orthjbc@Acts:10:1 @ Now a certain ish in Caesarea by name Cornelius, a centurion from what was called the Italian cohort,

orthjbc@Acts:10:2 @ a devout man, a yire Elohim, as was all his bais, who practiced much tzedakah for the benefit of Am Yisroel, and davened to Hashem continually.

orthjbc@Acts:10:3 @ Cornelius clearly saw in a chazon (note:)vision(:note) lav davka approximately at the ninth hour of the day three o'clock in the afternoon a malach Hashem having come to him and having said to him, "Cornelius!" [Tehillim strkjv@55:17]

orthjbc@Acts:10:4 @ And having looked intently at him and having become afraid, Cornelius said, "What is it, Adon?" The malach said to him, "Your tefillos and your giving tzedakah have ascended as a zekaron (note:)memorial offering(:note) before Hashem. [Tehillim strkjv@20:3]

orthjbc@Acts:10:5 @ "Now dispatch some anashim to Yafo and send for a certain Shimon who is also called Kefa.

orthjbc@Acts:10:6 @ "This one is staying with a certain Shimon, a tanner, whose bais is by the sea."

orthjbc@Acts:10:7 @ And, when the malach speaking to him had departed, Cornelius summoned shnayim of his household avadim and a devout chaiyal (note:)soldier(:note) from among the ones in his service,

orthjbc@Acts:10:8 @ and, having explained everything to them, sent them to Yafo.

orthjbc@Acts:10:9 @ Now on the next day, as these were traveling and drawing near to Yafo, around the sixth hour (note:)noon(:note), Kefa went up on to the roof to daven pray.

orthjbc@Acts:10:10 @ And Kefa became hungry, and was wanting to have a meal; but while they were preparing it, Kefa fell into a trance;

orthjbc@Acts:10:11 @ and he sees Shomayim having been opened, and a certain object descending like a large linen cloth lowered by four corners upon haAretz.

orthjbc@Acts:10:12 @ In this were all the four-footed animals and remesh haAdamah and Of haShomayim (note:)birds of heaven(:note).

orthjbc@Acts:10:13 @ And there came a kol (note:)voice(:note) to him, "Get up, Kefa, kill and eat!"

orthjbc@Acts:10:14 @ But Kefa said, "Chalilah li, Adonoi! For I have never eaten basar pigulim (note:)unclean meat(:note)." [Vayikra strkjv@11:4-8, 13-20; 20-25; Devarim strkjv@14:3-20; Yechezkel strkjv@4:14]

orthjbc@Acts:10:15 @ And the kol came to Kefa again for a second time, "What Hashem made tahor (note:)clean(:note), you should no longer regard as tameh unclean." [Bereshis strkjv@9:3]

orthjbc@Acts:10:16 @ And this happened shloshah pe'amim; and immediately the object was taken up into Shomayim.

orthjbc@Acts:10:17 @ Now, while Kefa was greatly perplexed within himself as to what the chazon which he saw might be, hinei, the anashim, who had been sent by Cornelius, and who had, by inquiring, found the bais of Shimon, stood at the gate;

orthjbc@Acts:10:18 @ and, calling out, they were asking if Shimon, the one called Kefa, is staying here.

orthjbc@Acts:10:19 @ And while Kefa was reflecting on the chazon, the Ruach Hakodesh said to him, "Hinei, shloshah anashim are looking for you.

orthjbc@Acts:10:20 @ "But get up and go downstairs and accompany them without apprehensions, for I myself have sent them."

orthjbc@Acts:10:21 @ And Kefa went downstairs to the anashim and said, "Hinei, I am the one whom you are seeking; for what reason did you come?"

orthjbc@Acts:10:22 @ And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an ish tzaddik, and a yire Elohim with a shem tov with all the Am HaYehudim, was directed by a malach kadosh to summon you to his bais and to hear a message from you."

orthjbc@Acts:10:23 @ Therefore, having invited them in, Kefa gave them hachnosas orchim (note:)hospitality, lodging(:note). And on the next day Kefa got up and went away with them, and some of the Achim b'Moshiach from Yafo accompanied him.

orthjbc@Acts:10:24 @ And on the next day, Moshiach's Shliach Shimon Kefa entered into Caesarea, and Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his krovey mishpokhot (note:)relatives(:note) and close friends.

orthjbc@Acts:10:25 @ Now when it came about that Kefa entered, Cornelius met him, falling at his feet to pay him reverence. [Daniel strkjv@7:14; strkjv@3:18]

orthjbc@Acts:10:26 @ Kefa made him stand up, saying, "Get up. I myself am an ish also" (note:)i.e. only a man, one of the behar, common people(:note).

orthjbc@Acts:10:27 @ And as he conversed with Cornelius, Kefa entered and finds many having assembled,

orthjbc@Acts:10:28 @ and he said to them, "You have da'as that it is asur (note:)prohibited(:note) for an ish Yehudi to associate with or to approach a nokhri foreigner. And yet to me Hashem showed to call no one sheketz abomination or tameh unclean.

orthjbc@Acts:10:29 @ "Therefore, also, when summoned, I came, raising no objections. And so I ask for what reason you summoned me?"

orthjbc@Acts:10:30 @ Cornelius said, "Four days ago to this hour, I was davening in my bais at the ninth hour, and, hinei, an ish stood before me in shining malbush (note:)clothing(:note),

orthjbc@Acts:10:31 @ "and he says, `Cornelius, your tefillah was heard and your tzedakah are remembered before Hashem.

orthjbc@Acts:10:32 @ `Therefore, send to Yafo and summon Shimon who is called Kefa. He is staying in the bais of Shimon the tanner by the sea.'

orthjbc@Acts:10:33 @ "At once I sent for you and you did well having come. Now, therefore, we all are present before Hashem to hear all the things that have been commanded to you by Adonoi." SHIMON KEFA SPEAKS IN CORNELIUS' HOUSE

orthjbc@Acts:10:34 @ And opening his mouth, Kefa said, "Omein, I have binah that Hashem is not one to show masso panim (note:)partiality(:note), [Devarim strkjv@10:17; Divrey Hayamim Bais strkjv@19:7; Iyov strkjv@34:19]

orthjbc@Acts:10:38 @ "You know Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua from Natzeret, how Hashem anointed him with the Ruach Hakodesh and with ko'ach (note:)power(:note), and how he went about doing mitzvot and giving refu'ah shlemah to all the ones being oppressed by Samael the devil because Hashem was with him. [Yeshayah strkjv@61:1]

orthjbc@Acts:10:39 @ "We are edim (note:)witnesses(:note) of all things which he did both in the countryside of Yehudah and in Yerushalayim. And they also put him to death, having hung him on an aitz tree. [Devarim strkjv@21:22]
