down to Kfar-Nachum, a shtetl of the Galil. And he was saying them shiurim on the Shabbatot.
32 And they were amazed at his torah, because Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach’s dvar torah was with samchut (authority).
33 And in the shul there was a man having a ruach hatameh (unclean spirit, shed, demon) and it let out a shrai (scream).
34 Ah, mah lanu vlach, Yehoshua of Natzeret? Did you come to destroy us? I have daas of who you are, HaKadosh of Hashem.
35 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked him saying, Sha! Shekit! And come out of him! And right in front of them, when the shed threw him down, the ruach hatameh came out of him and did not do him any harm.
36 And astonishment came upon everyone. And they were talking to one another saying, What is this dvar Torah, for with samchut (authority) and koach (power) he commands the ruchot hatemeiot (unclean spirits) and they come out!
37 And a report was going out about him into every place of the surrounding region.
38 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach got up from the shul and entered into the bais of Shimon. And the chamot (mother-in-law, shviger) of Shimon was fever-stricken, and they asked him about her.
39 And having stood over her, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the kaddachat (fever, DEVARIM 28:22) and it left her. And at once, having got up, she was functioning as their mesharetet (servant, keli kodesh, lady minister).
40 And while the shemesh (sun) was setting, all who had cholim (sick people), all with various machlot (illnesses) brought them to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach. And he, laying his hands upon each one of them, was giving refuah (healing) to them [Ps 107:20].
41 And also shedim were coming out from many, shrieking a shrai and crying out, You are HaBen HaElohim! And rebuking them, he was not allowing them to speak, because they had daas of his identity as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach.
42 And in the boker, having gone forth, he went out to a desolate place. And the multitudes were seeking him, and when they got to him, they wanted to prevent his departure from them.
43 But he said to them, It is necessary for me to preach the Malchut Hashem in the other shtetlach, because this is the tachlis for which I was sent.
44 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was preaching in the shuls of the Galil.
5 Now it came about that while the multitude was listening to the dvar Hashem and pressing in upon Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, he had been standing beside Lake Kinneret,
2 And he saw two sirot (boats) having been beside the lake. But the daiyagim (fishermen) had left them and were cleaning the nets.
3 And embarking into one of the sirot which was Shimon’s, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach asked Shimon to put out from the land a little; and having sat down, from the sirah (boat) to the multitudes Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was saying shiurim.
4 And when he stopped speaking, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to Shimon, Put out into the deep (water) and let down your nets for a catch.
5 And in reply, Shimon said, Adoni, throughout the whole lailah we have labored and caught nothing. But on account of your dvar I will let down the nets.
6 And having done this, they enclosed asach (a lot of) dagim, and their nets were being torn.
7 And they signaled for their shuttafim (partners) in the other sirah to come and help them. And they came and they filled both sirot (boats) so much that they began to sink.
8 And having seen this, Shimon Kefa fell down before Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Depart from me, Adoni, for an ish choteh (sinful man) am I. [BERESHIS 18:27; IYOV 42:6; YESHAYAH 6:5]
9 For astonishment seized Shimon Kefa and all the ones with him on account of the catch of dagim which they took;
10 And likewise also Yaakov and Yochanan the banim of Zavdai, who were business shuttafim (partners) with Shimon. And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to Shimon, Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch bnei Adam.
11 And having left behind the sirot on the shore, they forsook all, and followed him [as talmidim].
64 (For the one directing. Mizmor of Dovid). Hear my voice, O Elohim, in my si’akh (complaint); preserve my life from the pachad (terror) of the oyev (enemy).
2 (3) Hide me from the sod (secret counsel, conspiracy) of the re’im; from the rigshah (insurrection, noisy crowd, assembly) of the workers of iniquity;
3 (4) Who whet their tongue like a cherev, and aim their khitzim (arrows), even davar mar (bitter words);
4 (5) That they may shoot in secret at the tam (innoent); pitom (suddenly) do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 (6) They encourage themselves in a davar rah (an evil plan); they speak in order to set mokshim (snares, hidden traps); they say, Who shall see them?
6 (7) Or search out their iniquities? They have accomplished a cunningly devised plot; for the mind of ish (man) and the lev (heart) are deep,
7 (8) But Elohim shall shoot at them with a khetz (arrow); pitom (suddenly) shall their wounds be.
8 (9) So the leshon of them will bring ruin upon them; all that see them shall shake their head.
9 (10) And kol adam shall fear, and shall declare the po’al Elohim (work of G-d); for they shall ponder His ma’aseh.
10 (11) The tzaddik shall be glad in Hashem, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the yishrei lev (upright of heart) shall glory.
22 As a ring of zahav in the snout of a chazir, so is an isha yafah which is without ta’am (judgment, discretion).
