Markos 7:11-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. But you say, If a man says to his Abba or to his Em, whatever by me you might have benefited is Korban [that is, the taitsh (translation) of korban is an offering to Hashem],

12. Then no longer do you permit him to do anything for his Abba or his Em.

13. You nullify and make void the dvar Hashem by means of your Masoret you received. And you do many similar things.

14. And having summoned again the multitude, he was saying to them, Give ear to me and have binah (understanding).

15. There is nothing outside of a ben Adam (human being) entering into him which is able to make him tameh, but it is the things coming out from the ben Adam that make him tameh.

16. He who has oznayim to hear, let him hear.

17. And when he left the multitude and entered a bais, his talmidim were asking him [about] the mashal.

18. And he says to them, Are you so lacking in binah also? Do you not have binah that it is not what is outside and entering into the ben Adam that is able to make him tameh (unclean)?

19. Because it does not enter into his lev, but into his stomach and goes out into the latrine, making all the okhel tohar [T.N. See Ro 14:14-23].

20. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying, It is the thing proceeding out of the ben Adam that makes him tameh.

21. For from within the lev of the ben Adam comes evil cravings and machshavot: then zenunim (fornications), gneyvot (thefts), retzichot (murders),

22. Niufim (adulteries), chamdanut (greediness), rishah (wickedness), nechalim (scheming deceitfulness), zimmah (lewdness, sensuality), an ayin horo or roah ayin (an envious evil eye), lashon hora, gaavah (pride), and ivvelet (foolishness).
