Translations at Yeshua's House

Legacy Standard Bible

OUR MAIN GATHERING BIBLE
The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. And because none of us are fluent in those languages, we need a translation. While no translation is perfect, some are certainly better than others. At Yeshua's House the Legacy Standard Bible is our go-to "readable translation." It's not too much, and it's not too little. It's a relatively faithful word-for-word translation. What's more, it reintroduces Yahweh (YHWH) and Yah back into the text, thus familiarizing the reader, once again, with the Name of God. It was always there, in the original languages, but history stole that from us. Gratefully, the LSB translators put it back.

The Scriptures

The Scriptures are what we use for Bible study. It's mostly in English, but introduces the reader to the Hebrew language. For some, this can be overwhelming. But if you have the mind for it, it's a nice introduction, allowing the reader to passively become accustomed to the Bible Jesus and His followers would have read (sans the New Testament, of course). In the Scriptures, Moses becomes Moshe. David become Dawid. Egypt becomes Mitsrayim. It's not trying to be confusing. Quiet the opposite. It's goal is to help you make biblical connections. The more we understand the Hebrew language, the better interpreters we'll be of Scripture.
