About this title

Synopsis

An exciting new literal translation of the Bible in English. This translation differs significantly from most common English translations in that it has restored the original book order of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Tanakh, and restored the Name of the Most High, YHWH throughout.

The Names of all the books in the Tenakh are now restored to the original Hebrew, including the books of the Torah: Bereshith (Genesis), Shemoth (Exodus), Wayiqra (Leviticus), etc, also the books of, Tehillim (Psalms), and Mishle (Proverbs) etc.

The traditional rendering of the word "Law" has been restored with "Torah" throughout the translation, retaining the richness and full meaning of this word in the Hebrew language.

The Scriptures is a literal translation of the Tanakh and the Messianic Scriptures.

The divine Name (the tetragrammaton), YHWH, appears in Hebrew characters throughout the translation in the Tanakh (Torah, Nevi'im, Kethuvim) and also in the Messianic Scriptures. The name by which the Messiah was known, Yahshua is restored in Hebrew as well.

The original Hebrew personal names of people and places are restored throughout the Scriptures, such as "Yirmeyahu" for Jeremiah, "Yeshayahu", for Isaiah and "Mosheh" for Moses and in the Messianic Scriptures, "Mattithyahu" for Matthew etc.

Words and names, as far as possible, have been corrected in order to eliminate any names of idolatrous origin.

The books in the Tanakh are arranged according to the original order of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings.

Difficult phrases in the Scriptures are explained in footnotes and the explanatory word list.

Store Description

I opened my first bookstore in Davis CA in 1985, and started selling online in 1998. I've sold about 50,000 books online, with fewer than 100 returns. I take book descriptions seriously--it's an art--and photos, if not initially available, need only to be requested. I've been away from abebooks a few years, but now am back, with vastly increased shelf space, and plan to double the inventory (while maintaining the erstwhile quality). Non-fiction is my bailiwick, the more specialized and obscure the better. So, we share an interest in specific knowledge, and I will cater to your sphere of knowing as only a 40-year book nerd can.
