Mattityahu 15:7-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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?

13. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, in reply, said, Every plant which Avi shbaShomayim did not plant will be uprooted.

14. Leave them. They are blind morei derech (guides, teachers) of [the] blind. And if the ivver (blind man) leads the ivrim (blind), both will fall into a pit.

15. And Kefa said in reply to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Explain to us the mashal.
