Reading through the Orthodox Jewish Bible in One Year:
Day Three - Bereshis 7: And Hashem said unto Noach, Come thou
and all thy bais into the tevah (ark); for thee have I found tzaddik before Me
in dor hazeh.
2 Of every behemah hatehorah thou shalt take to thee by sevens;
the male and his mate; and of behemah that are not tehorah by two, the male and
his mate.
3 Of also Oph HaShomayim by sevens, the zachar and the nekevah;
to keep zera alive upon the face of kol ha’aretz.
4 For shivah yamim from now, and I will cause it to rain upon
ha’aretz arba’im yom and arba’im lailah; and every living creature that I have
made will I wipe out from off the p’nei ha’adamah.
5 And Noach did according unto all that Hashem commanded him.
6 And Noach was shesh me’ot shanah when the mabbul waters were
upon ha’aretz.
7 And Noach entered in, and his banim, and his isha, and nashim
of his banim with him, into the tevah (ark), because of the waters of the
mabbul.
8 Of behemah hatehorah, and of behemah that are not tehorah, and
of haoph, and of every thing that creepeth upon ha’adamah,
9 There went in shnayim shnayim unto Noach into the tevah (ark),
the zachar and the nekevah, as Elohim had commanded Noach.
10 And it came to pass after shivat hayamim, that the waters of
the mabbul were upon ha’aretz.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noach’s life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of
the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of Shomayim were opened.
12 And the geshem was upon ha’aretz arba’im yom and arba’im
lailah.
13 On that very yom entered Noach, and Shem, and Cham, and
Yephet, the bnei Noach, and Noach’s isha, and the three nashim of his banim
with them, into the tevah (ark);
14 They, and every beast after its kind, and kol habehemah after
their kind, and every remes that crawls upon ha’aretz after its kind, and kol
haoph after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noach into the tevah (ark), shnayim
shnayim of kol habasar, wherein is the ruach chayyim.
16 And they that went in, went in zachar and nekevah of kol
basar, as Elohim had commanded him; then Hashem shut him in.
17 And the mabbul was arba’im yom upon ha’aretz; and the waters
increased, and lifted up the tevah (ark), and it rose above ha’aretz.
18 And the waters rose, and were increased greatly upon
ha’aretz; and the tevah (ark) floated upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters rose exceedingly upon ha’aretz; and all the
high hills, that were under kol HaShomayim, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters rise; and the harim were
covered.
21 And kol basar perished that moved upon ha’aretz, both of Oph,
and of Behemah, and of Beast, and of every Swarming Thing that swarms upon
ha’aretz, and kol haadam;
22 All in whose nostrils was the ruach chayyim, of all that was
in the dry land, perished.
23 And every living creature was wiped out which was upon the
p’nei haadamah, both Adam, and Behemah, and the Remes, and the Oph HaShomayim;
and they were wiped out from ha’aretz: and Noach only remained alive, and they
that were with him in the tevah (ark).
24 And the waters flooded upon ha’aretz a hundred and fifty
days.
8: And Elohim remembered Noach, and every living thing, and all
the behemah that was with him in the tevah (ark); and Elohim made a ruach to
pass over ha’aretz, and the waters subsided;
2 The ma’ayanot (springs) also of the tehom and the floodgates
of Shomayim were stopped, and the geshem from Shomayim was restrained;
3 And the waters receded from on ha’aretz continually; and after
the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And the tevah (ark) rested in the seventh month, on the
seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in
the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the rashei heharim seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of arba’im yom, that Noach
opened the chalon (window) of the tevah (ark) which he had made;
7 And he sent forth the orev (raven), which went forth to and
fro, until the waters were dried up from off ha’aretz.
8 Also he sent forth a yonah (dove) from him, to see if the
waters were abated from off the face of the adamah;
9 But the yonah found no manoach (place of rest) for the sole of
her foot, and she returned unto him into the tevah, for the waters were on the
p’nei kol ha’aretz; then he reached forth his yad, and took her, and pulled her
in unto him into the tevah (ark).
10 And he waited yet another shivat yamim; and again he sent
forth the yonah out of the tevah (ark);
11 And the yonah returned to him in the erev; and, hinei, in her
beak was a zayit (olive) leaf freshly plucked; so Noach had da’as that the
mayim were abated from off ha’aretz.
12 And he waited yet another shivat yamim; and sent forth the
yonah; which returned not unto him again.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in
the first month, the first day of the month, the mayim were dried up from off
ha’aretz; and Noach removed the mikhseh (covering) of the tevah (ark), and
looked, and, hinei, the surface of the adamah was dry.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of
the month, was ha’aretz dry.
15 And Elohim spoke unto Noach, saying,
16 Go forth of the tevah (ark), thou, and thy isha, and thy
banim, and the nashim of thy banim with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee,
of kol basar, both of bird, and of behemah, and of every creeping thing that
creepeth upon ha’aretz; that they may multiply abundantly on ha’aretz, and be
fruitful, and increase upon ha’aretz.
18 And Noach went forth, and his banim, and his isha, and the
nashim of his banim with him;
19 Every animal, every remes, and every bird, and whatsoever
creepeth upon ha’aretz, after their kinds, went forth out of the tevah (ark).
20 And Noach built a Mizbe’ach unto Hashem; and took of every
behemah hatehorah, and of kol haoph hatahor, and offered olot (burnt offerings)
on the Mizbe’ach.
21 And Hashem smelled a re’ach hannichoach; and Hashem said in
His lev, I will not again curse the adamah any more ba’avur (because of)
haAdam; for the yetzer of the lev haAdam is rah from his ne’urim (youth,
childhood); neither will I again strike any more every thing living, as I have
done.
22 While ha’aretz remaineth, zera (seedtime) and katzir
(harvest), and kor (cold) and chom (heat), and kayitz (summer) and choref
(winter), and yom and lailah shall not cease.
9: Vayevarech Elohim et Noach and his banim, and said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish ha’aretz.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every
beast of ha’aretz, and upon every bird of the air, upon all that moveth upon
ha’adamah, and upon all the dagim of the yam; into your yad are they delivered.
3 Every remes that liveth shall be food for you; even as the
yarok esev (green plant) have I given you all.
4 But basar with the nefesh thereof, which is the dahm thereof,
shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your dahm of your nefeshot will I require; at the
hand of every beast will I require it, and at the yad haAdam; at the hand of
every man’s brother will I require the nefesh haAdam.
6 Shofech dahm (one who sheddeth man’s blood), by man shall his
dahm be shed; for in the tzelem Elohim made He man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly
on ha’aretz, and multiply therein.
8 And Elohim spoke unto Noach, and to his banim with him,
saying,
9 And I, hineni, I establish My brit (covenant) with you, and
with your zera after you;
10 And with kol nefesh that is with you, of the bird, of the
behemah, and of every animal of ha’aretz with you; from kol yotzei hatevah (all
that go out of the ark), to every creature of ha’aretz.
11 And I will establish My brit (covenant) with you, neither
shall kol basar yikaret (be cut off, violently killed) any more by the waters
of the mabbul; neither shall there be any more mabbul l’shachat (to destroy)
ha’aretz.
12 And Elohim said, This is the ot (sign) of the brit (covenant)
which I make between Me and you and every nefesh chayyah (living creature) that
is with you, for dorot olam (perpetual generations);
13 I do set My keshet (bow) in the anan (cloud), and it shall be
for an ot brit between Me and ha’aretz.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring an anan over
ha’aretz, that the keshet be’anan (rainbow) shall be seen;
15 And I will remember My brit, which is between Me and you and
kol nefesh chayyah of kol basar; and the waters shall no more become a mabbul
(flood) l’shachat (to destroy) kol basar.
16 And the keshet shall be in the anan; and I will look upon it,
that I may remember the brit olam between Elohim and kol nefesh chayyah of kol
basar that is upon ha’aretz.
17 And Elohim said unto Noach, This is the ot habrit, which I
have established between Me and kol basar that is upon ha’aretz.
18 And the bnei Noach, that went forth of the tevah, were Shem,
and Cham, and Yephet; and Cham is the av of Kena’an (Canaan).
19 Shloshah (Three) are the bnei Noach; and of them was the kol
ha’aretz populated.
20 And Noach began to be an ish ha’adamah (a man of the soil),
and he planted a kerem (vineyard);
21 And he drank of the yayin, and became shikker (intoxicated);
and he lay uncovered inside his ohel.
22 And Cham, the av of Kena’an, saw the erom (nakedness) of his
av, and told his two achim on the outside.
23 And Shem and Yephet took a garment, and laid it upon both
their shoulders, and walked backward, and covered the erom of their av; and
their faces were turned the other way, and they saw not the erom of their av.
24 And Noach awoke from his yayin, and had da’as of what his ben
katan had done unto him.
25 And he said, Arur (cursed) be Kena’an; an eved of avadim
shall he be unto his achim.
26 And he said, Baruch Hashem Elohei Shem; and Kena’an shall be
his eved.
27 Elohim shall enlarge Yephet, and he shall dwell in the tents
of Shem; and Kena’an shall be his eved.
28 And Noach lived after the mabbul three hundred and fifty
years.
29 And all the days of Noach were nine hundred and fifty years;
and he died.
Mattityahu 3: Now in those days Yochanan of the tevilah of
teshuva appears, preaching, crying out as a maggid (preacher) [for the
Moshiach] in the midbar (wilderness) of Yehudah,
2 saying, Make teshuva, for the Malchut HaShomayim has come
near.
3 For this [Yochanan] is the one spoken of through Yeshayah the
Navi, saying, KOL KOREY BAMIDBAR (A voice of one shouting in the wilderness,
Isa 40:3): Prepare the Derech Hashem (the way of the L-rd). Make his paths
straight!
4 Now Yochanan himself had camel-hair clothing and a leather
belt around his waist, and his food was arbe (locusts) and devash (wild honey).
5 Then all Yerushalayim and all Yehudah and the whole region of
the Yarden were going out to him.
6 Making vidduy (confession of sin) [to Hashem] of their averos
(sins), they were submitted to a tevilah (immersion) by him, using the Yarden
River as a mikveh mayim (gathering of water).
7 But when he saw many of the Perushim and Tzedukim coming to
where he was using the Yarden as a mikveh mayim, Yochanan said to them, You
banim (sons) of nachashim (snakes)! Who warned you to flee from the charon af
[Hashem] habah (the coming burning wrath of Hashem)?
8 Produce pri tov l’teshuva (fruit worthy of repentance)!
9 Do not presume to say to yourselves, We have the yichus (proud
lineage), we have the zechut Avot (merit of the Fathers) of Avraham Avinu (our
father Abraham). For I say to you that Hashem is able to raise up from these
avanim (stones) banim (sons) of Avraham.
10 And already the ax is laid at the shoresh haetzim (the root
of the trees); therefore, every etz not producing pri tov (good fruit) is cut
down and thrown into the eish (fire).
11 I give you a tevilah (immersion) in a mikveh mayim for
teshuva, but Hu Habah (He who Comes; T.N. i.e., the Moshiach) after me has more
chozek (strength) than me. I am not worthy to remove his sandals. He will give
you a tevilah (immersion) with the Ruach Hakodesh and eish (fire).
12 The winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear out his
threshing floor, and he will gather his wheat into the storehouse; but the
chaff he will burn with unquenchable eish (fire).
13 Then Yehoshua comes from the Galil to the Yarden to Yochanan,
to submit to Yochanan’s tevilah.
14 But Yochanan would have deterred him, saying, I have need to
submit to your tevilah [T.N. i.e., Moshiach’s tevilah], and yet you come to me?
15 But answering him, Yehoshua said, Permit it now, for thus it
is proper to fulfill all Tzidkat Hashem [Dan 9:24].
16 And having received the tevilah in the Yarden’s mikveh mayim,
Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach immediately came up. And, hinei! The Shomayim were
opened to him, and he saw the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem descending like a yonah
(dove) and coming upon him.
17 And, hinei, a bat kol (a voice from heaven) came out of
Shomayim, saying, ZEH BNI AHUVI ASHER BO CHAFATZTI (This is my Son, the
beloved, with whom I am well pleased).
