Please do NOT visit this site on שַׁבָּת - Shabbat or on the מוֹעֲדִים Mo’a’dim - Feasts!

Re Tanakh versions:

Throughout this site I may use any of three versions of the Tanakh: 1. “Jewish Publication Society” (JPS-1917), 2“Mechon-Mamre.org (MEC), and 3. “Sefaria.org (SEF), three brilliant versions, However, the JPS-1917 is my preferred version!

Colour coded details of our beloved TaNaKh:

1. Torah = History & Law, 2. Nevi’im = The Prophets. 3. *Ketuvim all other Writings.

*The Ketuvim - Includes, Poetical books - Psalms, Proverbs, Job, the Megillot, or Scrolls - Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations of Jeremiah, Ecclesiastes, and Esther, prophecy of Daniel, and history of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles I & II.

Please Note: Some alterations or (additions) have been made relating to ‘Names’ and ‘Attributes’ of אֱלֹהִים – Elohim (God), having been corrected like it once was pre the “Masoretic Text”.

YYYYYYY

Remember the following truth from our beloved Torah!

Ye shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH FROM IT, that ye may keep the commandments of אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - the LORD your Eloleichem, which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

However, what have both priests and rabbis of the past done, they purposely made grave and ridiculous additions and disgraceful changes!

YYYYYYY

“Psalm 23 a New Look”

All verses are from the JPS-1917 version of the Tanakh..

With Rabbi, Dr. Reuven Ben Avraham-Goossens, PhD.

In this item we are going to have a close look at Tehillim - Psalm 23. You will find that each verse will have a bold word or word’s that reveals what that verse or section actually teaches us.

Each verse is shown in Ivrit - Hebrew, followed by the English version.

מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד: יְהוָה רֹעִי, לֹא אֶחְסָר

 

1. “A Psalm of David. יְהוָה - the LORD is my shepherd - Relationship; I shall not want - Supply.

בִּנְאוֹת דֶּשֶׁא, יַרְבִּיצֵנִי; עַל-מֵי מְנֻחוֹת יְנַהֲלֵנִי

2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures - Rest; He leadeth me beside the still waters - Refreshment.

נַפְשִׁי יְשׁוֹבֵב; יַנְחֵנִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי-צֶדֶק, לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ

3. He restoreth my soul - Healing; He guideth me in straight paths - Guidence for His Name’s sake - Purpose.

 

 

גַּם כִּי-אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת, לֹא-אִירָא רָע-כִּי-אַתָּה עִמָּדִי

4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death - Testing, I will fear no evil - Protection, for Thou art with me - Faithfulness; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me - Dicipline.

 

תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי, שֻׁלְחָן-נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי
דִּשַּׁנְתָּ בַשֶּׁמֶן רֹאשִׁי, כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה

5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies - Hope; Thou hast anointed my head with oil - Consecration; my cup runneth over - Abundance.

 

אַךְ, טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְּפוּנִי-כָּל-יְמֵי חַיָּי
וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית-יְהוָה, לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִי

6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life - Blessing; and I shall dwell in the house of יְהוָה - the LORD - Security forever - Eternity.

YYYYYYY

I trust that this Psalm provides its actual meanings, etc. This is just another way of bringing such a beautiful Psalm to life!
