¹ And Jehovah spoke to^▵ Moses and to^▵ Aaron, saying to^▵ them,

² Speak to^▵ the sons of Israel, saying, These are the animals which you shall eat out·​·of all the beasts that are on the earth.

³ All dividing^◦ the hoof, and the cloven hoofs being·​·cloven, and brings·​·up the cud, among^◦ the beast, it you shall eat.

⁴ Surely this you shall not eat, from that which brings·​·up the cud, and from that which divides^◦ the hoof: as the camel, for it^◦ brings·​·up the cud, but divides^◦ not^◦ the hoof; it^◦ is unclean for you.

⁵ And the rabbit, for it^◦ brings·​·up the cud, but divides^◦ not the hoof; it^◦ is unclean for you.

⁶ And the hare, for it^◦ brings·​·up the cud, but divides^◦ not the hoof; it^◦ is unclean for you.

⁷ And the swine, though^◦ it^◦ divide^◦ the hoof, and the cloven hoof be·​·cloven, yet it^◦ chews not the cud; it^◦ is unclean for you.

⁸ Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcass you shall not touch; they^◦ are unclean to you.

⁹ These you shall eat of all that are in the waters; all that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them you shall eat.

¹⁰ And all that have not^◦ fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of all crawling things in the waters, and of any living soul which is in the waters, they^◦ are detestable to you;

¹¹ and they shall be detestable to you; of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall detest.

¹² All that has no fins nor scales in the waters, that^◦ shall be detestable to you.

¹³ And these you shall detest of the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they^◦ are detestable; the eagle, and the peres, and the ozniyah^*,

¹⁴ and the kite, and the ayah according·​·to its kind;

¹⁵ every raven according·​·to its kind;

¹⁶ and the daughter of the owl, and the night·​·hawk, and the woodpecker, and the hawk according·​·to^▵ his kind,

¹⁷ and the little·​·owl, and the cormorant, and the screech·​·owl,

¹⁸ and the swan, and the spoonbill, and the gier·​·eagle,

¹⁹ and the stork, the heron according·​·to^▵ her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

²⁰ Every crawling flying thing, walking on four, it^◦ shall be detestable to you.

²¹ Only^▵ these may you eat from every flying crawling thing that goes^◦ upon four, which have^◦ legs above their feet, to hop with them upon the earth;

²² even these of them^◦ you may eat; the locust according·​·to^▵ his kind, and the rock·​·locust according·​·to^▵ his kind, and the hargol^* according·​·to^▵ his kind, and the grasshopper according·​·to^▵ his kind.

²³ But every other^* flying crawling thing, which has^◦ four feet, it^◦ is detestable to you.

²⁴ And for these you shall be·​·unclean; anything^◦ that touches the carcass of them shall be·​·unclean until the evening.

²⁵ And whoever carries anything of the carcass of them shall wash his garments, and be·​·unclean until the evening.

²⁶ The carcasses of every beast that divides^◦ the hoof, but it^◦ is not^◦ cloven to be·​·cloven, and it brings· not^◦ ·up the cud, they^◦ are unclean for you; all who touch them shall be·​·unclean.

²⁷ And whatever goes^◦ upon his paws^*, among^◦ all animals that go^◦ on all four, those^◦ are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcass shall·​·be·​·unclean until the evening.

²⁸ And he that bears the carcass of them shall wash his garments, and be·​·unclean until the evening; they^◦ are unclean to you.

²⁹ And these shall be unclean to you among^◦ the crawling things that crawls on the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise according·​·to^▵ its kind,

³⁰ and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

³¹ These are unclean to you among^◦ all the crawling things; whoever touches them, in their death, he shall be·​·unclean until the evening.

³² And all on which any of them^◦ shall fall in their death, it shall be·​·unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it be, in which^◦ any use^* is done, it must be brought into water, and it shall be·​·unclean until the evening; and it shall be·​·clean.

³³ And every pottery^◦ vessel, into^▵ the midst of which falls of them^◦, all that is in its midst shall be·​·unclean; and you shall break it.

³⁴ Of all food which may be eaten, that on which such water comes shall·​·be·​·unclean; and all drink^◦ that may be drunk in every such vessel shall·​·be·​·unclean.

³⁵ And every thing upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be·​·unclean; even an oven or^◦ a furnace shall be torn·​·down; they^◦ are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.

³⁶ Surely a fountain and pit, a reservoir of waters, shall be clean; but that which touches their carcass shall be·​·unclean.

³⁷ And if^▫ any part of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it^◦ shall be clean.

³⁸ But if^▫ any water be put^◦ upon the seed, and any part of their carcass fall upon it, it^◦ shall be unclean to you.

³⁹ And if^▫ a beast, which is for you for food, die, he^◦ who touches its carcass shall be·​·unclean until the evening.

⁴⁰ And he that eats of the carcass of it shall wash his garments, and be·​·unclean until the evening; and he that bears the carcass of it shall wash his garments, and be·​·unclean until the evening.

⁴¹ And any crawling thing that crawls upon the earth shall be detestable; it^◦ shall not be eaten.

⁴² Anything^◦ that goes^◦ on the belly^◦, and anything^◦ that goes^◦ on four, even·​·to anything^◦ that has·​·many feet, as·​·to any crawling thing crawling upon the earth, them you shall not eat; for they^◦ are detestable.

⁴³ Make not your soul to be·​·detestable with any crawling thing that crawls; and you shall not defile yourselves with them and be defiled by them.

⁴⁴ For I^◦ am Jehovah your God; and you shall sanctify yourselves and you shall be holy; for I^◦ am holy: neither shall you defile your soul with any crawling thing that creeps on the earth.

⁴⁵ For I^◦ am Jehovah who brings· you ·up from the land of Egypt, to be for you for God; and you shall be holy, for I^◦ am holy.

⁴⁶ This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living soul that creeps in the waters, and of every soul that crawls upon the earth;

⁴⁷ to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.

¹ Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

² But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?"

³ Jesus, answering them, said, "Haven't you read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

⁴ how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?"

⁵ He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."

⁶ It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁷ The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Rise up, and stand in the middle." He arose and stood.

⁹ Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?"

¹⁰ He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

¹² It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁵ Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot;

¹⁶ Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

¹⁷ He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁸ as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

¹⁹ All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

²⁰ He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.

²¹ Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

²² Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.

²³ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

²⁴ "But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

²⁵ Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

²⁶ Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

²⁷ "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

²⁹ To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don't withhold your coat also.

³⁰ Give to everyone who asks you, and don't ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

³¹ "As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.

³² If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

³³ If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

³⁴ If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

³⁶ Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.

³⁷ Don't judge, and you won't be judged. Don't condemn, and you won't be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

³⁸ "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."

³⁹ He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the blind? Won't they both fall into a pit?

⁴⁰ A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

⁴¹ Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?

⁴² Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself don't see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye.

⁴³ For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don't gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

⁴⁶ "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things which I say?

⁴⁷ Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

⁴⁹ But he who hears, and doesn't do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
