11 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and to Aharon, saying unto them,
2 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on ha’aretz.
3 Whatsoever spliteth the hoof, and separateth into double hooves, and cheweth the cud, among the behemah (animals), that shall ye eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that separateth the hoof; as the gamal (camel), because he cheweth the cud, but separateth not the hoof; he is tamei unto you.
5 And the hyrax, because he cheweth the cud, but separateth not the hoof; he is tamei unto you.
6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but separateth not the hoof; he is temeiah (unclean) unto you.
7 And the chazir (swine), though he separate the hoof, and be separated into double hooves, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is tamei to you.
8 Of their basar shall ye not eat, and their nevelah shall ye not touch; they are temei’im (unclean ones) to you.
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the mayim; whatsoever hath fins and scales in the mayim, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the mayim, and of any nefesh hachayyah which is in the mayim, they shall be sheketz (abomination, detestable) unto you;
11 They shall be even sheketz unto you; ye shall not eat of their basar, but ye shall have their nevelah in sheketz.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the mayim, that shall be sheketz unto you.
13 And these are they which ye shall have in sheketz among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are sheketz: the nesher (eagle), and the vulture, and the whitetailed eagle,
14 And the da’ah (kite), and the black kite after its kind;
15 Every orev (raven) after its kind;
16 And the ostrich, and the screech owl, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 And the white owl, and the pelican, and the osprey,
19 And the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 All fowls that creep, going upon all fours, shall be sheketz unto you.
21 Yet these may ye eat of every winged insect that goeth upon all fours, which have jumping legs above their feet, to hop withal upon ha’aretz;
22 Even these of them ye may eat: the arbeh (locust) after its kind, and the katydid after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23 But all other winged insects, which have four feet, shall be sheketz unto you.
24 And for these ye shall be temei’im; whosoever toucheth the nevelah of them shall be tamei until erev.
25 And whosoever pick up any of the nevelah of them shall wash his clothes, and be tamei until erev.
26 Every beast which spliteth the hooves, and is not completely split, nor cheweth the cud, are temei’im unto you; every one that toucheth them shall be tamei.
27 And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all fours, those are temei’im unto you; whosoever toucheth their nevelah shall be tamei until erev.
28 And he that beareth the nevelah of them shall wash his clothes, and be tamei until erev; they are temei’im unto you.
29 These also shall be tamei unto you among the creeping things that creep upon ha’aretz: the weasel, and the rat, and the great lizard after its kind,
30 And the gecko, and the land crocodile, and the skink, and the lizard, and the chameleon.
31 These are temei’im to you among all that creep; whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be tamei until erev.
32 And whatsoever of them, when they are dead, doth fall on something, it shall be tamei; whether it be any vessel of wood, or cloth, or hide, or sackcloth, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any melachah (work) is done, it must be put into mayim, and it shall be tamei until erev; then it shall be tahor (clean).
33 And every clay vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be tamei; and ye shall break it.
34 Of all okhel which may be eaten, that on which such mayim cometh shall be tamei; and all mashkeh that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be tamei.
35 And everything whereupon any part of their nevelah falleth shall be tamei; whether it be oven, or stove, they shall be broken; for they are temei’im and shall be temei’im unto you.
36 Nevertheless a spring or cistern, wherein there is a mikveh mayim (collection of water) shall be tahor; but that which toucheth their nevelah shall be tamei.
37 And if any part of their nevelah fall upon any zera for sowing which is to be sown, it shall be tahor.
38 But if any mayim be put upon the zera, and any part of their nevelah fall thereon, it shall be tamei unto you.
39 And if any behemah, of which ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the nevelah thereof shall be tamei until erev.
40 And he that eateth of the nevelah of it shall wash his clothes, and be tamei until erev; he also that picketh up the nevelah of it shall wash his clothes, and be tamei until erev.
41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon ha’aretz shall be sheketz; it shall not be eaten.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath marbeh raglayim (many feet) among all creeping things that creep upon ha’aretz, them ye shall not eat; for they are sheketz.
43 Ye shall not make your nefashot sheketz with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves tamei with them, that ye should be made tamei thereby.
44 For I am Hashem Eloheichem; ye shall therefore set yourselves apart as kodesh, and ye shall be kadoshim; for I am kadosh; neither shall ye make your nefashot tamei with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon ha’aretz.
45 For I am Hashem that bringeth you up out of Eretz Mitzrayim, to be for you as Elohim: ye shall therefore be kadoshim, for I am kadosh.
46 This is the torah concerning the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the mayim, and of every creature that creepeth upon ha’aretz;
47 To make a divide [lehavdil; to make a distinction, separation] between the tamei and the tahor, and between the beast that may be and the beast that may not be eaten.
[TAZRIA-METZORA]
12 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, If an isha have conceived, and born a zachar, then she shall be temeiah shivat yamim; according to the yamim of the niddah (menstruation separation) for her infirmity shall she be temeiah (unclean).
3 And in the yom hashemini the basar of his arel (uncircumcision, foreskin) shall be circumcised.
4 And shloshim yom ushloshet she shall then remain in demei tohorah (blood of her purifying, i.e., period in which she would be unclean); she shall touch no kodesh, nor enter the Mikdash, until the yamei of her tohorah be fulfilled.
5 But if she bear a nekevah, then she shall be temeiah two weeks, as in her niddah (separation); and she shall remain in the blood of her tohorah sixty-six days.
6 And when the yemei tohorah are fulfilled, for a ben, or for a bat, she shall bring a keves of the first year for an olah, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a chattat (sin offering), unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed unto the kohen;
7 Who shall offer it before Hashem, and make kapporah for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her dahm. This is the torah for her that hath born a zachar or a nekevah.
8 And if she be not able to afford to bring a seh, then she shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for an olah, and the other for a chattat; and the kohen shall make kapporah for her, and she shall be teherah (clean) [See Lk 2:24 regarding this chapter and on how Moshiach was first brought to the Beis Hamikdash].
21 And when he had crossed over again in the sirah (boat) to the other side, a large multitude gathered together to him, and he was beside the lake.
22 And one of the Roshei Beit HaKnesset comes name of Yair and, having seen Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, he falls down at his feet,
23 and he begs him earnestly saying, Biti (my daughter) is at the point of mavet. Come and put your hand on her that she may receive refuah and may live.
24 And Moshiach went with Yair. And a large multitude were following him and they were pressing against Moshiach.
25 And [there was] an isha having a flow of dahm for twelve years. [VAYIKRA 15:25-30]
26 And having suffered much by many rofim (physicians) and having spent everything she had, instead of recovering, her condition deteriorated.
27 And having heard about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, she came up behind him in the multitude, and touched his garment.
28 For she was saying, If I may touch even the garment of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, I will receive refuah.
29 And ofen ort the flow of her dahm was dried up and she felt in (her) basar that she has been given refuah from the shrekliche (terrible) machla (illness).
30 And ofen ort Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having perceived within himself that gevurah (miraculous power) had gone forth from him, turned around in the crowd and said, Who touched my garments?
31 And the talmidim of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach were saying to him, You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, Who touched me?
32 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was looking around to see the one having done this.
33 Now the isha, BYIRAH (with fear) and BIRADAH (trembling), aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the emes (truth).
34 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to her, Bat (Daughter), your emunah has brought you refuah (healing). Go in shalom and receive refuah from your machla.
35 While Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was still speaking, some came from the Rosh Beit HaKnesset, saying, Your yaldah is a nifteret (deceased person); are you still causing a shter (bother) for the rabbi?
36 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having overheard what was being spoken, says to the Rosh Beit HaKnesset, Do not be afraid; only have emunah.
37 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach did not permit anyone to follow after him, except Kefa and Yaakov and Yochanan, the brother of Yaakov.
38 And they come into the bais of the Rosh Beit HaKnesset, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach beheld much commotion and weeping and loud wailing.
39 And having entered, he says to them, Why are you distressed and weeping? The yaldah is not a nifteret but is only sleeping.
40 And they began making leitzonus (mockery, fun) of him. But having put everyone out, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach takes the Abba of the naarah (girl) and the Em and the ones with him, and goes into where the naarah was.
41 And having grasped the hand of the naarah, Moshiach says to her, Talitha Koum, which, being translated, means Little girl, to you I say, arise!
42 And ofen ort the naarah got up and she was walking around. She was twelve years old. And ofen ort they were amazed with great wonder.
43 And he gave orders to them earnestly that no one should have daas of this. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to give her some okhel (food).
38 (Mizmor Dovid. For the memorial portion of the mincha) Hashem, rebuke me not in Thy wrath; neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.
2 (3) For Thine khitzim (arrows) pierce me, and Thy Yad presseth upon me.
3 (4) There is no health in my basar because of Thine anger; neither is there any shalom in my atzmot because of my chattat.
4 (5) For mine avonot (iniquities) are gone over mine head; as a weighty massa (burden) they are too heavy for me.
5 (6) My chaburot (wounds) are foul and festering because of my wicked folly.
6 (7) I am bent down; I am brought low ad me’od; I go about mourning all day long.
7 (8) For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no health in my basar.
8 (9) I am feeble and broken ad me’od; I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my lev.
9 (10) Adonoi, all my ta’avah (desire, longing) is before Thee; and my groaning is not hid from Thee.
10 (11) My lev panteth, my ko’ach faileth me; as for the ohr of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 (12) My loved ones and my re’a stand aloof from my nega [see Isa 53:8 on Moshiach’s nega]; and my neighbors stand afar off.
12 (13) They also that seek after my nefesh lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak of ruin, and plot mirmot (deceptions, deceits) all the day long.
13 (14) But I, like a cheresh (deaf man), heard not; and I was like a mute that openeth not his mouth.
14 (15) Thus I was like an ish that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no tokhachot (reproofs).
15 (16) For I wait for Thee, Hashem; Thou wilt hear, Adonoi Elohai.
16 (17) For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should gloat over me; when my regel slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17 (18) For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is before me tamid.
18 (19) For I will declare mine avon; I will be in anguish over my chattat.
19 (20) But mine oveyim are chayyim (vigorous), and they are strong; and they that hate me sheker (wrongfully) are multiplied.
20 (21) They also that repay ra’ah for tovah are mine adversaries; because I pursue the thing that is tov.
21 (22) Forsake me not, Hashem Elohai; be not far from me.
22 (23) Make haste to help me, Adonoi Teshuati (L-rd of my salvation).
8 The chacham lev will receive mitzvot, but one with foolish sfatayim (lips) shall be thrust down.
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh securely, but he that perverteth his drakhim shall be known.
