תְּשׁוּבָה - Teshuvah

Part Two..

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

“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 God) which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS).

“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the Word of our אֱלֹהִים (Elohim) shall stand FOREVER”. Yeshayahu - Isaiah 40:8. (JPS).

Introduction of Teshuvah - Page Two:

You will locate below that I have provided a comprehensive side-by-side look at many verses in which the un-pointed string תשובה – Teshuvah appears in the 1917 JPS Masoretic Hebrew text. In addition I have paired it all with the JPS 1917 ‘English clause’ that renders that root. Each Hebrew cell shows the immediate clause containing תְּשׁוּבָה; each English cell will show the corresponding JPS phrase.

Due to space I have reduced Verse details, but full verses are shown below the side-by-site section:

I pray that you will find that this comprehensive study will richly bless you and strengthen your Faith!

In Conclusion, a Question to Deepen the Conversation:

Which part of this rather special study or it could possibly been a particular line that has touched you the most? And how do you feel about spending more time studying our beloved Tanakh and being a regular at Shul on Shabbat and the Yom Tovim. I pray that you are doing well being a Hebrew, and אֱלֹהִים - Elohim willing you are upholding as many of our blessed Mitzvoth’s?

I am well aware that the modern world sadly contains far too many deviations as well as problems that seem to get in the way with our lifestyle. Yet worse than that, these days there are far too many enticements, and sadly many of them can so easily throw many off track. Thus, if there are any struggles that may be taking place in your life, be it at this, or at any time, I am well aware that sadly it can often have a cruel effect upon your life? Remember this, pray for Shalom, Peace to enter your precious life, and then work on keeping as calm as possible and learn to improve your life, for אֱלֹהִים (God) is always there and ready to help and guide you! This site is also for those who need to return to our blessed and wonderful faith, thus work on your faith and pray and always seek אֱלֹהִים - Elohim’s blessed guidance!

And remember what אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, blessed be He, said the following to 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. MEC).

And Remember ...

Enjoy your Sabbath Rest, Shabbat Shalom!

אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם, בְּחֻקּוֹתַי לֵכוּ; וְאֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי שִׁמְרוּ, וַעֲשׂוּ אוֹתָם

וְאֶת-שַׁבְּתוֹתַי, קַדֵּשׁוּ; וְהָיוּ לְאוֹת, בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם-לָדַעַת, כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם

“I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה (the LORD your Elohim); walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them; and hallow My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - YaHVaH Elohim”. Yechezkel - Ezekiel 20:19-20. (JPS).

“Hebraic Studies” motto is as follows;

“The More Torah, the More Life”,

For our 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 - Te’fee’lah’s (Prayers) and regular בְּרָכָה - Be’ra’chah (blessings) before food and drinks, etc!
