61:1

Module 14: The Anointing of the Tirshatha and the Restoration of the Broken-Hearted

The Spirit (Ruach) of Adonai 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is upon me; because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath anointed (mashach) me to preach the Besorah unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
61:2
To proclaim the acceptable year of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and the day of vengeance (naqam) of our Elohim; to comfort all that mourn;
61:3

The Trees of Righteousness

To appoint unto them that mourn in Tziyon, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness (aylay tzedeq), the planting of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, that he might be glorified (kabod).
61:4

The Rebuilding of the Ancient Wastes

And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
61:5
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien (neker) shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
61:6

The Royal Priesthood of Yashar'el

But ye shall be named the Priests (kahiniym) of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄: men shall call you the Ministers of our Elohim: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory (kabod) shall ye boast yourselves.
61:7
For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
61:8

The Covenant of Justice

For I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 love judgment (mishpat), I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
61:9
And their seed (zera) shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath blessed.
61:10

The Garments of Salvation

I will greatly rejoice in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, my soul shall be joyful in my Elohim; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness (tzedaqah), as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
61:11
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so Adonai 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
