This book provides the critical Hebrew text of Numbers circa 600BCE along with a coherent English translation that visually shows off all the autograph differences from the traditional text. The purpose of giving the lexicon form and the grammar of all variant Hebrew words, and their manuscript sources, is to allow access to everyone who wants an analysis of the Hebrew language.

Reviews

“Because all previous translations have been based on severely flawed texts that are not understood, literal phrases marked by semi-colons have become the norm for English editions…Entire chapters of Numbers quote the direct speech of the deity of Judeo-Christian culture…Ultimately, the Hebrew should be expressed in clear English sentences.”
-Professor David L. Phillips,
