GENESIS 3:14 And the Lord God said unto the Serpent, Because Thou hast done this {i.e. 2 Cor 11:3 beguiled, GW#1818 TO SEDUCE WHOLLY}, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

MATTHEW 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples
2 Saying The "SCRIBES" (1 Chronicles 2:55 {Kenites HW#7017 sons of Cain, patron. of HW#7014 CAIN}, Jeremiah 24:1-10 {the naughty figs}, 35:1-10, {Rachabites}) and the Pharisees sit in "Moses' seat" (i.e. as the law giver):
13 But "WOE" unto you, "SCRIBES" (i.e. the sons of the first murderer, Cain. 1 Chronicles 2:55) and Pharisees, hypocrites! "For Ye Shut Up The Kingdom Of Heaven Against Men": "For Ye Neither Go In Yourselves", "Neither Suffer Ye Them That Are Entering To Go In".
14 Woe unto you, "SCRIBES" (i.e. the sons of Cain) and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, "SCRIBES" (i.e. KENITES, sons of Cain, Mat. 13:24-30, 34-43 i.e. Gen. 3:14-15, i.e. Mat. 23:1-39, 27:1-25, , Amos 6:14, Jer. 24:1-10, 35:1-11, Acts 13:27, Rev. 2:9, 3:9) and Pharisees, hypocrites!

23 WOE UNTO YOU, SCRIBES & PHARISEES, HYOPCRITES! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the Weightier Matters of the Law, JUDGMENT, MERCY, & FAITH: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye Blind Guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, SCRIBES & PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! for ye make clean the outside of the Cup and of the platter, but Within They are FULL of EXTORTION & EXCESS. {Like the kenite jew scribes themselves}
26 Thou Blind Pharisee, "Cleanse" {REPENT} first that which is within the "cup" {THEMSELVES, within & without} and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto You, SCRIBES & PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! for YE are Like unto "WHITED SEPULCHRES", which indeed Appear Beautiful Outward, but are "WITHIN FULL OF DEAD MEN'S BONES", & of ALL UNCLEANNESS.
28 Even so Ye Also Outwardly APPEAR RIGHTEOUS UNTO MEN {i.e. AS WELL AS THEIR MESSIAH}, But Within YE ARE FULL OF HYPOCRISY & INIQUITY.
29 Woe unto you, SCRIBES and PHARISEES, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets & garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If We Had Been In The Days Of OUR FATHERS {I.E. FAMILIES OF THE SCRIBES 1 Chron. 2:55}, WE would not have Been Partakers with them in the BLOOD OF THE PROPHETS.
31 Wherefore YE be Witnesses unto Yourselves, that YE are the CHILDREN of Them Which KILLED {GW#5407 I.E. MURDERED} THE PROPHETS.
32 Fill YE Up Then The Measure Of YOUR FATHERS {I.E. THE SONS OF CAIN}.
33 YE SERPENTS, YE GENERATION {GW#1081 OFFSPRING} OF VIPERS {GW#2191}, HOW CAN YE ESCAPE THE DAMNATION OF HELL?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you Prophets, and Wise men, and Scribes: and Some Of Them YE Shall Kill and Crucify; & Some Of Them Shall YE Scourge In Your Synagogues, and Persecute Them From City To City:
35 That Upon YOU May Come ALL The Righteous Blood Shed Upon The Earth, FROM THE BLOOD OF RIGHTEOUS ABEL {Who Murdered Abel? CAIN} Unto The Blood Of Zacharias Son Of Barachias, Whom YE Slew Between The Temple And The Altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this GENERATION {OFFSPRING &/OR TIME PERIOD}.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! ZECHARIAH 11:11-14

HOW THE SONS OF CAIN FIRST INFILTRATED THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, BECOMING THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE JEWS & ARE NOT & ARE THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN
The authors of the kenite jew scribe religion of Judaism & the Talmud
JOSHUA 9:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;
2 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.
7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
8 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
9 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the Lord thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
10 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.
12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
13 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord.
15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.
16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
20 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.
21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
25 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And NOW Art Thou Cursed From The Earth, Which Hath Opened Her Mouth To Receive Thy Brother's BLOOD FROM THY HAND;
12 When THOU TILLEST THE GROUND, IT SHLL NOT HENCEFORTH YIELD UNTO THEE HER STRENGTH; A FUGITIVE AND A "VAGABOND" {"SCHUMER IN GERMAN"} SHALT THOU BE IN THE EARTH {OR IN THE SENATE}.
