OrthJBC - Hebrews - 6

6:1  Therefore, let us leave behind the stam (elementary) ikkarim of the dvarim hahora'ah about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and let us move ahead to hitbagrut (maturity), not laying again a foundation of teshuvah from ma'asim metim (dead works) and emunah toward Hashem,

6:2  of divrei torah on tevilot and tohorah and s'mikhat yadayim and of the Techiyas HaMesim and of Mishpat Olam.

6:3  And this we shall do, im yirtzeh Hashem (if the L-rd wills). THE DANGER OF TURNING AWAY FROM REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH AND BECOMING A SHMAD DEFECTOR: THE DANGER OF AN APOSTATE MESSIANIC JEW NEVER AGAIN BEING A BAAL TESHUVA

6:4  For it is impossible for those who once received the Ohr Hashem, having tasted of the matanah of Shomayim and having become Chavrusa partners of the Ruach Hakodesh,

6:5  and having tasted the dvar Hashem haTov and the nifla'ot of the Olam Habah,

6:6  and then, having fallen away, and become shmad--it is impossible to renew them again to teshuva, because they have pierced to themselves the Ben HaElohim on the Aitz haKelalat Hashem and have again held him up to contempt and open bushah.

6:7  For haAdamah, which drinks the geshem (rain) that often falls upon it, and brings forth esev (plants) suitable for those for whom it is cultivated, receives a berakah from Hashem;

6:8  but if haAdamah is producing kotz v'dardar (thorns and thistles, Bereshis 3:18), it is worthless and near to being arurah (cursed, Bereshis 3:17), whose Ketz is for burning in Aish.

6:9  However, Chaverim, even though we speak in this way, we have been convinced of better things concerning you and of things belonging to Yeshua'at Eloheinu.

6:10  For Hashem is not unjust so as to forget your po'al (work) and the ahavah which you have shown toward ha-Shem of him, having rendered klei kodesh ministry service to the kedoshim, yes, and you are still serving them.

6:11  And we desire that each one of you show the same zerizut (diligence) so as to realize the full bittachon of the tikvah (hope) until HaKetz,

6:12  that you not become atzlanit (sluggards) but imitators of the ones who through emunah and zitzfleisch inherit the havtachot (promises).

6:13  For when Hashem gave the havtachah (promise) to Avraham Avinu, als (since) Hashem had no one greater by which to make a shevu'ah (oath), Hashem made a shevu'ah by Himself, [Bereshis 22:16]

6:14  saying "KI BARECH AVAREKHCHA V'HARBAH ARBAH" ("Surely blessing I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you" Bereshis 22:17).

6:15  And thus, having waited with zitzfleishch, Avraham Avinu obtained the havtachah (promise).

6:16  For bnei Adam make a shevu'ah by someone greater than themselves, and a shevu'ah given as confirmation, settles every matter decisively.

6:17  Similarly, when Hashem wanted to demonstrate even more emphatically to the yoreshim of the havtachah (promise) the unchangeableness of his willed purpose, Hashem guaranteed it with a shevu'ah,

6:18  in order that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for Hashem to speak sheker, we may have chozek (strength) and great encouragement, we who say that "he is my makhsi (refuge, Tehillim 91:2)" and have taken hold of the tikvah (hope) set before us.

6:19  This tikvah we have as an ogen (anchor) for the neshamah, a tikvah both firm and secure, which enters inside the parokhet, THE CHOCHMAH HASHOMAYIM, THE CHOCHMAH-BEN HAELOHIM REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH (MISHLE 8:30; 30:4) IS SUPERIOR TO THE KOHANIM

6:20  where Yehoshua has entered as a foroisgeier (forerunner) on behalf of us, having become a KOHEN L'OLAM AL DIVRATI MALKI-TZEDEK ("Kohen forever according to the order of Malki-Tzedek" --Tehillim 110:4).
