Lukas 16:17-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

17. But it is easier for HaShomayim and HaAretz to pass away than for one tag (ornamental flourish) of the Torah to fail.

18. Anyone giving the get to his isha and taking another wife commits ni'uf (adultery), and the one marrying a gerusha (divorcee) commits ni'uf (adultery).

19. Now there was a certain oisher (rich man). He was dressed in purple and fine linen, and yom yom (daily) he feasted sumptuosly and every day for him was to make a simcha. [YECHEZKEL 16:49]

20. And there was a certain ish oni (poor man) covered with sores, Elazar by name, who had been laid at the oisher's sha'ar (gate).

21. And the ish oni Elazar longed to fill his mogen (stomach) with what fell from the oisher's tish. But even the kelevim (dogs) were coming and licking the sores of the ish oni (poor man).

22. And it came to pass that Elazar died, and he was carried away by the malachim to the tish at the kheyk (bosom) of Avraham Avinu. And then the oisher (rich man) died also, and he was buried.
