RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

45 Which also our ahvot that came after brought in with
Yahoshua son of Nun, into this land of the gentiles, whom
tvkt drove out before the faces of our ahvot, up until
the days of Dawid;
46 Who found favor before vuvh, and desired to find a
tent for the tvkt of Yaakov.
47 But Shlomo built Him a Bayit.
48 But El-Elyon dwells not in temples made with hands;
as said the navi,
49 Heaven is My kesay, and the olam is My footstool:
what bayit will you build Me? Says the Master vuvh: or
where is the place of My rest?
50 Has not My hand made all these things?
51 You stiff-necked and uncircumcised 5278 in lev and
ears, you do always resist the Ruach Hakodesh: as your
ahvot did, so do you.
52 Which of the true neviim have not your ahvot
persecuted? And they have also killed those who spoke
before of the coming of the Tzadik-One; whom you now
have betrayed by murder:
53 Who have received the Torah like the very commands
given to heavenly malachim, but have not kept it.
54 When they heard these things, they were enraged, and
they gnashed on him with their teeth.
55 But he, being full of the Ruach Hakodesh, looked up
staring into the shamayim, and saw the tifereth of vuvh,
and gauvh standing on the right hand of El-Elyon,
56 And said, See, I see the shamayim opened, and the
Ben-Ahdahm standing on the right hand of vuvh. 5279
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and covered
their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the
witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet,
whose name was Shaul.
59 And they stoned Tzephanyah, while he was calling
upon tvkt, and saying, Master gauvh, receive my
ruach.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice,
Master gauvh; lay not this sin against them. And when he
had said this, he died.
8
And Shaul was approving of Tzephanyah’s death. And
at that time there was a great persecution against the
congregation of Yisrael at Yahrushalayim; and they were
all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Yahudah
and Shomron, except the shlichim. 5280
2 And devout men carried Tzephanyah to his burial, and
mourned over him in great human sorrow.
3 As for Shaul, he made havoc of the congregation of
Yisrael, entering into every bayit, and seizing men and
women, throwing them into prison.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went
everywhere proclaiming the word.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Shomron, 5281 and
proclaimed the Moshiach to them.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed to those
things that Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the nisim that
he did.
7 For shadim, crying with loud voices, came out of many
that were possessed with them: and many who were
paralyzed, and that were lame, were healed.
8 And there was great simcha in that city. 5282
9 But there was a certain man, called Shimon, who in the
MAASEH SHLICHIM - ACTS
- 677 -
past in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the
people of Shomron, claiming to be I AM: 5283
10 To whom they all prayed, from the least to the
greatest, saying, This man is the great power of tvkt.
11 And to him they paid careful attention, because for a
long time he had amazed them with sorceries.
12 But when they believed Philip proclaiming the things
concerning the malchut of vuvh, and the Name of gauvh
ha Moshiach, they were immersed, both men and women.
13 Then Shimon himself believed also: and when he was
immersed, he continued with Philip, and was impressed,
beholding the nisim and signs that were done.
14 Now when the shlichim who were at Yahrushalayim
heard that Shomron had received the word of vuvh, they
sent to them Kepha and Yochanan:
15 Who, when they had come down, made tefillah for
them, that they might receive the Ruach Hakodesh:
16 For until then He had not fallen upon them: they only
were immersed in the Name of the Savior gauvh.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received
the Ruach Hakodesh.
18 And when Shimon saw that through laying on of the
shlichim’s hands that the Ruach Hakodesh was given, he
offered them money, 5284
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whoever I lay
hands; he may receive the Ruach Hakodesh.
20 But Kepha said to him, Your money perishes with you,
because you have thought that the gift of vuvh may be
purchased with money.
21 You have nothing to do with our emunah: for your lev
is not right in the sight of vuvh.
22 Repent therefore of your wickedness, and make
tefillah to tvkt, if perhaps the thoughts of your lev may
be forgiven you.
23 For I perceive that you are poisoned with bitterness,
bound by Torah violations.
24 Then answered Shimon, and said, Make tefillah to the
Savior for me, that none of these things that you have
spoken come upon me.
25 And, when they had testified and proclaimed the word
of vuvh, they returned to Yahrushalayim, and proclaimed
the Besorah in many villages of the Shomronim.
26 And a heavenly malach of the Master vuvh spoke to
Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the
derech that goes down from Yahrushalayim to Azah,
which is desert.
27 And he arose and went: and, see, a man of Kush, a
faithful believer, 5285 a treasurer of great authority under
Kandace malqa of the Kushim, who was in charge of all
her treasure, and had come to Yahrushalayim to
worship, 5286
28 Was returning, and sitting in his mirkavah reading
Yeshayahu the navi.
29 Then the Ruach said to Philip, Go near, and join this
mirkavah.
30 And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading
Yeshayahu the navi, and said; Do you understand what
you read?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should
teach me? And he desired that Philip would come up and
sit with him.
32 The place of the Katuv from where he read was this,
He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a Lamb is
