[This is a work in progress; it simply features the text from the translation of our choice, Everett Fox’s THE FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES, a must-read/must-own biblical resource. As we keep repeating, the reason it is our choice is because unlike Hebrew translations which do not print ‘the Name YHWH’ and substitute “LORD” or “HASHEM”, Everett Fox has no qualms using the sacred Name YHWH where it appears in the original. For this, we are thankful to him and feature his work, urging others to get your personal copy of his translation.—Admin1]
