Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genesis a Translated From the Old English The purpose of the translator in offering to the public this version of the Genesis is to aid in forwarding - be it by but one jot or tittle - the general knowledge and appreciation of Old English literature. Professed students in this department will always have an incentive to master the language; but to the public at large the strangeness of this medium will prove an insurmountable barrier, and the general reader must therefore either remain in ignorance of our older literary monuments or else employ translations. The present contribution to the growing body of such translations possesses, perhaps, more than a single interest or appeal, in that it renders accessible not only a poem of considerable intrinsic worth, a poem associated with the earliest of the great names in English literary history, and a forerunner and possible source of Paradise Lost, but also an important example of a literary genre once immensely popular, though now quite fallen into abeyance - namely, the lengthy versified Scriptural paraphrase. For some idea of the prominent part played by this form, even so late as the seventeenth century, the reader is referred to any comprehensive manual of English literature. In this translation, prose has been employed instead of verse, for two reasons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Book of Genesis Classic Reprint written by Bureau of Jewish Education and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Genesis It is a common and lamented fact that most Jewish children in America are not taught to read the Bible with appreciation and pleasure. Conditions in this country are such that very few children ever become proficient enough in Hebrew for an understanding of the Bible in the original, and thus far, very little has been done to teach the Bible text in English. The Bible stories taught in Jewish Sun day Schools and homes cannot take the place of the Bible text. As stories, the Bible narratives have to compete with fairy tales, with Wild West thrillers, with tales of general history and adventure, and with the whole host of attractive stories ofiered to the modern Jewish child; and frequently the Bible narratives lose_in the competition. Only through the text itself can children'get a glimpse into the over powering genuineness, the enduring beauty of style, the primal simplicity of emphasis, the terse vigor, which make the Bible 3 supremely great literature. The American Jew who has not been taught the Bible text in childhood can rarely train himself to read the Bible in later life, because, even in its English translation, he finds the text strange, the diction quaint and unfamiliar, the phrase ology monotonous and the contents confusing. Clearly, if the Bible is to have real meaning to American Jews, it must be taught in childhood as text, if not in the original Hebrew, at least in the American Jewish translation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Genesis: A Translation From the Hebrew in Which the Constituent Elements of the d104 Are Separated, to Which Is Added an Attempted Restoration of the Original Documents Used by the Latest Reviser In the year 1758 Jean Astra c, a celebrated physician, published a work called ' Conjectures sur lea mfimoiree originaux qui ont servi & Moise poor scrire la Gendse.' Leclerc ('Dies. III. de Scriptore Pentafceuchi') and R. Simon ('Hist, critique do Vieux Testament, ' livr. i. ch. 7) had previously pointed out the existence of two distinct documents in Genesis. M. Lenormant observes that while every verse of the Pentateuch has been discussed minntely and word by word with the view of determining its origin, the details of this necessary labour have become so complicated that only a professional critic can obtain a general view of its results. This induced him to undertake the present work, in order that the conclusions of the specialists might become more generally known, and, if his lamented death had not interrupted the project, he intended to analyse the other books of the Pentateuch in the same manner. He says: - 'Many attempts have been made to invalidate the conclusions of criticism, but, to select a few instances, no one has ever been able to explain how it is that man and animals are created by Yahveh in chap. ii. after having been created by Elohim in chap. i.; how it is that the name of Yahveh is said in Gen. iv. 26 to have been known to men ever since a period before the Deluge, when in Ex. vi. 3 it is said to have been unknown to the patriarchs; how it is that in Gen. vi. 5 it is Yahveh, and in verse 12 it is Elohim who sees that the world is oorrapt; and, lastly, how it is that while in Gen. vi. 18 Elohim orders Noah to make the ark, it is Yahveh in chap. vii.

Download or read book Genesis Vol 1 of 2 written by August Dillmann and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genesis, Vol. 1 of 2: Critically and Exegetically Expounded The name of August Dillmann (1823-1894)and the value of his work have long been familiar to English students of Old Testament Literature. A translator of his Commentary on Genesis has therefore only to speak of the editions of the original, and of any features of the translation which require remark. The edition (1892) from which the present translation is made is generally quoted as the sixth. It is, however, only the fourth from Dillmann's own hand. His first edition was a revision of a commentary by August Knobel, which had already passed through two editions. What still remains of this original is indicated in the text by quotation marks, with or without mention of Knobel's name. The present translation is in two volumes, for the whole of which the writer of the Preface is finally responsible; but the general form of the first volume and nearly all the additional matter in it (in square brackets) is due to another hand.

Book excerpt: The first book of the Bible presented in an authentic translation that allows the English reader to "peer through" to the Hebrew and "come as close as we will probably ever come to the original text." This translation allows readers to experience the original Hebrew and the rich resonance of alliteration, pun, word play, and idiom that are so essential to the meaning of the Bible itself. These elements of the text are more than merely stylistic; they allow the reader to understand the echoes and meaning of the text in a way never before available. Beyond the content, the flow and verbal rhythm of the original Hebrew is conveyed, not through English style but through a reflection of its basic structure.

Beyond the content, the flow and verbal rhythm of the original Hebrew is conveyed, not through English style but through a reflection of its basic structure. Countless readers pour over concordances to try to find the exact meaning of the original Bible. Interlinear translations try to convey the exact meaning of the text, but their unintelligible syntax make them impossible to read. TEB combines the power of a readable translation, with the precision of a concordance or interlinear translation. Most modern translations routinely use a wide range of traditional theological terms. Words such as: atonement, covenant, soul, angel, hell, redemption and salvation, are familiar to traditional ears but misleading and ineffective in conveying the original Hebrew or Greek concepts. This new translation reveals the original or "plain" meaning of the original languages allowing readers to reexamine inherited interpretations of key stories and concepts in the Bible. For example, the notion that women were given "pain" in childbirth as a punishment for Eve's transgression disappears in the original Hebrew text. The Hebrew word used is precisely the same as the "hardship" that men are allotted in working the soil of the earth, as explained below .
