1 , who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the
fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed
heir of all things, by whom also HE made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of HIS glory, and the express image of HIS person,
and upholding all things by the word of HIS power, when HE had by HIMSELF purged
our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as HE hath by inheritance obtained
a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art MY Son, this day
have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a FATHER, and HE shall be to
ME a Son?
6 And again, when HE bringeth in the FIRSTBEGOTTEN into the world, HE saith, And
let all the angels of ELOHIM worship HIM.
7 And of the angels HE saith, Who maketh HIS angels spirits, and HIS ministers a
flame of fire.
8 But unto the SON HE saith, THY throne, O ELOHIM, is for ever and ever: a
sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of THY kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore YAHUVEH, evenTHYELOHIM, hath anointed THEE with the oil of gladness above THY fellows.
10 And, Thou, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and
the heavens are the works of THINE hands:
11 They shall perish; but THOU remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a
garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt THOU fold them up, and they shall be changed: but THOU
art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said HE at any time, Sit on MY right hand, until I
make THINE enemies THY footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who
shall be heirs of salvation?
~ Hebrews 2 ~
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have
heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and
disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first
began to be spoken by YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH, and was confirmed unto us by them
that heard HIM;
4 YAHUVEHalso bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with
divers miracles, and gifts of the RUACH ha KODESH, according to HIS own will?
5 For unto the angels hath HE not put in subjection the world to come, whereof
we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art
mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest HIM?
7 THOU madest him a little lower than the angels; THOU crownedst him with glory
and honour, and didst set him over the works of THY hands:
8 THOU hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all
in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we
see not yet all things put under him.
9 But we see YAHUSHUAha MASHIACH, who was made a little lower than the angels
for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that HE by the grace
of YAHUVEH should taste death for every man.
10 For it became HIM, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things,
in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect
through sufferings.
11 For both HE that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one:
for which cause HE is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare THY name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church
will I sing praise unto THEE.
13 And again, I will put my trust in HIM. And again, Behold I and the children
which ELOHIM hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, HE also
HIMSELF likewise took part of the same; that through death HE might destroy him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to
bondage.
16 For verily HE took not on him the nature of angels; but HE took on HIM
the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved HIM to be made like unto HIS brethren,
that HE might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to
ELOHIM, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that HEHIMSELF hath suffered being tempted, HE is able to succour
them that are tempted.
~ Hebrews 3 ~
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the
Apostle and High Priest of our profession, YAHUSHUAha MASHIACH;
2 Who was faithful to HIM that appointed HIM, as also Moses was faithful in
all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who
hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but HE that built all things isYAHUVEH.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a
testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But the MESSIAH as a son over HIS own house; whose house are we, if we hold
fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
7 Wherefore (as the RUACH ha KODESH saith, Today if ye will hear HIS voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the
wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in
their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief,
in departing from the living ELOHIM.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be
hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of the MESSIAH, if we hold the beginning of our
confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts,
as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of
Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had
sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them
that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
~ Hebrews 4 ~
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his
rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word
preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard
it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in
my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished
from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And ELOHIM
did rest the seventh day from all HIS works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom
it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, HE limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a
time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear HIS voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if YAHUSHUAha MASHIACH had given them rest, then would HE not afterward
have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of ELOHIM.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works,
as ELOHIMdid from HIS.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the
same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of YAHUVEHis quick, and powerful, and sharper than any
twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of
the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all
things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the
heavens, YAHUSHUA the SON OF ELOHIM, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of
our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without
sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
~ Hebrews 5 ~
1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things
pertaining to ELOHIM, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way;
for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to
offer for sins.
4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of ELOHIM,
as was Aaron.
5 So also the MESSIAH glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but HE
that said unto HIM, Thou art MY SON, to day have I begotten THEE.
6 As HE saith also in another place, THOUart a priest for ever after the
order of Melchisedec.
7 Who in the days of HIS flesh, when HE had offered up prayers and supplications
with strong crying and tears unto HIM that was able to save HIM from death, and
was heard in that HE feared;
8 Though HE were a SON, yet learned HE obedience by the things which HE
suffered;
9 And being made perfect, HE became the author of eternal salvation unto all
them that obey HIM;
10 Called of YAHUVEH an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are
dull of hearing.
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach
you again which be the first principles of the oracles of ELOHIM; and are
become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness:
for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by
reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
~ Hebrews 6 ~
1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of the MESSIAH, let us go on
unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works,
and of faith toward ELOHIM,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of
the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if ELOHIM permit.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of
the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the RUACH ha KODESH,
5 And have tasted the good word of YAHUVEH, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they
crucify to themselves the SON OF ELOHIM afresh, and put HIM to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth
forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from ELOHIM:
8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto
cursing; whose end is to be burned.
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany
salvation, though we thus speak.
10 For ELOHIMis not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which
ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do
minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full
assurance of hope unto the end:
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience
inherit the promises.
13 For when YAHUVEH made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply
thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to
them an end of all strife.
17 Wherein YAHUVEH, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise
the immutability of HIS counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for ELOHIM to lie,
we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon
the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and
which entereth into that within the veil;
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, evenYAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH, made
an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
~ Hebrews 7 ~
1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high El, who met
Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation
King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of
peace;
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of
days, nor end of life; but made like unto the SON OF ELOHIM; abideth a priest
continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham
gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the
priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the
law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and
blessed him that had the promises.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom
it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the
people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest
should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of
Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of
the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which
no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our LORD sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses
spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec
there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power
of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the
weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did;
by the which we draw nigh unto ELOHIM.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him
that said unto him, YAHUVEH sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for
ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
22 By so much was YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH made a surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue
by reason of death:
24 But this man, because HE continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore HE is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto ELOHIM
by HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is HOLY, harmless, undefiled,
separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first
for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this HE did once, when HE
offered up HIMSELF.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the
oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for
evermore.
~ Hebrews 8 ~
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high
priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the
heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which YAHUVEH
pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it
is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are
priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was
admonished of ELOHIM when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith
HE, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the
mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the
mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have
been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, HE saith, Behold, the days come, saith YAHUVEH,
when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of
Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I
took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they
continued not in MY covenant, and I regarded them not, saith YAHUVEH.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after
those days, saith YAHUVEH; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in
their hearts: and I will be to them a ELOHIM, and they shall be to ME a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother,
saying, Know YAHUVEH: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that HE saith, A new covenant, HE hath made the first old. Now that
which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
~ Hebrews 9 ~
1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a
worldly sanctuary.
2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and
the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
4 Which had the golden censer, and the Ark of the Covenant overlaid round about
with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that
budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot
now speak particularly.
6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the
first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of ELOHIM.
7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without
blood, which he offered for HIMSELF, and for the errors of the people:
8 The RUACH ha KODESH this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was
not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both
gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as
pertaining to the conscience;
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal
ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
11 But the MESSIAH being come an high priest of good things to come, by a
greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of
this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by HIS OWN blood HE entered in
once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling
the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of the MESSIAH, who through the eternal SPIRIT
offered HIMSELF without spot to YAHUVEH, purge your conscience from dead works
to serve the living ELOHIM?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of
death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first
testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal
inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the Death of the
testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no
strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the
law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and
hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which YAHUVEH hath enjoined unto
you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of
the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding
of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens
should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better
sacrifices than these.
24 For the MESSIAH is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which
are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the
presence of ELOHIM for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into
the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but
now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the
sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So the MESSIAH was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that
look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. ~
~ Hebrews 10 ~
1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image
of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year
continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the
worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every
year.
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away
sins.
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou
wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do
thy will, O ELOHIM.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering
for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered
by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O ELOHIM. He taketh away the first,
that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of
YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same
sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after HE had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down
on the right hand of YAHUVEH;
13 From henceforth expecting till HIS enemies be made HIS footstool.
14 For by one offering HE hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the RUACH ha KODESH also is a witness to us: for after that HE had
said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith
YAHUVEH, I will put MY laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write
them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood
of YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH,
20 By a new and living way, which HE hath consecrated for us, through the veil,
that is to say, HIS flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of YAHUVEH;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our
hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is
faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some
is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day
approaching.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the
truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which
shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who
hath trodden under foot the SON OF ELOHIM, and hath counted the blood of the
covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite
unto the SPIRIT of grace?
30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will
recompense, saith YAHUVEH. And again, YAHUVEH shall judge HIS people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the LIVING ELOHIM.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated,
ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions;
and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of
your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an
enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of
reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of ELOHIM, ye
might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and HE that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall
have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe
to the saving of the soul. ~
~ Hebrews 11 ~
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of
YAHUVEH, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto YAHUVEH a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by
which he obtained witness that he was righteous, ELOHIM testifying of his gifts:
and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found,
because ELOHIM had translated him: for before his translation he had this
testimony, that he pleased ELOHIM.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please HIM: for he that cometh to
YAHUVEH must believe that HE is, and thatHE is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek HIM.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of YAHUVEH of things not seen as yet, moved with
fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the
world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should
after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither
he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country,
dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same
promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker isYAHUVEH.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was
delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged HIM faithful who
had promised.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the
stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore
innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen
them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed
that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came
out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore
YAHUVEH is not ashamed to be called their ELOHIM: for HE hath prepared for them
a city.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had
received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 Accounting that ELOHIMwas able to raise him up, even from the dead; from
whence also he received him in a figure.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and
worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children
of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents,
because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's
commandment.
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of ELOHIM, than to enjoy
the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of the MESSIAH greater riches than the treasures in
Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured,
as seeing HIM who is invisible.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that
destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the
Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about
seven days.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she
had received the spies with peace.
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and
of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and
of the prophets:
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness
were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the
aliens.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not
accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of
bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the
sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute,
afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in
mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the
promise:
40 YAHUVEH having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should
not be made perfect. ~
~ Hebrews 12 ~
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset
us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH the author and finisher of our faith; who
for the joy that was set before HIM endured the cross, despising the shame, and
is set down at the right hand of the throne of YAHUVEH.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto
children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of YAHUVEH, nor faint when
thou art rebuked of HIM:
6 For whom YAHUVEH loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom HE
receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, YAHUVEH dealeth with you as with sons; for what son
is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave
them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the FATHER of
spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but
HE for our profit, that we might be partakers of HIS holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out
of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see
YAHUVEH:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of YAHUVEH; lest any root
of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one
morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he
was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully
with tears.
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned
with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that
heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a
beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and
quake:)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living ELOHIM, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in
heaven, and to YAHUVEH the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made
perfect,
24 And to YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH the mediator of the new covenant, and to the
blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not HIM that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused
HIM that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from
HIM that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once
more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that
are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken
may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace,
whereby we may serve YAHUVEH acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our ELOHIMis a consuming fire. ~
~ Hebrews 13 ~
1 Let brotherly love continue.
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares.
3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer
adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and
adulterers YAHUVEH will judge.
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such
things as ye have: for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, YAHUVEHis my helper, and I will not fear what
man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word
of YAHUVEH: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8 YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good
thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not
profited them that have been occupied therein.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the
tabernacle.
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by
the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH also, that HE might sanctify the people with
HIS own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to YAHUVEH continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to HIS name.
16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices ELOHIM
is well pleased.
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch
for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy,
and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to
live honestly.
19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the
sooner.
20 Now the ELOHIM of peace, that brought again from the dead our LORD YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the
everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do HIS will, working in you that which
is wellpleasing in HIS sight, through YAHUSHUAHA MASHIACH; to whom be glory
for ever and ever. Amen.
22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have
written a letter unto you in few words.
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come
shortly, I will see you.
24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of
Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
