1:1 Elohim, who at many times and in many ways spoke in times past to our ancestors by the Prophets,^1:2 has in these Last Days spoken to us by his Son, who HE has appointed heir of all things, by whom also HE fashioned the Ages;^1:3 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 acquired our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High;^1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent Name than they.^1:5 Because to which of the angels said HE at anytime, You are my Son, this day have I engendered you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?^1:6 And again, when HE brings in the Firstborn into the earth, HE declares, And let all the angels of Elohim do homage to him.^1:7 And of the angels HE declares, Who makes his angels spirits, and his servants a flame of fire.^1:8 But to the Son HE declares, Your Throne, O Elohim, is for the ages of the ages: a Scepter of Righteousness is the Scepter of your Kingdom.^1:9 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore Elohim, even your Elohim, has Anointed you with the Oil of Exaltation above your fellows.^1:10 And you LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the cosmos are the works of your hands:^1:11 They will perish; but you remain; and they all will wax old as does a garment;^1:12 And as a mantle will you fold them up, and they will be transformed: but you are the same, and your years will not fail.^1:13 But to which of the angels said HE at anytime, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool? ^1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to execute commands for them who will be heirs of salvation?

2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that we have heard, unless at anytime we should let them slip.^2:2 Because if the Word spoken by angels was stable, and every violation and disobedience received a just payment of wages due;^2:3 How will we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; that at the first began to be spoken by the LORD and was confirmed to us by them that heard;^2:4 Elohim also bearing them witness, both with signs and portents and with variegated miracles, and gifts from the Sacred Spirit, according to his own will?^2:5 For to the angels has HE not put in subjection the earth to come, whereof we speak.^2:6 But one in a certain place testified saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the Son of Man, that you visited him?^2:7 You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor and did set him over the enterprises of your hands^:2:8 You have 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.^2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the Grace of Elohim should taste death for every human being.^2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many Sons to Glory, to make the Chief Leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings.^2:11 Because both he that consecrates and they who are consecrated are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren^2:12 saying, I will declare your Name to my brethren, in the middle of the ekklesia I will sing praise to you.^2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children that Elohim has given me.^2:14 Seeing then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might render inoperative him that had the power of death, that is the Devil;^2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.^2:16 For truly he took not on himself the nature of angels; but he succored to himself the lineage of Abraham.^2:17 Therefore in all things it appeared in history for him to be made like his brethren, so that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to Elohim, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.^2:18 For in that he himself has suffered being tested, he is able to succor them that are in trials.

3:1 Therefore holy brethren, partakers of the Cosmic Calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;^3:2 Who was faithful to HIM that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.^3:3 Because this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, as far as he who has built the Tabernacles has more honor than the Tabernacle.^3:4 Because every Tabernacle is built by someone; but HE that built all things is Elohim.^3:5 And Moses himself truly was faithful (in all of the Tabernacle), as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken after;^3:6 But Christ as a Son over his own Temple; whose Temple are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.^3:7 Therefore (as the Sacred Spirit declares, Today if you will hear his Voice,^3:8 harden not your hearts, as in The Affront, in the day of trial in the uninhabited places:^3:9 When your fathers tested me, examined me, and saw my enterprises for 40 years.^3:10 Therefore I was grieved with that generation and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.^3:11 So I adjured in my wrath, They will not enter into my Resting Place.)^3:12 Take heed brethren, unless there is in any of you with an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living Elohim.^3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called today; unless any of you are hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.^3:14 Because we have appeared in history as partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our foundation firm to the end;^3:15 While it is said, Today if you will hear His Voice, harden not your hearts, as in The Affront.^3:16 Because some, when they had heard did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.^3:17 But with who was he grieved 40 years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose corpses fell in the uninhabited places?^3:18 And to whom adjured he that they should not enter into his Resting Place, but to them that believed not?^3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

4:1 Let us therefore fear, unless a promise being left us of entering into his Resting Place, any of you should seem to come short of it.^4:2 Because to us was the Good News announced, as well as to them: but the Word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with Faith in them that heard it.^4:3 Because we that have believed do enter into the Resting Place as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they will enter into my Resting Place: although the enterprises appeared in history from the founding of the cosmos.^4:4 Because he spoke in a certain place concerning the 7th day in this manner, And Elohim did Rest the 7th day from all his enterprises.^4:5 And in this again, If they will enter into my Resting Place.^4:6 Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter into it, and they to who it was first announced entered not in because of unbelief:^4:7 Again, he limits a certain day saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if you will hear His Voice, harden not your hearts.^4:8 Because if Jesus had given them Rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.^4:9 There remains therefore a Sabbath (Rest) to the people of Elohim.^4:10 Because he that is entered into his Resting Place, he also has ceased from his own enterprises, as Elohim did from his.^4:11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that Resting Place, unless anyone falls down as in the same example of unbelief.^4:12 Because the Word of Elohim is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the breathe of life and spirit (silver cord), and of the joints and marrow, and is a judge of the thoughts and intents of the heart.^4:13 Neither is there any created thing that is not visible in his sight: but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him, with whom is our reckoning.^4:14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest that is passed into the cosmos, Jesus the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our profession.^4:15 Because we have not a High Priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses; but was in all points in trials like as we are, yet without sin.^4:16 Let us therefore approach openly to the Throne of Grace, that we may lay hold of Mercy, and find Grace to help in time of need.

5:1 Because every High Priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to Elohim, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins^:5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that have strayed; for that he himself is also compassed with weaknesses.^5:3 And because of this weakness he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins;^5:4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he that is called of Elohim, as was Aaron.^5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to appear in history as High Priest; but HE that said to him, You are my Son, today have I engendered you.^5:6 As HE declares also in another place, You are a Priest for the ages after the Order of Melchisedec.^5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;^5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things that he suffered;^5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of Age-Lasting Salvation to all them that obey Him;^5:10 Called of Elohim a High Priest after the Order of Melchisedec.^5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing you are dull of hearing.^5:12 Because by now you should be teachers, but you have need that one teach you again what are THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE DIVINE ORACLE [URIM-THUMMIM] OF ELOHIM; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.^5:13 Because everyone that uses milk is unskillful in the Word of Righteousness because that one is a baby.^5:14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and bad.

6:1 Therefore leaving the beginning of the Doctrine of Christ, let us go on to spiritual perfection; not laying again the foundation of a change of mind from dead works and of Faith toward Elohim,^6:2 of the Doctrine of Baptisms, Laying on of Hands, Resurrection from the Dead, and of Age-lasting Judgment.^6:3 And this will we do if Elohim permit.^6:4 Because it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the Cosmic Gift, and were made partakers of the Sacred Spirit,^6:5 and have tasted the good Word of Elohim, and the powers of the ages to come.^6:6 If they will fall away, to renew them again to a change of mind; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of Elohim afresh, and put Him to an open shame.^6:7 For the earth that drinks in the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth herbs useful for them by who it is dressed, receives blessing from Elohim:^6:8 But what bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is near to cursing; whose end is to be burned up.^6:9 But beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we speak about this.^6:10 Because Elohim is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of brotherly love that you have showed toward his Name, in that you have attended to the saints and do service.^6:11 And we desire that everyone of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto The End:^6:12 That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through Faith and patience inherit the promises.^6:13 Because when Elohim made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, he swore by himself^6:14 saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.^6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.^6:16 Because men truly adjure by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.^6:17 Wherein Elohim, willing more abundantly to show to the Heirs of Promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:^6:18 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:^6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of our life, both sure and stable, and entering into that within The Veil,^6:20 where Jesus the forerunner is for us entered in, made a High Priest for the ages after the Order of Melchisedec.

7:1 Because this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the Most High Elohim who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;^7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a 10th part of all; first being by interpretation King of Righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, that is, King of Peace;^7:3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of Elohim; abides a priest continually.^7:4 Now consider how great this one is, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the 10th of the spoils.^7:5 And truly they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the administration of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the Law, that is, from their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:^7:6 But he whose lineage is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.^7:7 And apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed.^7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receives them of whom it is witnessed that he Lives.^7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receives tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.^7:10 Because he was still in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.^7:11 If therefore the consummation came by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the Law,) what further need was there that another Priest should arise after the Order of Melchisedec, and not be directed under the Order of Aaron?^7:12 Because the Priesthood being transferred, there appears in history a necessity of transfer also of the Law.^7:13 Because he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the Altar.^7:14 Because it is evident that our LORD descended out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning the Priesthood.^7:15 And it is still far more evident, that after the likeness of Melchisedec there arises another Priest,^7:16 who is made, not after the Law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an indissoluble Life.^7:17 Because he testifies, You are a Priest for the ages after the Order of Melchisedec.^7:18 For a disabling indeed does come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,^7:19 because the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw near to Elohim.^7:20 For as this is not without the taking of an oath.^7:21 (Because those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said to him, The LORD adjured and will not change his mind, You are a Priest for the ages after the Order of Melchisedec) ^7:22 By so much was Jesus made a sponsor of a better arrangement.^7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:^7:24 But this one, because he continues on has an Unchangeable Priesthood.^7:25 Therefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to Elohim by him, seeing he always lives to make intercession for them.^7:26 Because such a High Priest became us, who is Holy, harmless, unspoiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the cosmos;^7:27 Who does not need to daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins and then for the people's, because this he did once, when he offered up himself.^7:28 Because the Law makes men high priests that have weaknesses; but the Word of the oath, that came after the Law, appoints the Son, who is consecrated for the ages.

8:1 Now of the things that we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the cosmos;^8:2 A Priest of the Sacred Place and of the Real Tabernacle (that the LORD staked), and not man.^8:3 Because every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: therefore it is necessary that this man have something himself to offer.^8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the Law:^8:5 Who serve as the example and shadow of cosmic things, as Moses was advised of Elohim when he was about to make the Tabernacle. Because see says he, That you make all things according to the pattern shown to you in the Mountain.^8:6 But now has he obtained a more excellent service, by how much also he is the mediator of a better Covenant, which was enacted upon better promises.^8:7 Because if that first Covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.^8:8 For finding fault with them, he declares, Behold, the days come says the LORD, when I will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah:^8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their forefathers 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, says the LORD.^8:10 Because this is the Covenant that I will make with the House of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put my Laws into their mind and write them in their hearts, and I will be to them an Elohim, and they will be to me a people^:8:11 And they will not teach everyone his neighbor and everyone his brother saying, Know the LORD, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest.^8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their wickedness I will remember no more.^8:13 In that he says, A New Covenant, he has made the first old. Now what decays and waxes old is ready to disappear.

9:1 Then truly the first Covenant had also ordinances of divine service and a Sacred Place.^9:2 For a Tabernacle was prepared, the first, in which was both the Lamp- Stand, and the Table, and the Consecrated Bread of the presence, which is called Holy.^9:3 And behind the Second Veil, the Tabernacle that is called the Holy of Holies;^9:4 which had the Golden Censer, and the Ark of the Covenant overlaid all around with gold, in which was the Golden Pot that had manna, and Aaron's Staff that budded, and the Tablets of the Covenant;^9:5 And over it the Cherubim of Glory shadowing the Covering-Lid; of which we cannot now speak in detail.^9:6 Now when these things were made ready, the priests went always into the first Tabernacle, accomplishing the service of Elohim.^9:7 But into the second went the High Priest alone once every year, not without blood, that he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:^9:8 The Sacred Spirit signifying this, that the way into the Holy of Holies was not yet made visible while the first Tabernacle was still standing.^9:9 That 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;^9:10 That stood only in foods and drinks and different washings, and fleshly ordinances, imposed on them until the Time of Restoration.^9:11 But Christ being come, a 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 creation;^9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered once into the Holy of Holies, having obtained an Age-Lasting Ransom for us.^9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the Ashes of a Red Heifer sprinkling the unclean, consecrates to the purifying of the flesh:^9:14 How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the Age-Lasting Spirit offered himself without blemish to Elohim, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim?^9:15 And because of this, from a New Covenant he is Mediator, that death having come, for ransoming of the transgressions under the first Covenant, those called may receive the promise of the Age- Lasting Inheritance,^9:16 Because where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.^9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator lives.^9:18 So that even the first Covenant was not dedicated without blood.^9:19 Because 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 scroll, and all the people^9:20 saying, This is the blood of the Covenant that Elohim has enjoined to you.^9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the Tabernacle and all the vessels of the service.^9:22 And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no pardon.^9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the cosmos should be purified with these; but the cosmic things themselves with better sacrifices than these.^9:24 Because Christ is not entered into the Holy Places made with hands, which are the figures of the real; but into the cosmos itself, now to appear in the presence of Elohim for us^:9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the High Priest enters into the Holy of Holies every year with blood of others;^9:26 Because then he must often have suffered since the foundation of the cosmos: but now once in the End of the Age has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.^9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment:^9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him will he appear the Second Time without sin unto salvation.

10:1 Because the Law is only a shadow (a sketch) of good things to come and not the real image of the things, can never with those sacrifices that they offered year by year continually make those that come perfect.^10:2 Otherwise, would not the offerings have stopped? If the worshippers had once been cleansed, they would no longer have any consciousness of sin.^10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.^10:4 Because it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.^10:5 Therefore when he comes into the cosmos he said, Sacrifice and offering you did not will, but a body have you prepared me:^10:6 In whole Burnt-Offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.^10:7 Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of the scroll it is written of me,) to do your will O Elohim.^10:8 Saying above, sacrifice and offering, and whole Burnt-Offerings, and concerning Sin-Offering you did not will, nor delight in, that according to the Law are offered.^10:9 Then He said, Lo, I come to do your will O Elohim. He takes away the first, so that he may establish the second.^10:10 By which we will have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.^10:11 And every priest stands daily serving and offering many times the same sacrifices, that can never take away sins:^10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for the ages, sat down on the right hand of Elohim;^10:13 as to the rest, expecting until he may place his enemies as his footstool.^10:14 Because by one offering he has perfected for the ages them that are consecrated.^10:15 The Sacred Spirit also is a witness to us. For after that he said,^10:16 This is the Covenant that I will make with them after those days declares the LORD, I will put my Laws into their hearts and in their minds will I write them;^10:17 And their sins and violation of Law I will remember no more.^10:18 Now where pardoning of these is, there is no more offering for sin.^10:19 Having therefore brethren, boldness to enter into the Sacred Places by the blood of Jesus,^10:20 by a new and living way that he has consecrated for us, through the Veil, that is to say, his flesh;^10:21 And having a High Priest over the House of Elohim;^10:22 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.^10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our Faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) ^10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke to Love and to good works:^10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.^10:26 Because if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the Truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,^10:27 but a certain fearful looking for of Judgment and fiery indignation, that will devour the opposition.^10:28 He that despised Moses' Law died without mercy under two or three witnesses^.10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, will he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of Elohim, and has counted the blood of the Covenant, with which he was consecrated, an unholy thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of Grace?^10:30 Because we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay says the LORD. And again, The LORD will Judge his people.^10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.^10:32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which after you were illuminated, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;^10:33 Partly, while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while you became companions of them that were so used.^10:34 For also with my bonds you sympathized, and the robbery of your goods with joy you did receive, knowing that you have in yourselves a better substance in the cosmos, and an enduring one.^10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, that has payment of wages due.^10:36 Because you have need of patience, that after you have done the will of Elohim you might receive the promise.^10:37 For yet a little while, and he that will come, will come, and will not linger.^10:38 Now the righteous will live by Faith: but if anyone draws back, my life will have no pleasure in him.^10:39 But we are not of them who draw back to utter destruction; but of them that believe to the saving of the life.

11:1 Now Faith is the actual evidence of things hoped for, the proof of things not seen.^11:2 For by it the Elders obtained a good report.^11:3 Through Faith we understand that the Ages were framed by the Word of Elohim, so that things that are seen did not appear in history from things that come into existence.^11:4 By Faith Abel offered to Elohim 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 still speaks.^11:5 By Faith Enoch was transferred so that he should not see death; and was not found, because Elohim had transferred him, because before his (being transferred from one place to another) he had this testimony, that he pleased Elohim.^11:6 But without Faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to Elohim must believe that HE IS, and that he is one that pays wages to them that diligently seek him.^11:7 By Faith Noah, being warned from Elohim of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an Ark-Vessel to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness that is by Faith.^11:8 By Faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place that he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and went out, not knowing where he went.^11:9 By Faith he sojourned in the Promised Land, as in a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:^11:10 Because he looked for a city that has foundations, whose builder and maker is Elohim.^11:11 Through Faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past the age for gendering children, because she judged him faithful who had promised.^11:12 Therefore sprang there even from one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand that is by the seashore innumerable.^11:13 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 foreigners and pilgrims on the earth.^11:14 Because they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.^11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from where they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.^11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is a Cosmic one: where Elohim is not ashamed to be called their Elohim, because HE has prepared for them a city.^11:17 By Faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,^11:18 of whom it was said, That in Isaac will your seed be called:^11:19 Accounting that Elohim was able to resurrect him up, even from the dead; from where also he received him back as a type (figure).^11:20 By Faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.^11:21 By Faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.^11:22 By Faith Joseph, when he died made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.^11:23 By Faith Moses, when he was born was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a comely infant; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.^11:24 By Faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;^11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of Elohim, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;^11:26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, because he had respect to the payment of wages due.^11:27 By Faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king: for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.^11:28 Through Faith he ordained the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood, unless he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them also.^11:29 By Faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land: that the Egyptians attempted to do but were drowned.^11:30 By Faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were encircled for 7 days.^11:31 By Faith the prostitute Rahab did not die with those that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.^11:32 And what will I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the Prophets:^11:33 Who through Faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,^11:34 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.^11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: but others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that a better resurrection they might receive.^11:36 And others had trials of cruel mockings and scourgings, yes, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:^11:37 They were stoned, they were cut in two, were tempted, died by the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill treated;^11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy) they wandered in uninhabited places, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.^11:39 And all these, having obtained a good report through Faith, received not the promise:^11:40 Elohim having provided something better for us, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.

12:1 Therefore seeing we are also encircled about with so great a cloud-mass of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin that does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,^12:2 looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our Faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the stake, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim.^12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, unless you are wearied and faint in your minds.^12:4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.^12:5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that speaks to you as to children, my son, despise not the corrective training from the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:^12:6 For who the LORD dearly loves he corrects, and scourges every son who he accepts.^12:7 If you endure corrective training, Elohim deals with you as with sons; for what son is he who the dad does not correct?^12:8 But if you are without correction, of which all are partakers, then you are bastards and not sons.^12:9 Furthermore we have had dads of our flesh that corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of Spirits, and live?^12:10 Because they truly for a few days corrected us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his Holiness.^12:11 Now no correcting for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them that are exercised thereby.^12:12 So on account of this lift up the hands that hang down, and the feeble knees;^12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, unless what is lame is turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.^12:14 Follow peace with all, and consecration, without which no one will see the LORD:^12:15 Looking diligently unless anyone fails of the Grace of Elohim; unless any root of bitterness springing up troubles you, and by such many are defiled;^12:16 Unless there is any pornographer, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.^12:17 Because you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected, because he found no opportunity for a change of mind, though he sought it carefully with tears.^12:18 Because you are not come to the Mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor to gloom and darkness, and sudden storm,^12:19 and the sound of a trumpet, and the Voice of Words; which Voice they that heard begged that the Word should not be spoken to them anymore:^12:20 (For they could not endure what was commanded, and if so much as an animal touched the mountain, it will be stoned or thrust through with a dart:^12:21 And so terrible was the sight that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake)^12:22 But you are come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living Elohim, the Cosmic Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,^12:23 to the festal gathering and ekklessia of the firstborn, that are written in the cosmos, and to Elohim the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous ones made perfect,^12:24 And to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks of better things than that of Abel.^12:25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. Because if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more will not we escape, if we turn away from Him that speaks from the cosmos:^12:26 Whose Voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also the cosmos.^12:27 And this Word, still once more signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are fashioned, that those things that cannot be shaken may remain.^12:28 Therefore we receiving a Kingdom that cannot be moved, let us have Grace, in which we may serve Elohim acceptably with reverence and circumspection:^12:29 Because our Elohim is a consuming fire.

13:1 Let brotherly love continue.^13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: because some have entertained angels without knowing it.^13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them that suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.^13:4 Marriage is honorable in all things and the bed undefiled: but pornographers and adulterers Elohim will judge.^13:5 Let your manner of life be without loving money and be content with such things as you have: because he has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.^13:6 So that we may boldly say, the LORD my helper, and I will not fear what people will do to me.^13:7 Remember them that are leading you, who have spoken to you the Word of Elohim: whose Faith follow, considering the end of their conduct.^13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for the ages.^13:9 Be not carried about with variegated and alien doctrines. Because it is a good thing that the heart is established with Grace; not with foods, that have not profited them that have been occupied in such things.^13:10 We have an Altar, in which they have no right to eat that serve the [former] Tabernacle.^13:11 Because the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the Sacred Place by the High Priest for sin, are burned without the Camp of Israel.^13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that he might consecrate the people with his own blood, suffered without the Gate.^13:13 Let us go forth therefore to him without the City of Jerusalem, bearing his reproach.^13:14 Because here have we no enduring city, but we seek one to come.^13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to Elohim always, that is, the fruit of our lips giving praise to his Name.^13:16 But to do good and to associate forget not: because with such sacrifices Elohim is well pleased.^13:17 Obey them that are leading you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your lives, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy and not with grief, for that is unprofitable for you.^13:18 Pray for us^: because we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.^13:19 But I exhort you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.^13:20 Now the Elohim of peace, that brought again from the dead our LORD Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the Age-Lasting Covenant,^13:21 render you fit in every good work to do his will, working in you what is acceptable in his sight through Jesus Christ; to who is glory for the ages of the ages. Amen.^13:22 And I exhort you brethren, sustain the Word of exhortation, because I have written a letter to you in few words.^13:23 Know you that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.^13:24 Welcome all them that are leading you, and all the saints. They of Italy greet you.^13:25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
