The Scriptures

This is a literal translation of the Bible in English. This translation differs significantly from most common English translations in that it has restored the original book order of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Tanakh, and restored the Name of the Most High, (יהוה) throughout.

We are exploring this edition of the Bible on Oldwayon, because it's one of the oldest ways in which the Word is organized and written.

The Scriptures

If you would like a physical or digital copy of this Bible, you can get them from here:

https://isr-messianic.org/publications/the-scriptures.html

One of the most basic free versions on the interwebz, where you can follow along and read without paying anything is here:
