Just be aware that you will be printing the name of God on paper. This really shouldn't be done. Anything that has the name of God (יהו&#1492 printed on it is supposed to be treated as special. It should not be thrown away, trodden on, disregarded, tossed around, torn up, shredded, etc. It should be treated as Scripture (and that's actually what it is). It is forbidden to destroy or erase the name of God.

There is a song in swedish which reads; "Above the clouds the sky is always blue!

Doesn't it says addonnay?

יהוה is not the word "adonai." It is the name of God. The word "adonai" is אֲדֹנָי.

I know that, but doesn't hebrew bibles use the word adonai instead of Gods Name!?

Psalms is a terrible place to begin....

 

[Lillen]

Psalm 23 and Psalm 119 is my first goal. All i will do is try to memorize them, i am not researching grammar or anything, just try to memorize them in hebrew. It should be just a simple as any other book. no?

And also, I will save these threads on my computer, i hope you don't mind!!?

Since I am christian, Parhaps my wish or goal should be to memorize the new testament instead of the torah. But I don't have a good christian translation of bible yet. The bibles i had was heathen or apostets versions. I usually compare five verses from the new testament that needs to fulfill my standards of translation. For instance, and even though I do not wish to start a discussion here (I want to stay away from meaningeless disputs). Compare these verses from the same chapter and verse in apostolic vs apostetes bibles - "Having in his flesh abolished the enmity, the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, as it is written, cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" (this is the apostolic verse), compare with the apostates version "Having in his flesh abolished the enmity the law of ordinances that stood in our way". The first verse is christian, while the second is a pervertion making christians confused. Nevertheless, because of the circumstances I am in (i am outside the camp because of uncleanness or parhaps because the curse of the law, cut off from among my people) I only find heathen versions of the bible. This is one reason why I mostly read the psalms these day, because it is not perverted in heathen bibles - it is the same. I am not prozelyting here, I merely explain why psalms is attractive to me and why I mostly read the psalms today. It will lead me back from being mislead!

By the way, anyone have a link to the new testament in hebrew!?

(1) Psalms is not part of the Torah, so you will not be memorizing the Torah by doing anything in the Psalms.

(2) The Hebrew New Testament from the United Bible Socieites is found online here.

(3) If you would work through a narrative section of the Scriptures (such as Genesis 37 – the beginning of the Joseph story), it will give you a better feeling of what normative biblical Hebrew is like. Psalms doesn't have narrative flow, so the use of verbs is haphazard with tense. Because of its poetic nature, prepositions and את are used sporadically. It's not a good place to start. I would recommend against it. There are, of course, some narrative sections that are nearly as bad with the use of prepositions (such as 2 Kings 22, where they consistently use את for אל and have other preposition confusion), but Psalms is notorious for leaving prepositions off completely.

I knew that!

What do you mean by narrative... My english isn't perfect, can you clarify the words meaning! ?

 

[Lillen]

i can also recommend for mac-users the freeware "macsword". you can have for the Tanakh a parallel translation of hebrew and any other language you like. its really helpful.
