52:1

Module 5: The Investiture of the Holy City

Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Tziyon; put on thy beautiful garments, O Yarushalayim, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
52:2
Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Yarushalayim: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Tziyon.
52:3

The Redemption Without Silver

For thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
52:4
For thus saith Adonai 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, My people went down aforetime into Mitzrayim to sojourn there; and the Ashshuwr oppressed them without cause.
52:5
Now therefore, what have I here, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
52:6
Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
52:7

The Feet of the Besorah

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth the Besorah, that publisheth peace; that bringeth the Besorah of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Tziyon, Thy Elohim reigneth!
52:8
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall bring again Tziyon.
52:9
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Yarushalayim: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Yarushalayim.
52:10
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our Elohim.
52:11

The Departure and Biological Separation

Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
52:12
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will go before you; and the Elohim of Yashar'el will be your rereward.
52:13

The Exaltation of the Servant

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
52:14
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
52:15
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
