Devariym (Deuteronomy) 31:1-30
Devariym (Deuteronomy) 31
- And Mosheh went and spake these words unto all Yashar’el.
- And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also Yahuah hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Yardan.
- Yahuah Elohayka, He will go over before thee, and He will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Yahusha, he shall go over before thee, as Yahuah hath said.
- And Yahuah shall do unto them as He did to Siychon and to Og, kings of the Emoriym, and unto the land of them, whom He destroyed.
- And Yahuah shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
- Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for Yahuah Elohayka, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
- And Mosheh called unto Yahusha, and said unto him in the sight of all Yashar’el, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which Yahuah hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
- And Yahuah, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
- And Mosheh wrote this Torah, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Leviy, which bare the Ark of the covenant of Yahuah, and unto all the elders of Yashar’el.
- And Mosheh commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the Feast of Sukkoth,
- When all Yashar’el is come to appear before Yahuah Elohayka in the place which He shall choose, thou shalt read this Torah before all Yashar’el in their hearing.
- Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yahuah Elohaykem, and observe to do all the words of this Torah:
- And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear Yahuah Elohaykem, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Yardan to possess it.
- And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Yahusha, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the assembly, that I may give him a charge. And Mosheh and Yahusha went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the assembly.
- And Yahuah appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
- And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the elohiym of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake Me, and break My covenant which I have made with them.
- Then My anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our Elohiym is not among us?
- And I will surely hide My face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other elohiym.
- Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Yashar’el: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Yashar’el.
- For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other elohiym, and serve them, and provoke Me, and break My covenant.
- And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
- Mosheh therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Yashar’el.
- And He gave Yahusha the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Yashar’el into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
- And it came to pass, when Mosheh had made an end of writing the words of this Torah in a book, until they were finished,
- That Mosheh commanded the Leviyiym, which bare the Ark of the covenant of Yahuah, saying,
- Take אֵ֖ת this book of the Torah, and put it in the side of the Ark of the covenant of Yahuah Elohaykem, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
- For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Yahuah; and how much more after my death?
- Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, אֵ֖ת and call heaven and earth to record against them.
- For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of Yahuah, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.
- And Mosheh spake in the ears of all the assembly of Yashar’el the words of this song, until they were ended.
Haftarah Vayelech (וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ) – “And Went”
Shofetiym (Judges) 2:1-23
- And an Angel of Yahuah came up from Gilgal to Bokiym, and said, I made you to go up out of Mitsrayim, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break My covenant with you.
- And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed My voice: why have ye done this?
- Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their elohiym shall be a snare unto you.
- And it came to pass, when the Angel of Yahuah spake these words unto all the children of Yashar’el, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
- And they called the name of that place Bokiym: and they sacrificed there unto Yahuah.
- And when Yahusha had let the people go, the children of Yashar’el went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
- And the people served Yahuah all the days of Yahusha, and all the days of the elders that outlived Yahusha, who had seen all the great works of Yahuah, that He did for Yashar’el.
- And Yahusha the son of Nun, the servant of Yahuah, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
- And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Cheres, in the Mount of Ephrayim, on the north side of the hill Ga’ash.
- And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not Yahuah, nor yet the works which He had done for Yashar’el.
- And the children of Yashar’el did evil in the sight of Yahuah, and served Ba’aliym:
- And they forsook Yahuah Elohai of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim, and followed other elohiym, of the elohiym of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked Yahuah to anger.
- And they forsook Yahuah, and served Ba’al and Ashtaroth.
- And the anger of Yahuah was hot against Yashar’el, and He delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and He sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
- Whithersoever they went out, the hand of Yahuah was against them for evil, as Yahuah had said, and as Yahuah had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
- Nevertheless Yahuah raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
- And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other elohiym, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of Yahuah; but they did not so.
- And when Yahuah raised them up judges, then Yahuah was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented Yahuah because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
- And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other elohiym to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
- And the anger of Yahuah was hot against Yashar’el; and He said, Because that this people hath transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto My voice;
- I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Yahusha left when he died:
- That through them I may prove Yashar’el, whether they will keep the way of Yahuah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
- Therefore Yahuah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered He them into the hand of Yahusha.
Brit Ha’dasha Vayelech (וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ) – “And Went”
2nd Timotheus (Timothy) 4:1-8
- I charge thee therefore before Elohiym, and the Adonai Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, Who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom;
- Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
- For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
- And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
- But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
- For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
- I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
- Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which Yahuah, the Righteous J udge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.
