1 Corinthians 11
11
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Messiah.
2 Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you. 3But I would have you know that the head#11:3 or, origin of every man is Messiah, and the head#11:3 or, origin of the woman is man, and the head#11:3 or, origin of Messiah is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonours his head. 5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonours her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved. 6For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered. 7For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man. 8For man is not from woman, but woman from man; 9for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord. 12For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God. 13Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled? 14Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonour to him? 15But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering. 16But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
17 But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist amongst you, and I partly believe it. 19For there also must be factions amongst you, that those who are approved may be revealed amongst you. 20When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. 21For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken. 22What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.
23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Yeshua on the night in which he was betrayed took bread. 24When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.” 25In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgement to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body. 30For this cause many amongst you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 31For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 33Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgement. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

1 Corinthians 11
11
1Become imitators of me as I also am an imitator of Moshiach.#11:1 see Ac 21:18-26
2Now, I commend you that in all things you have remembered me and you hold fast to the masoret torat haShlichim just as I transmitted and handed them over to you.#11:2 see Yd 1:3
3But I want you to have da'as that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is the rosh (head) of every one of the Bnei Adam, and the rosh of an isha is the ben Adam (Man, Ba'al),#11:3 Gn 3:16 and the rosh of Moshiach is Hashem.#11:3 Gn 3:16
4Every ben Adam davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) having anything hanging down over his rosh brings bushah (shame) upon his rosh.
5But every isha davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) in shul, begile rosh (with head uncovered), brings bushah (shame) upon her rosh, for it is one and the same thing to uncover the rosh as it is for the rosh of the isha having been shaved.#11:5 Dt 21:12
6For, if an isha is not covered, also let her be shorn. But als (since) it is in fact a thing of bushah (shame) for an isha to be shorn or to be shaved, let her be covered.
7For a ben Adam indeed ought not to be covered on the rosh, being the demut HASHEM#11:7 Gn 1:26 and the kavod Hashem, and the Isha being the kavod (glory), the glorious reflection of Adam.#11:7 Gn 1:26; 5:1; 9:6
8For Adam is not out of the Isha but Isha out of Adam (Man).#11:8 Gn 2:21-23
9Indeed, Adam was not created because of the Isha, but the Isha because of Adam (Man).#11:9 Gn 2:18
10Because of this, the Isha ought to have a kesut rosh (head covering) of marut (authority, discipline) on her rosh because of the malachim.
11However, neither is Isha without Adam (Man) nor Adam (Man) without Isha in Hashem.
12For just as the Isha comes out of Adam (Man),#11:12 Gn 2:21-23 so also the ben Adam (Man) comes through the Isha#11:12 Gn 3:15-16 but all things are of Hashem.#11:12 Gn 1:1; Ps 24:1; 50:12; 89:11
13You yourselves be the dayan (judge): is it fitting for an isha to offer tefillos to Hashem#11:13 in shul begile rosh (with head uncovered)?
14Does not teva (nature) itself give you the shiur (lesson) that if a ben Adam wears a long hair-do of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is a dishonor to him?
15But if an isha wears a long hairdo of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is her kavod?#11:15 Song 4:1 Because the long hair has been given to her instead of the sterntichel (kerchief) or kesut rosh (head covering).
16But if anyone presumes in his thinking to be contentious, we have no such minhag, nor do the kehillot of Hashem.#11:16 throughout the world
17But in giving the divrei Torah that follows I give no commendation,#11:17 11:2 because when you assemble as the shul of Moshiach, it is not for the better that you assemble, but for the worse.
18Ershtins (first of all), indeed when you come together as the kehillah#11:18 Ex 12:6 I hear there exist machlokot#11:18 1C 1:10 (divisions) and schisms among you, and partly I believe it.
19For it is necessary also for kitot (sects) of minut (heresy), of kefirah (heresy, denial) to be among you that also the approved ones may become manifest among you.#11:19 Dt 13:3
20Therefore, your farbrengen gatherings in one kahal (community) are not for the purpose of having Moshiachʼs Tish.
21For each one rushes ahead with his own seudah (meal). One is hungerik (hungry), one has passed out in his schnapps.
22Hey, you people, do you not have houses in which to eat and to drink? Or do you despise the Kehillah (congregation) of G-d? And do you bring bushah (shame), even humiliation, on the ones having nothing? What should I say to you? Will I commend you? In this I do not commend you people!
23For I received from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu that which also I transmitted and handed on to you, that Adoneinu Yehoshua, on the very lailah (night) in which he was betrayed, took the Pesach matzoh,
24And, having made the HaMotzi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach offered the betzi'at halechem (breaking of the bread) and said, ZEH HU VESARI HANNIVTZA BA'ADCHEM; ZOT ASU L'ZIKRONI. (This is my flesh, which is broken on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.)
25In like manner, after eating the [Pesach] seudah, also [after the bracha over] the [Kiddush] Cup, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, This#11:25 Kiddush Kos (Cup) is the BRIT CHADASHA#11:25 Jer 31:31; 32:40 in my DAHM (blood).#11:25 Ex 24:6-8; Zech 9:11 This do, as often as you drink, in ZIKARON#11:25 Josh 4:7 (remembrance) of me.
26For as often as you eat this Pesach matzoh and drink from this Pesach Kiddush Cup, you do proclaim the mavet#11:26 Isa 53:8-9; Dan 9:26 of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu until the Bias HaMoshiach.
27Therefore, whoever eats the Pesach matzoh or drinks the Kiddush Cup of#11:27 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu unworthily will be guilty and answerable for the basar and the dahm of#11:27 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.
28But let a ben Adam apply cheshbon hanefesh to himself and in that manner let him eat of the Pesach matzoh and let him drink of the Pesach Kiddush Cup.
29For the one eating and drinking is the one eating and drinking mishpat to himself when not discerning the basar (body).
30Because of this, many among you are weak and there are cholim (sick) and a number are sleeping the sleep of the mesim.
31But if we were judging ourselves,#11:31 in teshuva we would not be brought into mishpat (judgment).#11:31 Ps 32:5
32But, being brought into mishpat (judgment) by Hashem, we are being disciplined, that we may not be condemned#11:32 to Onesh Gehinnom with the Olam Hazeh.#11:32 Ps 115:5; 118:18; Prov 3:11,12
33Therefore, Achim b'Moshiach of mine, when you have your farbrengen gatherings and you gather for Tish, wait for one another.
34If anyone is so hungerik#11:34 1C 11:21 (hungry) [that he cannot wait], in his home let him eat, lest for mishpat you have kehillah. And as far as the hemshech (remaining part) is concerned, whenever I come I will set b'seder (in order).
