Mattityahu 15:5-12 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

5. But you say, Whoever says to his abba or his em, whatever support you might have had from me, [it is] a gift [i.e., korban, dedicated to G-d].

6. By no means does [anyone who says this] honor his abba or em. And you nullify the Dvar Hashem on account of your masoros.

7. You tzevuim, well did Yeshayah give a dvar hanevuah concerning you, saying,

8. YAAN KI NIGASH HAAM HAZEH BEFIV UVISHFATAV KI-BDUNI VLIBO RICHAK MIMENI VATEHI YIRATAM OTI MITZVAT ANASHIM MELUMADAH (This people with their lips honor me, but their heart is far away from me,

9. and in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the mitzvot of [mere] men, YESHAYAH 29:13.)

10. And having summoned the multitude, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Listen and understand!

11. It is not the thing entering into the mouth that makes the man tameh (unclean), but the thing going out from the mouth this makes the man tameh.

12. Then Moshiach's talmidim approached and say to him, Do you know that the Perushim took offense when they heard [this] dvar?
