There have been many fine translations of the Scriptures which, over the years, have been such a wonderful source of blessing to so many. Yet the multitude of choices between available translations is in itself a source of confusion for many. Which translation is truly the Word of the Most High? Don’t some translations appear to outrightly contradict the reading of certain other translations? Is it really necessary, one may ask, to add yet another one?

Does Adventism teach the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity? Or do they just use the term and redefine it, denying the actual doctrine? Find out for yourself.

The reality is that the inspired Word of the Almighty is not represented adequately in any translation or version made by human beings (including this one!), for the best translation only represents the sincere and prayerful attempt by human beings to render the Word of the Creator into a receptor language which ultimately has its origins at the Tower of Baḇel, and words in one language do not have a one-to-one correspondence with words in any other language. The Scriptures are, after all, those words which were originally breathed out by the very Creator Himself. While we definitely believe in the overriding hand of Providence in the transmission of the Scriptures (Rom. 3:2; 9:4,5), no sincere translator (or board of translators) would ever be so pompous as to assert that his or her translation is the very Word of the Almighty himself! Approaching the task of Scripture translation from different backgrounds, environments, cultural mindsets, etc.

Inevitably affects the end result. Those with no access to the original language of Scripture become entirely dependent on whichever translations are in their hands. Apart from taking steps to get to grips with the original languages of the Scriptures (something that we would earnestly encourage every genuine student of the Scriptures to do), the only other recourse they have is to acquire and compare as many translations/versions of the Scriptures as possible. This way something, however small, may be grasped, of the multifaceted depth of the original. Thus there remains a real need for further translations which will help to bring forth yet further elements from the original tongue that are not adequately reflected in other translations. This is precisely where “The Scriptures - 2009 Edition (ISR)” comes into the picture. This edition of the Scriptures, while attempting to be an accurate translation, seeks at the same time to introduce the reader to something of the Hebraic mindset and culture which are very much a part of the original.

Indeed, we see this is as absolutely necessary for the serious student of Scripture. The events of Scripture did not occur in the modern western world, with its Anglo-Hellenist mindset, but within the very different world of the ancient middle-east, and the Semitic mindset of the People of Yisra’ĕl. While we have sought to accurately translate rather than to interpret, aiming at producing a literal translation rather than a paraphrase, we have tried to provide the student of Scripture with a tool which in some way helps him or her to “experience” the Scriptures as Semitic rather than Hellenistic.

In so doing we have taken much further the work of the 1993 and 1998 editions of the ISR “Scriptures” toward this end. As in the earlier editions, our aims have included: “A translation of the Scriptures which:.

restores the Name of the Almighty to its rightful place in the text (see THE RESTORATION OF THE NAME, below). Is recognisably Messianic in that it affirms the Hebraic roots of the Messianic belief by its appearance, by the use of Hebraic forms of certain words and titles, and by its usage of the same division of the pre-Messianic books of Scripture (the Tanaḵ Or “Old Testament”) that was current at the time of our Messiah. Restores the meaning to so many words which have become popular to use, but do not accurately reflect the meaning of the original - for example, church, glory, holy, sacrifice, soul, etc. Seeks to be as far as possible a “literal” translation, wherever possible rendering key words uniformly (exceptions being noted in footnotes or the Explanatory Notes).” To this may be added:. the further restoration of the Semitic form of the names of the books of Scripture. The rendering of words such as Hades (a Greek term, loaded with pagan connotations, variously rendered by different translators as “pit”, “grave”, and “hell”) by their Hebrew or Aramaic equivalent instead, such as She’ol. The deletion of notes, footnotes and explanatory notes of a doctrinal nature, other than those ‘doctrinal agendas’ expressed in this Preface.

The addition of notes, footnotes, and/or explanatory notes which may be more useful to students of Scripture, in equipping them for their studies, rather than in doing studies for them. Highlighting by means of bold typeface those passages in the Second Writings (also known as Netzarim Writings, haBrit haḤadasha, New Testament, etc.), which quote allusions from the Tanaḵ (also known as the Old Testament). THE ORDER AND TITLES OF THE BOOKS In accordance with our aim to affirm the Hebraic roots of our Belief we have:. transliterated the names of the books of the Tanaḵ (Old Testament), and where appropriate have done the same in the Second Writings (Messianic Writings, New Testament). For your convenience the traditional English names of the books may be found facing the Hebraic form at the top of each page. They are also together with the transliterated forms in the Table of Contents.

Followed the traditional Hebraic order of the Tanaḵ, (Torah, Neḇi’im, Kethuḇim). The Tanaḵ ( Torah, Neḇi’im, Kethuḇim) First, The Torah - Law We have rendered it by the Hebrew word itself, Torah, i.e. The five books of Mosheh (Moses), also known as the Ḥumash, or (The Pentateuch), Law or Teaching. They consist of the following 5 books: Berĕshith (Genesis) Shemoth (Exodus) Wayyiqra (Leviticus) Bemiḏbar (Numbers) Deḇarim (Deuteronomy) Then, The Neḇi’im - Prophets These books are known as The Prophets, not because of the element of prediction (a considerable amount of their content is historical rather than predictive!), but because of being written by prophets.

They are divided into two categories, the Former Prophets, and the Latter Prophets, referring to their time of writing. The Latter Prophets were further divided into Major Prophets, and Minor Prophets (known as Shnĕm Asar, i.e. Please note that we have restored the book of Dani’ĕl to its rightful place among the Prophets., as also did Josephus. We have placed it between Yeḥezqĕl / Ezekiel (the third of the Latter Prophets), and Shnĕm Asar / The Twelve (the fourth of the Latter Prophets), instead of including it among The Kethuḇim (Writings), as is usually done.

They consist of the following 9 books, i.e.
