orthjbc Hebrews:12:14-29
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:14 @ Pursue shalom with kol bnei Adam, and the kedusha without which no one will see Hashem.
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:15 @ See to it that no one fall short of the Chen v'Chesed Hashem; that no SHORESH (note:)Devarim strkjv@29:19(:note) of merirut bitterness sprouting up may cause tzoros, and by it many be made teme'ot;
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:16 @ lest someone guilty of gilui arayot (note:)sexual immorality(:note) or some person who is mitnaged ladat like Esav, who in exchange for one meal sold Habechorah belonging to him.
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you have da'as that even afterwards, when he desired to receive the nachalah of the berakhah, he was rejected, for he found no place for teshuva, though he sought for it with tears. DEVEKUT (note:)ATTACHMENT TO G-D(:note) WITH HASHEM THROUGH REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH IS SUPERIOR TO ALL ELSE
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to a Har that can be touched and to a blazing Aish and to choshech and gloom and storm,
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:19 @ and to the blast of a shofar and the sound of dvarim, which sound was such that the ones having heard begged that no further dvar be spoken to them.
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not bear the mitzvah "If even a BEHEMAH" (note:)"animal" Shemot strkjv@13:19(:note) should touch the Har, the punishment will be seqilah stoning.
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:21 @ And so fearful was the sight that Moshe Rabbeinu said "YAGORTI" (note:)"I am afraid"--Devarim strkjv@9:19(:note) and trembling,
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:22 @ but you have come to Mount Tziyon, that is, HaIr HaElohim Chayyim, to the Yerushalayim in Shomayim and to myriads of malachim in a knesset of festivity,
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:23 @ and to the Kehillat HaBechorim who are inscribed in Shomayim and to Hashem, the Shofet HaKol, and to the ruchot (note:)spirits(:note) of the tzaddim made shleimim,
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Yehoshua, the Melitz of a Brit Chadasha and to the dahm hahazzayah (note:)blood of sprinkling(:note), which speaks better than the dahm haHevel.
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:25 @ See to it that you do not refuse the One speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who gave them warning on ha'aretz, much less shall we escape who turn away from the One whose warning comes from Shomayim.
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:26 @ And the bat kol of Hashem shook ha'aretz then, but now he has given havtachah (note:)promise(:note), saying, "Yet once more V'ANI MARISH ES HASHOMAYIM V'ES HA'ARETZ "And I will shake the heavens and the earth." Chaggai strkjv@2:6
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:27 @ Now the phrase, "Yet once more" denotes the removal of that which can be shaken, that is, created things, in order that the unshakeable may remain.
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, als (note:)since(:note) we are receiving a malchut unshakeable, let us hold on to the Chen v'Chesed Hashem through which we may offer to Hashem, an acceptable avodas kodesh, with yirat Shomayim and chassidus.
orthjbc@Hebrews:12:29 @ For, indeed, Eloheinu is a consuming Aish. [Devarim strkjv@4:24; strkjv@9:3; Yeshayah strkjv@33:14)
