16. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Are you still devoid of binah (understanding)?
17. Do you not have daas that everything which enters into the mouth goes into the stomach and passes into a latrine?
18. But the things coming out from the mouth come out from the lev (heart), which makes tameh.
19. For out of the lev comes evil machshavot (thoughts): retzichot (murders), niufim (adulteries), zenunim (fornications), genevot (thefts), eduyot sheker (false testimonies), giddufim (revilements).
20. These are the things making the man tameh, but eating with hands lacking the netilat yadayim (ritual of the washing of the hands, see Mt 27:24), this does not make the man tameh.
21. And having gone from that place, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach withdrew into the districts of Tzor and Tzidon.
22. And a woman from Canaan came out from those regions, and was shouting, Have mercy on me, Adoni, Ben Dovid! My bat is in torment possessed by shedim.
23. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not answer her a word. And Moshiach's talmidim having approached, were asking him, saying, Send her away; she shouts after us.
24. But, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, I was not sent except to the Seh Oveid Beis Yisroel (the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel).
25. But she came and fell down before him, saying, Adoni, azreini (L-rd, help me).
26. But, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, It is not good to take the lechem of the Banim and throw it to the kelevim (dogs).
27. But she said, Ken, Adoni, but even the kelevim eat the crumbs falling from the tish (table) of their masters.
