Even The Dogs Get Fed
21 Then YAH-USHA went from there and departed into the coasts of Tsur and Tsidon.
22 And, see, a woman of Kanaan [4581] came out of the same coasts and cried to Him, saying, Have rachamim on me, O Master, Ben Dawid; my daughter is heavily vexed with a shed.
23 But He answered her not a word. And His talmidim came and sought Him, saying; Send her away; for she cries after us.
24 But He answered and said, They [4582] did not send Me but to the lost sheep of Beit Yisrael, who went astray and whored. [4583]
25 Then she came and worshipped Him, saying, Master, help me.
26 But He answered and said, It is not right to take the children’s lechem and to cast it to dogs. [4584]
27 And she said, Emet, sir: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from their masters’ shulchan.
28 Then YAH-USHA answered and said to her, O woman, great is your emunah: be it to you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29 And YAH-USHA departed from there and came near to the Sea of Galil; and went up into a mountain and sat down there.
30 And great multitudes came to Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed and many others and cast them down at YAH-USHA’s feet; and He healed them:
31 So that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speak, the maimed made whole, the lame to walk and the blind to see: and they gave tehilla to the Eloha of Yisrael.

Footnotes:
[4581] An alternate rendering of the Hebrew word for Canaanite could be merchant. [4582] Shem Tov reference: A reference to the plurality of divinity. [4583] This incident is interesting in that the disciples wanted to send her away seeing that in the natural she was a Canaanite woman. Yet Messiah apparently knew she had Yisraelite heritage due to His response that indicated that He would not abandon her, since He had come for the lost sheep of Yisrael, which apparently He knew her to be. [4584] A possible test for her. Not necessarily an indication that she was a true dog, or gentile.Glossary of Hebrew Words
