| בִּשְׁנַת שְׁתַּיִם לְדָרְיָוֶשׁ הַמֶּלֶךְ בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשִּׁשִּׁי בְּיוֹם אֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה בְּיַד־חַגַּי הַנָּבִיא אֶל־זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן־שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל פַּחַת יְהוּדָה וְאֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן־יְהוֹצָדָק הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל לֵאמֹֽר׃ | א | 1 | In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of Yehovah by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying: |
| כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת לֵאמֹר הָעָם הַזֶּה אָֽמְרוּ לֹא עֶת־בֹּא עֶת־בֵּית יְהוָה לְהִבָּנֽוֹת׃ פ | ב | 2 | 'Thus speaketh Yehovah of hosts, saying: This people say: The time is not come, the time that Yehovah's house should be built.' {P} |
| וַֽיְהִי דְּבַר־יְהוָה בְּיַד־חַגַּי הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹֽר׃ | ג | 3 | Then came the word of Yehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying: |
| הַעֵת לָכֶם אַתֶּם לָשֶׁבֶת בְּבָתֵּיכֶם סְפוּנִים וְהַבַּיִת הַזֶּה חָרֵֽב׃ | ד | 4 | 'Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your cieled houses, while this house lieth waste? |
| וְעַתָּה כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שִׂימוּ לְבַבְכֶם עַל־דַּרְכֵיכֶֽם׃ | ה | 5 | Now therefore thus saith Yehovah of hosts: Consider your ways. |
| זְרַעְתֶּם הַרְבֵּה וְהָבֵא מְעָט אָכוֹל וְאֵין־לְשָׂבְעָה שָׁתוֹ וְאֵין־לְשָׁכְרָה לָבוֹשׁ וְאֵין־לְחֹם לוֹ וְהַמִּשְׂתַּכֵּר מִשְׂתַּכֵּר אֶל־צְרוֹר נָקֽוּב׃ פ | ו | 6 | Ye have sown much, and brought in little, ye eat, but ye have not enough, ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink, ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages for a bag with holes. {P} |
| כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שִׂימוּ לְבַבְכֶם עַל־דַּרְכֵיכֶֽם׃ | ז | 7 | Thus saith Yehovah of hosts: Consider your ways. |
| עֲלוּ הָהָר וַהֲבֵאתֶם עֵץ וּבְנוּ הַבָּיִת וְאֶרְצֶה־בּוֹ וְאֶכָּבְדָה ואכבד אָמַר יְהוָֽה׃ | ח | 8 | Go up to the hill-country, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Yehovah. |
| פָּנֹה אֶל־הַרְבֵּה וְהִנֵּה לִמְעָט וַהֲבֵאתֶם הַבַּיִת וְנָפַחְתִּי בוֹ יַעַן מֶה נְאֻם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת יַעַן בֵּיתִי אֲשֶׁר־הוּא חָרֵב וְאַתֶּם רָצִים אִישׁ לְבֵיתֽוֹ׃ | ט | 9 | Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Yehovah of hosts. Because of My house that lieth waste, while ye run every man for his own house. |
עַל־כֵּן עֲלֵיכֶם כָּלְאוּ שָמַיִם   מִטָּל וְהָאָרֶץ כָּלְאָה יְבוּלָֽהּ׃

| וַיֹּאמֶר חַגַּי מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה בְּמַלְאֲכוּת יְהוָה לָעָם לֵאמֹר אֲנִי אִתְּכֶם נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ | יג | 13 | Then spoke Haggai Yehovah's messenger in Yehovah's message unto the people, saying: 'I am with you, saith Yehovah.' |
| וַיָּעַר יְהוָה אֶת־רוּחַ זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן־שַׁלְתִּיאֵל פַּחַת יְהוּדָה וְאֶת־רוּחַ יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן־יְהוֹצָדָק הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וְֽאֶת־רוּחַ כֹּל שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיַּעֲשׂוּ מְלָאכָה בְּבֵית־יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃ פ | יד | 14 | And Yehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of Yehovah of hosts, their God, {P} |

| אֶֽת־הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר־כָּרַתִּי אִתְּכֶם בְּצֵאתְכֶם מִמִּצְרַיִם וְרוּחִי עֹמֶדֶת בְּתוֹכְכֶם אַל־תִּירָֽאוּ׃ ס | ה | 5 | The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt have I established, and My spirit abideth among you; fear ye not. {S} |
| כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עוֹד אַחַת מְעַט הִיא וַאֲנִי מַרְעִישׁ אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ וְאֶת־הַיָּם וְאֶת־הֶחָרָבָֽה׃ | ו | 6 | For thus saith Yehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; |
| וְהִרְעַשְׁתִּי אֶת־כָּל־הַגּוֹיִם וּבָאוּ חֶמְדַּת כָּל־הַגּוֹיִם וּמִלֵּאתִי אֶת־הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה כָּבוֹד אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ | ז | 7 | and I will shake all nations, and the choicest things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yehovah of hosts. |

| כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁאַל־נָא אֶת־הַכֹּהֲנִים תּוֹרָה לֵאמֹֽר׃ | יא | 11 | 'Thus saith Yehovah of hosts: Ask now the priests for instruction, saying: |

And the priests answered and said: 'No.' |
| וַיֹּאמֶר חַגַּי אִם־יִגַּע טְמֵא־נֶפֶשׁ בְּכָל־אֵלֶּה הֲיִטְמָא וַיַּעֲנוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים וַיֹּאמְרוּ יִטְמָֽא׃ | יג | 13 | Then said Haggai: 'If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean?' And the priests answered and said: 'It shall be unclean.' |
| וַיַּעַן חַגַּי וַיֹּאמֶר כֵּן הָֽעָם־הַזֶּה וְכֵן־הַגּוֹי הַזֶּה לְפָנַי נְאֻם־יְהוָה וְכֵן כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם וַאֲשֶׁר יַקְרִיבוּ שָׁם טָמֵא הֽוּא׃ | יד | 14 | Then answered Haggai, and said: 'So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith Yehovah; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean. |
| וְעַתָּה שִֽׂימוּ־נָא לְבַבְכֶם מִן־הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וָמָעְלָה מִטֶּרֶם שֽׂוּם־אֶבֶן אֶל־אֶבֶן בְּהֵיכַל יְהוָֽה׃ | יה | 15 | And now, I pray you, consider from this day and forward--before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of Yehovah, |

| אֱמֹר אֶל־זְרֻבָּבֶל פַּֽחַת־יְהוּדָה לֵאמֹר אֲנִי מַרְעִישׁ אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | כא | 21 | 'Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: I will shake the heavens and the earth; |

QERE
—
KETIV
(What is Read —What is Written) : |
|
|
Qere and Ketiv, from the Aramaic qere or q're, קְרֵי ("[what is] read") and ketiv, or ketib, kethib, kethibh, kethiv, כְּתִיב ("[what is] written"), also known as "keri uchesiv" or "keri uchetiv," refers to a system for marking differences between what is written in the consonantal text of the Hebrew Bible, as preserved by scribal tradition, and what is read. In such situations, the Qere is the technical orthographic device used to indicate the pronunciation of the words in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew language scriptures (Tanakh), while the Ketiv indicates their written form, as inherited from tradition. SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qere_and_Ketiv |
|
Q. What is the Qere and Ketiv and how does it relate to the Masoretes? ( see: http://jbtc.org/v08/Graves2003.html ) For PDF Of Above Link Click This Line! A. Qere and Ketiv are orthographic devices that were used by the Masoretes, i.e., Jewish scribes from the 6-10th centuries. Qere means, "what is read," and ketiv means, "what is written". It is found in existing Masoretic manuscripts dating to the 9th and 10th centuries, CE. There are several forms of Qere / Ketiv, including: ordinary, vowel, omitted, added, euphemistic, split, and qere perpetuum. The ketiv that is most relevant is the vowel qere. In this case, the consonants are unchanged, but different vowel signs are added and only the qere, i.e., what is read, is vocalized. ... |

|
| I Challenge The Rabbinic QERE–KETIV System! |
| In January 2022, beginning with the "Accented" (Full Trop and Vowels), rendering I chose to repair defects in the html encodings which occurred with my mechanical conversion of the unicode multi-wide encoding from http://tanach.us. I also decided to rearrange the Qere–Ketiv "system" with what I consider was the Masoretic intent in the first place! |
| The New KETIV–qere Hebrew Rendering (ACCENTS)! | Thus, this current version uses the Ketiv, what is written, as the predominant rendering, while making the Qere, what the "rabbis" have commanded as Must Be Read instead, to be a minimalist secondary format (much as rabbis appear to have intended the Ketiv to be!). |
|
One of the reasons I decided to take on this new rendering effort is that in
my efforts to understand the nature of the rabbinic
Qere–Ketiv system
I have not truly found a satisfactory explanation of why the
"Qere" should always
take precedence over the
"Ketiv" in reading the Tanakh.
In fact, as I understand it, rabbinic "scribes", in examining the actual Aleppo and Leningrad Codices, appear to have taken upon themselves to adding the consonant only Qere in the margins upon the original manuscripts, where, in their "infinite wisdom" they have presumed themselves to be the greater authority! Moreover, as rabbinic sources seem to indicate that the "Ketiv" should never be uttered, I have found instances, such as in Exodus 21:8, where I believe the "Qere" is blatantly INCORRECT — and that the "Ketiv" should be the preferred "reading", as if the Masoretes actually knew what they were doing all along! In my own regular reading (Stone Edition Tanakh, Koren Publications Tanakh), my preference has been to read the "Ketiv" (what is written) and pretty much minimize the "Qere"! This is not easy to do because the predominant Qere is rendered as if it is the normative form, and the Ketiv follows, typically within brackets, as if it is the offensive variant (Stone Edition Tanakh)! In the Koren Publications Tanakh, the "Ketiv" is what is rendered in the margin, while the "Qere" is found in the regular text! Obviously, normal reading will typically ignore what the Masoretes wrote, the "Ketiv"! As of January, 2022, and going forward, I intend to render the rabbinic additions of Qere in their current KETIV–qere form found in the accented version. I consider this as to convey the intent of the Masoretes. However, I acknowledge that rabbis (talmudists) have expended much effort to obscure the written Torah as part of their regular practice; as they appear, to me, to view themselves collectively as אֱלֹהִ֔ים Elohim. That is, I believe that those talmudists (rabbis), consider themselves collectively to be God!!! They certainly demand that their edicts (tachanot) are followed as if they are divinely inspired law! If you find this of interest, please view the page on KETIV–QERE Variants |

Notable Modifications
To The JPS 1917 Based English Scripture In The-Iconoclast.org's Hebrew–English Tanakh: |
|
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!
|
|
In The-Iconoclast.org Modified Version Of the JPS 1917 Text,
The Verse numbering has been altered to match the corresponding verses in
the original Hebrew Scriptures
of the actual Leningrad Codex for "The Ten Commandments"
in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5!
For More Information Regarding 'The Ten Commandments', See the Page, Comparing The Ten Commandments Exodus 20 & Deuteronomy 5 In The Leningrad Codex |
|
The Name
יְהֹוָה
Yehovah
|
|
"Yehovah", The Name Of G-d In The Hebrew Scripures ('YHVH':
י
'Yud',
ה
'He',
ו
'Vav',
ה
'He', aka Tetragamaton)
Is Used Instead of "LORD" (note: ALL CAPITAL LETTERS)
As Found In The Original JPS 1917 Tanakh.
For More Information Regarding 'The Name', See the Page, The Name יְהֹוָה [Yehovah] In The Aleppo And Leningrad Codices. In Converting "LORD" to "Yehovah", I Counted A Total Of 5,553 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh! |
|
הָאָדֹ֥ן ׀ יְהוָֽה
ha Adon Yehovah
|
| The Hebrew Phrase הָאָדֹ֥ן ׀ יְהוָֽה Occurs In Only Two Places, In Exodus 23:17 and 34:23. In Those Cases, I Have Changed The Translation Wording From "Lord GOD" To "Lord GOD [ha Adon Yehovah]". |
|
אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִֽה
Adonai Yehovi
|
|
Typically Translated As "Lord GOD", It Is A Much Less Common Form Of The Divine Name,
יְהֹוָה
[Yehovah].
This Form אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִֽה Is, Nevertheless, Quite Important In Understanding Pronounciation For The Divine Name, Especially Since The Hebrew Form For It Has NOT Undergone The Intense Scrutiny Of rabbinic Censorship As Has "Yehovah". Accordingly, The Hebrew Text For This Form Of 'The Name' Typically HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED In Jewish Publications That Actually Keep The Vowel Pointers From The Masoretic Text! In Converting "Lord GOD" to "Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovi]", I Counted A Total Of 284 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh. Of All Of Its Occurrences, The Fully Voweled Form Of The Hebrew אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהֹוִֽה Appears 31 Times, And The Non–Fully Voweled Form אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה (The Same Hebrew Letters, Minus Just The One 'Oh' Sounding Character, "The Holem", Which Follows The First 'He' In ( י 'Yud', ה 'He', ו 'Vav', ה 'He' ), Make Up All Other Occurrences. |
|
תורה
Torah
|
|
The Word "Law" (Capital and lower case), As Found In The JPS 1917,
Has Been Changed To "Torah" Where The Base Hebrew Letters
תורה
Correspond To The Matching Verse In The Leningrad Codex (Masoretic Text)!
In Converting "Law" to "Torah", I Counted A Total Of 223 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh! |
|
Yerushalam, Yerush'lem and Yerushalayim
|
|
יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם
"Yerushalam"
|
| The Word "Jerusalem" (the name of capital city in ancient Israel), As Found In The JPS 1917, Has Been Changed To Its Transliterated Equivalent, "Yerushalam" (note the 'am' ending), In All Places Where It Corresponds To [ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם ] In The Hebrew Text. |
|
יְרוּשְׁלֶֽם
"Yerush'lem"
|
| A Rare, Second Transliterated Form, "Yerush'lem" (note the 'em' ending), Has Been Changed From "Jerusalem" Where The Hebrew Letters Spell Out The Aramaic Form [ יְרוּשְׁלֶֽם ] Found In Aramaic Parts Of Daniel And Ezra. |
|
ירוּשָׁלַ֙יִם֙
"Yerushalayim"
|
|
The Extremely Rare, Third Transliterated Form, "Yerushalayim"
(note the 'ayim' ending), Has Been Changed From The JPS 1917 "Jerusalem"
To Correspond To The Hebrew [
ירוּשָׁלַ֙יִם֙
]. Noteworthy Is That This Rarest Form Appears In Only Four (4) Places In The Entire Hebrew Scriptures, Yet, It Is The Most Common Pronunciation For The Name Of The Ancient City! Its Four (Out Of Over 600) Appearances Are: 1) Jeremiah 26:18, 2) Esther 2:6, 3) I Chronicles 3:5, and 4) II Chronicles 25:1. In Converting "Jerusalem" To Its Transliterated Equivalents, I Counted A Total Of 625 Occurrences In The JPS 1917 Tanakh! |
