I've never heard of it before. If all they did is add the proper names in then it is a step in the right direction, having not read it, I can't comment on the quality of the translation.

Thanks for the info and the examples Rides with Yah. I'm not looking for perfect, I can't afford the logos software and I'm looking for something a little more than the DSS bible and it looks like a step in the right direction. I'm going to order one.
I saw that they are going to be doing it in an audio version.

Sometimes there are subtleties that aren't obvious, when the same English word is used for several different Hebrew words.
(I kind of like knowing when the original text used the singular 'El vs the plural Elohim.)

Also, there are times in some translations that the same Hebrew or Greek words are translated into different English words, so we lose some of the connections.

Until I learn Hebrew and Greek, I'm enjoying this as a nice middle ground. You may not, but just because they make both chocolate and vanilla, and you like vanilla, doesn't mean that chocolate is "silly". It's certainly an improvement over LORD!

Shalom.

I'm with you on this RWY
I also think people are using El and Elohim and others like them are to get away from the christianized concepts / perceptions and and hold to the Scriptural meanings those words were meant to convey.
God can be sooo generic, but it's clear when using Elohim (better translated in English as Mighty One/s) - It's a more set-apart term.

I happen to have several copies of HalleluYah Scriptures. As far as I know, it is the ONLY version of the restored name scriptures that does not have added commentaries and is not for sale. To me, that is more important than arguing over the terms "el" and "elohim" or other variations of this spelling. It means might one, and it is certainly better than saying "god" as scriptures clearly say not to let the names of other elohim be heard coming out of your mouth and "god" was the name of a pagan deity. Not to mention, it is associated with a religion that destroys the laws/ways of Yah.

I love the way the HalleluYah Scriptures reads, and though it may take some time to get used to the order of books and Hebrew words, the fact remains it is the ONLY FREE restored name version of scriptures available and the word should not be sold. Can anyone really see our savior, Yahushua, selling copies of the word? How about the talmidim (disciples) or as I like to say "students or followers" which is all it means, would they have sold even one copy of the word? So how is it right? If Abba Yah wants anyone to reproduce a version of scriptures and gives them a vision to do so, do you not believe He will provide a way? All who sell the scriptures, and all who add their own twists and footnotes telling others how to interpret the word, they will all receive the rewards coming to them if they don't repent for this wicked deed. That is my stance. Shalom.

ISR 1998 & 2007
2Sa 7:12 “When your days are filled and you rest with your fathers, I shall raise up your seed after you, who comes from your inward parts, and shall establish his reign.
2Sa 7:13 “He does build a house for My Name, and I shall establish the throne of his reign forever.
2Sa 7:14 “I am to be his Father, and he is My son. If he does perversely, I shall reprove him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.
2Sa 7:15 “But My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Sha’ul, whom I removed from before you.

Versus:

Therefore, beginning with the twelfth verse, the passage, whereby Yahowah is speaking to Dowd, actually reads: “I will take a stand, establish, and raise up (quwm – I, Myself, will completely confirm, fulfill, accomplish what needs to be done, and restore (hiphil perfect)) in association with (‘eth) your seed (zera’ – your descendant (singular)) in your distant future (‘achar), by way of the relationship and as a fortuitous blessing (‘asher / ‘esher – providing favor through an association), He who shall actually come forth to serve (yasa’ – a diminished extension who shall really descend and be set apart and sent forth to deliver ongoing results (qal imperfect)) from (min) a tiny seed of your body (ma’ah – your internal organs). And (wa) I will completely establish (kuwn – I Myself will finish everything required to form, fashion, and prepare (hiphil perfect)) His realm and sovereign authority (mamlakah – kingdom, royal lineage, power, and reign).” (2 Shamuw’el / Samuel 7:12)

“He (huw’) Himself shall build (banah – establish, restore, and cause to prosper (qal imperfect)) the family and home (beyth – house and household) in association with (la – for) My personal name (shem – My proper designation and renown). And (wa) I will establish (kuwn – I will form, fashion, prepare, and firmly establish (polel perfect)) accordingly (‘eth), the throne of (kise’ – authority and reign of) His realm and sovereign authority (mamlakah – kingdom, royal lineage, power, and reign) forever (‘ad – eternally, for an unlimited and unending duration of time) making it everlasting and enduring (‘owlam – eternal and permanent).” (2 Shamuw’el / Samuel 7:13)

“I (‘any) Myself actually am and shall continue to be (hayah – I shall always and genuinely exist (qal imperfect)) on behalf of and with respect to Him (la la – concerning Him) a Father (‘ab – masculine singular absolute), and (wa) He (huw’), Himself actually is and shall continue to be (hayah – He will always and genuinely exist (qal imperfect)) on My behalf (la la – for and concerning Me) a Son (ben – masculine singular absolute). Twisted distortions of the truth, which are not His responsibility, will be associated with Him (‘asher ba-‘awah – literally: relationally because with Him the perversity of twisting, bending, distorting, corrupting, and perverting the truth will be associated with, but not perpetrated by, Him (hiphil infinitive construct)), and (wa) by making this connection I will bring and finish My legal case through the act of judging Him (yakah – and I will completely accomplish what is required to be just by punishing Him thereby completely vindicating through Him (hiphil perfect)) with (ba) the bludgeoning and piercing (shebet – the club, whip, baton, rod, spear, and chastisement) of individuals (‘iysh), and with (wa ba) the blows, strikes, wounds, and physical trauma of (nega’ – the plague and pestilence, the infection and disease, the deadly pandemic, stumbling, and falling of) the sons of (beny) ‘Adam (‘adam – mankind).” (2 Shamuw’el / Samuel 7:14)

“But (wa) My loyal love, unfailing devotion, and mercy, even My glory and appearance (chesed – My revelation of Myself as being inclined to favor, compassion, affection, kindness, and goodness, but also My manifestation of majesty, brilliance, and splendor) will not (lo’) be withdrawn from Him (suwr min – be removed from Him).” (2 Shamuw’el / Samuel 7:15)

HalleluYah Scriptures is very similar to the 1993 version of scriptures, except the paleo Hebrew names are where the modern hebrew names were because that is how it was done in the dead sea scrolls and how the HS team was inspired to do this. I encourage everyone to visit their site, and watch the videos. Shalom.

Thanks for the info ^^"
