The New Jew: A Field Guide

Hebrew

פָּרִים בְּנֵי־בָקָר שְׁנַיִם וְאַיִל אֶחָד
וְשִׁבְעָה כְבָשִׂים בְּנֵי שָׁנָה תְּמִימִם יִהְיוּ

שְׁלֹשָׁה עֶשְׂרֹנִים לַפָּר וּשְׁנֵי עֶשְׂרֹנִים
לָאַיִל תַּעֲשׂוּ: עִשָּׂרוֹן עִשָּׂרוֹן תַּעֲשֶׂה
לַכֶּבֶשׂ הָאֶחָד לְשִׁבְעַת הַכְּבָשִׂים:
וּשְׂעִיר חַטָּאת אֶחָד לְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיכֶם:
מִלְּבַד עֹלַת הַבֹּקֶר אֲשֶׁר לְעֹלַת הַתָּמִיד
תַּעֲשׂוּ אֶת־אֵלֶּה: כָּאֵלֶּה תַּעֲשׂוּ לַיּוֹם
שִׁבְעַת יָמִים לֶחֶם אִשֵּׁה רֵיחַ־נִיחֹחַ
לַיהוָה עַל־עוֹלַת הַתָּמִיד יֵעָשֶׂה וְנִסְכּוֹ:
וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי מִקְרָא־קֹדֶשׁ יִהְיֶה לָכֶם
כָּל־מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדָה לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ:

You shall bring the following animals to the Lord as a burnt-offering, to be completely consumed by fire: two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs that are less than a year old. They shall be unblemished for you. As their flour-offering, bring three-tenths of an eifah of fine flour mixed with olive oil for each bull, two-tenths of an eifah for the ram, and one-tenth of an eifah for each lamb of the seven lambs. You should also bring one young male goat as a sin-offering to atone for your sins. You shall bring these offerings besides for the morning burnt-offering, which is offered daily. You shall bring these offerings on each day, for seven days. They are like food and are brought as a fire-offering to make a pleasing smell for the Lord. It shall all be brought in addition to the daily burnt-offering and its wine offering. And just as on the first day of this seven day period, the seventh day shall also be a holy gathering for you; you shall not do any work.

עוֹד הַיּוֹם בְּנֹב לַעֲמֹד יְנֹפֵף

תִּרְעֶינָה יַחְדָּו יִרְבְּצוּ יַלְדֵיהֶן
וְאַרְיֵה כַּבָּקָר יֹאכַל־תֶּבֶן:
וְשִׁעֲשַׁע יוֹנֵק עַל־חֻר פָּתֶן
וְעַל מְאוּרַת צִפְעוֹנִי גָּמוּל יָדוֹ

וְהָיְתָה מְנֻחָתוֹ כָּבוֹד: וְהָיָה
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יוֹסִיף אֲדֹנָי

The prophet Isaiah said: King Sennacherib of Assyria will hurry with his army to ensure that they arrive in the city of Nob, which was near Jerusalem, while it is still day on the fourteenth of Nissan, for his astrologers told him that, in order to conquer Jerusalem, he must attack it on this day. When he will see how small Jerusalem is, he will wave his hand in a mocking manner toward the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. He will ignore his astrologers' advice and wait until the following morning to attack the city. Behold, on that night, God, the Master, the Lord of the multitudes, will humble their arrogance, as a person chops off branches with a saw; the ministers, who stand tall in stature, will be cut down, and those who feel high and mighty will be lowered. The mighty soldiers, who are like the great and strong branches of the forest, will be cut off with iron, and the rest of the army, who are like the rest of the forest, will be made to fall by an angel sent by the Almighty. Regarding those who were already exiled, Isaiah said: there will come a time when a royal scepter—the king Mashiach—will emerge from the family line of Jesse, the father of King David, just as a twig sprouts from its roots. And the spirit of the Lord will rest upon him, a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of good advice and strength, a spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord. He will be filled with a spirit of fear of the Lord. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, nor will he decide by the hearing of his ears, for this spirit of God will allow him to discern the truth. He will judge the poor with justice, not letting the rich corrupt his judgment, and he will rebuke the strong and the rich with fairness for the sake of the humble of the earth. He will strike the wicked of the earth with the words of his mouth like a rod, and with the speech that comes from the breath of his lips, he will kill the wicked. The righteous will gather around him like a belt for his waist, and those with faith will gather around him like a belt for his waist. And the wolf will dwell in harmony with the lamb, and the leopard will crouch alongside the young goat. The calf, lion cub, and fattened ox will graze together, and a small child will lead them without fear. The cow and bear will graze together, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like cattle. An infant will be able to play over the opening of a snake den without fear of being harmed, and a toddler will be able to stretch his hand out over the eye of a viper and nothing will happen to him. The wild animals will neither harm nor destroy throughout the entire Land of Israel, My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of knowledge of the Lord, just as water completely covers the seabed. It will be on the day that Mashiach, who descends from the root of Jesse, will come; he will stand as the flag of the people, so that all nations will gather around him and seek his knowledge. His leadership will be restful and peaceful, because everyone will listen to him and honor him. On that day the Lord will again stretch out His hand for a second time to take back and return the rest of His nation who remain in Assyria, lower Egypt, upper Egypt, Ethiopia, Persia, Sumeria, Syria, and from the islands of the Mediterranean Sea, just as He did when He
