8:22And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord before the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;

23And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with your servants that have walked before you with all their heart.

27Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain you, how much less this house which I have built?

28But have regard to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which your servant prays before you this day:

29That your eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which you have said: My name shall be there: that you may hearken to the prayer, which your servant prays in this place to you.

30That you may hearken to the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel, whatever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of your dwelling in heaven; and when you hearest, show them mercy.

84:3my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.

4For the sparrow has found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Your altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

5Blessed are those that dwell in your house, O Lord: they shall praise you forever and ever.

10Look, O God our protector: and look on the face of your Christ.

11For better is one day in your courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.

7:1And there assembled together to him the Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law, coming from Jerusalem.

2And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.

3For the Pharisees, and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the teaching of the leaders:

4And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been rescued to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen containers, and of beds.

5And the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked him: Why do not your disciples walk according to the teaching of the leaders, but they eat bread with common hands?

6But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

7And in vain to they worship me, teaching teachings and instructions of men.

8For leaving the command of God, you hold the teaching of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.

9And he said to them: Well do you make void the command of God, that you may keep your own teaching.

10For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and The one who will curse father or mother, dying let him die.

11But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift,) whatever is from me, shall profit you.

12And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,

13Making void the word of God by your own teaching, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.
