Mattityahu 6:15-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

15. But if you do not give men mechila (forgiveness), neither will your chattaim receive selicha from your Av.

16. And whenever you undergo a tzom (fast), don't be like the sullen tzevuim (hypocrites), for they disfigure their faces to parade their tzom (fast). Omein, truly I say to you, they have received their sachar (reward).

17. But when you undergo a tzom, anoint your rosh with shemen (oil) and wash your face

18. so that your tzom is concealed from Bnei Adam but not from your Av Asher b'Seter (Father Who is in Secret). And your Av HaRoeh b'seter (Father the One seeing in secret) will give you sachar.

19. Do not store up for yourselves otzarot (treasures) on haaretz, where moth and rust destroy and where ganavim (thieves) break in and steal.

20. But zamlet (collect) for yourselves otzarot (treasures) in Shomayim, where neither moth nor rust destroys, neither do ganavim break in and steal.

21. For where your otzar (treasure) is, there also will be your lev (heart).

22. The eye is the menorah of the basar. Therefore, if your eye is unblurred, then your whole basar will be lighted.
