The Pill Tanakh: Hebrew-English Jewish Scriptures - The Psalms, (Hardcover)

<p><strong>The Pill Tanakh: Hebrew-English Jewish Scriptures, The Psalms</strong></p><p> </p><p>This book comprises the book of Psalms of the Jewish Scriptures What makes The Pill Tanakh different? The following are some examples: </p><p> </p><p>1) The Hebrew and the English texts are side-by-side, on facing pages, with matching verses; there is no run-over of the more verbose English to another page! </p><p> </p><p>2) Each new book starts with an image from the actual Leningrad Codex on the page that the first verse of the book begins. </p><p> </p><p>3) For this edition, I have altered both the Hebrew and English texts especially to conform to the actual Leningrad Codex (circa year 1009), <strong>most notably in the Ten Commandments of Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. </strong></p><p> </p><p>4) I set the Hebrew numbering, which uses Hebrew letters, to follow a natural rendering for numbers 15 and 16, which rabbis insist must be obfuscated to NOT reflect the Divine Name (YHVH). I use yud-he for 15 and yud-vav for 16 instead </p><p>of tet-vav and tet-zayin as per 'rabbinic superstition!'</p><p> </p><p>5) Additionally, I have altered some English verses to better represent the Hebrew text in several places. As an example, I changed the over 5,000 instances where the title 'the Lord God' appears, replacing it with 'Yehovah, ' the transliteration of the Hebrew. </p><p> </p><p>6) In the margin of a line in the actual Leningrad Codex, there are words added that rabbis refer to as 'Qere' (what is read). These words were intended to replace a word in the line with the same root, known as 'Ketiv' (what is written). Other Jewish publications force the reading of the 'Qere' in lieu of the 'Ketiv, ' obscuring the originally written text; some versions place the 'Ketiv' in brackets while others place it in the margin outside the line! In The Pill Tanakh, I relegate those 1,110 'Qere additions' to small footnote notations in the Hebrew text, so that the reading is natural just as the Masoretic scribes intended. Moreover, I have found few instances where the 'Qere' is actually correct, but there are many instances that are blatantly wrong! </p><p></p><p><strong>Again, this is the Book of Psalms.</strong></p>
