For the article the, th is pronounced as in "there" not stressed as in "thumb" or "thing." The E may be a short E sound (uh or schwa) as in "but." In this use, the word therhymes with "duh."

However, when the word the is pronounced before a vowel sound, it is properly pronounced "thee." For example, "the end," "the only", "the other."

"of" is pronounced as though written "ov," with the "o" being short as in the word "box".

Some people pronounce it "uv", but that is colloquial.
