ah of Yisra'el would come out of Tziyon! When God brings back the captivity of his people, Then shall Yaakov rejoice.PSALMS: 83
elim; Mo'av, and the Hagrim;7 Geval, Ammon, and Amalek; Peleshet with the inhabitants of Tzor;
8 Ashshur also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do to them as you did to Midyan, As to Sisera, as to Yavin, at the river Kishon;
10 Who perished at En-Dor,Orev and Ze'ev; Yes, all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmunnah;12 Who said, "Let us take possession Of God's pasturelands."
13 My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind.
14 As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire, 15 So pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm. 16 Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, LORD.
17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
18 That they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, Are HaElyon over all the eretz.

OLD TESTAMENT: GENESIS 26:17 - 27:46
26:17 Yitzchak departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there. 18 Yitzchak dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Avraham his father. For the Pelishtim had stopped them after the death of Avraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them. 19 Yitzchak's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. 20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Yitzchak's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well `Esek, because they contended with him. 21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called the name of it Sitnah. 22 He left that place, and dug another well. They didn't argue over that one. He called it Rechovot. He said, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land." 23 He went up from there to Be'er-Sheva. 24 The LORD appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Avraham your father. Don't be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Avraham's sake." 25 He built an altar there, and called on the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. There Yitzchak's servants dug a well. 26 Then Avimelekh went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzat his friend, and Pikhol the captain of his host. 27 Yitzchak said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?" 28 They said, "We saw plainly that the LORD was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you, 29 that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in shalom.' You are now the blessed of the LORD." 30 He made them a feast, and they ate and drink. 31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore one to another. Yitzchak sent them away, and they departed from him in shalom. 32 It happened the same day, that Yitzchak's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water." 33 He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Be'er-Sheva to this day. 34 When Esav was forty years old, he took as wife Yehudit, the daughter of Be'eri the Hittite, and Basemat, the daughter of Elon the Hittite. 35 They grieved Yitzchak and Rivka's spirits.
27:1 It happened, that when Yitzchak was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esav his elder son, and said to him, "My son?" He said to him, "Here I am." 2 He said, "See now, I am old. I don't know the day of my death. 3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison. 4 Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die. 5 Rivka heard when Yitzchak spoke to Esav his son. Esav went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 6 Rivka spoke to Yaakov her son, saying, "Behold, I heard your father speak to Esav your brother, saying,
7 'Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.'
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
9 Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good kids of the goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."11 Yaakov said to Rivka his mother, "Behold, Esav my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing." 13 His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me." 14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved. 15 Rivka took the good clothes of Esav, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Yaakov, her younger son.&
16 She put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck. 17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Yaakov.18 He came to his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?" 19 Yaakov said to his father, "I am Esav your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me."
20 Yitzchak said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He said, "Because the LORD your God gave me success."
21 Yitzchak said to Yaakov, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esav or not." 22 Yaakov went near to Yitzchak his father. He felt him, and said, "The voice is Yaakov's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esav." 23 He didn't recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esav's hands. So he blessed him. 24 He said, "Are you really my son Esav?" He said, "I am." 25 He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you." He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank. 26 His father Yitzchak said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son." 27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, "Behold, the smell of my son Is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed. 28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the eretz, and plenty of grain and new wine. 29 Let peoples serve you, Nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, Let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, Blessed be everyone who blesses you." 30 It happened, as soon as Yitzchak had made an end of blessing Yaakov, and Yaakov had just gone out from the presence of Yitzchak his father, that Esav his brother came in from his hunting. 31 He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me." 32 Yitzchak his father said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esav." 33 Yitzchak trembled violently, and said, "Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed." 34 When Esav heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father." 35 He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing." 36 He said, "Isn't he rightly named Yaakov? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?" 37 Yitzchak answered Esav, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?" 38 Esav said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esav lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 Yitzchak his father answered him, "Behold, of the fatness of the eretz will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.
40 By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, That you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."
41 Esav hated Yaakov because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esav said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Yaakov."
42 The words of Esav, her elder son, were told to Rivka. She sent and called Yaakov her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esav comforts himself about you by planning to kill you. 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Lavan, my brother, in Haran. 44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away; 45 until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?" 46 Rivka said to Yitzchak, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Het. If Ya`akov takes a wife of the daughters of Het, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?"
NEW TESTAMENT: MATTHEW 9:1 - 17
9:1 He entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you."
3 Behold, some of the Sofrim said to themselves, "This man blasphemes."
4 Yeshua, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Get up, and walk?'
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on eretz to forgive sins…" (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house."
7 He arose and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 As Yeshua passed by from there, he saw a man called Mattityahu sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him.
10It happened as he reclined in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and reclined with Yeshua and his talmidim.
11 When the Perushim saw it, they said to his talmidim, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
12 When Yeshua heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13 But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
14 Then Yochanan's talmidim came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Perushim fast often, but your talmidim don't fast?"
15 Yeshua said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
