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).

Sunday: Psalm 24, Monday: Psalm 48, Tuesday: Psalm 82, Wednesday: Psalm 94, Thursday: Psalm 81, Friday: Psalm 93, Shabbat/Saturday: Psalm 92.
Please Note: Each Psalm is located on a separate page, having the actual JPS-1917 version Psalm of the day, followed by my commentary!
YYYYYYY
Sunday: Psalm 24.
1. “A
Psalm of David.
The earth is יְהוָה
- the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that
dwell therein. 2. For He hath founded it upon the
seas, and established it upon the floods. 3. Who
shall ascend into the mountain of יְהוָה
- the LORD? and who shall stand in His holy place? 4. He
that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My
name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully. 5. He
shall receive a blessing from יְהוָה
- the LORD, and
righteousness from the אֱלֹהִים - Elohim of His
Salvation. 6. Such is the generation of them that
seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. Selah. 7. Lift
up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the
King of glory may come in. 8. Who is the King of
glory?
יְהוָה
- the LORD strong and
mighty, יְהוָה
- the LORD mighty in
battle. 9. Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift
them up, ye everlasting doors’; 10. Who then is the
King of glory?’ צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהִים
- the LORD of Tzva’ot (hosts);
He is the King of glory”. Selah.
YYYYYYY
There is no
doubt that Psalm 24 is a majestic hymn celebrating אֱלֹהִים -
Elohim as Creator of the
universe, Sovereign of the
Universal Creation and Moral
Entry (Verses 1-6):
Divine
Ownership (vv. 1-2): Asserts that the earth, its contents, and humanity
belong to אֱלֹהִים - Elohim because He established the solid
world upon the primal chaos of waters and floods.
The Holy Ascent (v.
3): Poses the central covenant question: who is worthy to scale the mountain
of יְהוָה - the LORD and stand in
His sacred space?
Ethical Purity (v. 4): Defines worthiness through outward
actions (“clean hands”), inner sincerity (“pure heart”), truthfulness, and
integrity in oaths rather than empty rituals.
The Seeker’s Reward
(vv. 5-6): Promises Divine blessing and righteousness to those who genuinely seek the
presence and face of the אֱלֹהִים -
Elohim of Jacob.
The King
of Glory Arrives (Verses 7-10):
Lifting the Gates (vv. 7
& 9): A dramatic,
personified command addressed to the ancient temple gates to raise their
lintels so the majestic King can enter.
The Warrior and Host (vv. 8 & 10): The dialogue identifies the King
of Glory twice: first as יְהוָה - the LORD
strong, mighty, and victorious in battle, and second as צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהִים - the LORD of Tzva’ot
(hosts), the ultimate supreme ruler!

This site was originally created, for those
who desired to return to our blessed and wonderful faith. Thus be wise and work
on your faith and pray at least two or three times a day (if possible) and
always seek our beloved אֱלֹהִים - Elohim’s guidance,
for His love is always with us, especially when we seek Him, blessed be He!
However this site has become very much a teaching site with hundreds of
studies!
Remember what אֱלֹהִים -
Elohim, blessed be He, said the following through a number of our
prophets...
“Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith צְבָאוֹת- יְהוָה- the LORD of hosts” Mal’a’chi - Malachi 3:7. (JPS).
YYYYYYY
“Hebraic Studies” motto is as follows;
“The More Torah, the More Life”,
For Elohim is the One who
gave us our ... “Life!”
May the שָׁלוֹם - Shalom = Peace
of צְבָאוֹת- יְהוָה= the LORD of hosts, be with
you, and please always uphold our blessed שַׁבָּת - Shabbat, as well as
the מוֹעֲדִים - Mo’a’dim - Feasts, and continue saying your
daily תְּפִלָּה - Tefeelah’s - Prayers and
regular בְּרָכָה - Be’ra’chah’s - blessings before food
and drinks, etc!
שָׁלוֹם
עֲלֵיכֶם - Shalom Aleichem
