(Wow, I could'Ve HAD nv8!)
This bloviate centers around a couple of Email exchanges that began with an utterly and ridiculously absurd statement glaring at me from the subject line. I never have had much patience for inanities, especially those meaningless or banal platitudes uttered with an air of superiority and passionate profundity and the subject line of this tripe filled emailing struck me immediately with it's utter uselessness. Exactly, I mean what exactly does LOOK WITH LOVE NOT FOR LOVE mean? A sad attempt at 'Deep callething unto Deep' (see: "They Call Me rabbonnie") running along the lines of such dragging the vague and hazy depths of thought dribble as: "dancing gives me happy feet", the insensible "my bad" or the (sorrowfully) ever popular "Yo, Adrian".
The only editing from the originals that I did was font size and my added notes. I also replaced some '@' symbols with '*?*' to frustrate spider-robots. The font sizes in an email differ from those on a web site's code and do not "cut and paste" directly. First the entire Emails then the line-item dissection. Enjoy...

I have been observing many versions of translations of the original scriptures that are surfacing in these times of modern communication and networking. Sadly like the multitude of false denominations who claim to be the true faith, they all profess different versions from each other and then claim ownership of of the WORD of YAHUWAH through man made laws.
When you assume ownership of your version under the manmade laws of copyright and then you say between you and YAHUWAH and the intended reader(me). I am being tested by your use of the word copyright and then claiming your version is simply “A” and not “THE” one true version which is to be freely given without consent. DID you just revise or restore the names? And did you apply the proper context of the original writing?

My Response
#– My added notes are in the high-lighted areas.
His Name Tanakh is a Tanakh (HaTowrah-the Law, Nevi'iym-the prophets and Ketuviym-the writings) version that is slowly progressing from the bastardized (and badly rewritten) modern english to a version more in line with יהוה. יהוה's His Name Tanakh© is a free download;
This is not the point at which I decided he was an idiot even though he is mistaken (at best) here, although the cut and paste address picture, colored mixed-size fonts and mixed capitalization were a clue. Well, given the present state of the American educational system and society's disposition toward adding two separate points to make an unrelated conclusion I can see where he went wrong. At the risk of dating myself, I call it the McCartney Syndrome.
When Sir Paul McCartney (of The Beatles and Wings fame) married his first wife, Linda Eastman, an entirely inaccurate anecdote spread like wild-fire freely through the public domain. It seems she was an heiress to the Kodak-Eastman Camera Company. Or was she? Well, in a word– no. No, she was not an heiress to K-E. Her father was a lawyer with no ties whatsoever to K-E. Merely by hearing the two unrelated names Linda Eastman and Kodak-Eastman many people put 2 + 2 together and came up with 12. This is what this current incarnation of a self-styled prophet managed to do with the words 'public' and 'domain':
The term FREE implies public domain. Despite your desire to control that which you consider free to the public.
No, actually it does not. This would be a shock to Mike Myers (creator of eSword program) as well as Josef Planeta the creator of the very fine Davar3 program. I am not going to take the time to go into the difference between a "Common Law" copyright and the more known and used "man's copyright"– There isn't room here, but the definition of copyright:
From: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/whatis.htm
"Copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of “original works of authorship” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works, both published and unpublished. The 1976 Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work, to perform the copyrighted work publicly, or to display the copyrighted work publicly. [also]
The copyright protects the form of expression rather than the subject matter of the writing. For example, a description of a machine could be copyrighted, but this would only prevent others from copying the description; it would not prevent others from writing a description of their own or from making and using the machine."
-or- it protects my expression of יהוה's subject. Doh!

Those two copyright statements pretty much speak for themselves, but pay close attention to eSword's #4 and #5.. Both programs are free and both are copyrighted. Both program creators seek donations, which I do not have a problem with. Why not? Both of them made a program by which many different study sources are presented in one 'window'. The programming effort involved is unquestionably over my head. I do not know how to write computer code. I only offer a PDF version and I did not even invent the PDF form (which is free by the way and also contains "conditions")!
Hear O Yisra'el© has absolutely no regard for those who would profit from יהוה 's words, teachings or praise.
If you choose to violate the above admonishments "...only let Yahuah judge between us!"
YAHUWAH IS SALVATION therefore I gain/profit and benefit from HIS WORDS TEACHINGS AND RUACH ALLELU YAHUWAH DO YOU ACCUSE ME OF BEING SELFISH in this way? Or is your concern a matter of material gain since you have no regard for those who would profit from truth and then giving it freely to those who desire it.
Now this is the first point at which I concluded I had a definite idiot on the line, since I do not actually recall accusing him of anything. If I recall correctly (and I do) I was minding my own business and received his rather specious email in my 'inbox'. After reading his droll email however, I will take the time to accuse him of being singularly lacking in grammar ability including (but not limited to)– sentence structure or syntax, punctuation and the ability to form lucid linear thoughts. An obvious 'gradeate of the publik skool sistem' [sic] he apparently has a reading comprehension problem combined with a serious god-prophet complex. Can anyone with any amount of sense really believe I meant learning in the following: "Hear O Yisra'el© has absolutely no regard for those who would profit from יהוה 's words, teachings or praise." and not unrighteous financial gain and self-aggrandizement? I mean really? Have I been found out? Has the light of the prophets-mouth exposed me in that I have no regard for scholarship or wisdom? Nowhere on this web-site do I state I have no regard for learning, but maybe I should start fund-raising to protect my mottled reputation.
He uses two lines from two separate places out of context, as if I wouldn't notice! I can not fathom writing to someone (a stranger no less) at 3 a.m to cut and paste in pretty pastels and pictures and lying to him about his own writing and deliberately taking that man's words out of context to make it appear the man is saying something other than what he actually said. First I make it clear that I have no regard for profiteering (ok, maybe not clear enough for prophets although I listed two verses: Dabariym [deuteronomy] 16:17 and Qoheleth (eccles.) 11:1 and 2, that should have been tiny clues) then I give 'admonitions' for what I expect if you volunteer to accept my offer of the free download and then I state I expect Yahh to judge between us. That is: If you steal my efforts! He actually cut and pasted from two different places to accuse me through a series of thinly veiled 'questions' of "concern a matter of material" profit for something I am giving away. Got that? Something I am giving away!
Idiot part two: "giving it freely to those who desire it" I am giving it away! Duh, duh, duh! Or maybe he meant himself here…well, I don't remember telling him not to give any of his work away, either. Oh! He DID mean my work.
the only reward I seek is in fellowship with YAHUWAH in eternity. I HAVE GREAT REGARD FOR ALL those who are created equal and fall short of HIS GRACE. Thus we may fall and be raised fully and be made complete.
Well, isn't he proud of himself, to think that by virtue of his not staying up until 3 a.m. to cut and paste email-address pictures along with 'purty' colored fonts I might have missed that! So, am I...uh...to "HAVE GREAT REGARD" for him for wanting to give away my 100's of hours of effort while repenting of my horrid crime of...uh...uh...giving away my 100's of hours of effort? Ok, help me here– Why not just send them to the download page? Oh I see now, his problem isn't the "freebie"; he just had to find an excuse to tell me how full of...uh...REGARD he is. Well, thanks for the braggadocios jactitatous...

YAHUWAH
ELOAH YAHm
Hear O Yisra'el, ???? our Mighty One is united/first as ????! - Mishneh Towrah 6:4 (Deut. 6:4).
This is the second "idiot clue"– to be fair he might have intended to cut and paste the Yhuh (in the Hebrew) where the question marks are and they failed to show up in my Thunderbird Email Browser, but as to the rest I am not at all sure of his point in the above. Is he correcting my spelling with the YAHUWAH? Yahuwah or Yahuah are both technically correct transliterations but the 'u' by itself merely comes to an 'oo' sound, while the 'uw' adds to the pronunciation a slight guttural sound which doesn't work for the average reader unless they actually study the 'Ibriy (Hebrew) forms. However he is technically incorrect in both the English and the 'Ibriy, as 'Ibriy does not denote a difference between capitals or lower case letters and English only capitalizes the first letter of a sentence, the first letter of most words in a title or personal pronouns. Capitalizing every letter of a name is incorrect English despite a desire to 'pore holiness' [sic].
I have noticed that most wannabe-prophet types seem to think they exude more devoutness if they use ALL CAPITALS or mixYAH theirYAH wordsYAH with a YAH prefix, suffix or even a YAH stuck smack-dab into the middle somewhere. Go figure. ELOAH YAHm? Again with the mixing business. I could find no such word in 'Ibriy, and certainly not in Dabariym [deuteronomy] 6:4. After consulting several concordances, dictionaries and even the English JPS Tanakh, which resembles the KJV with 'Ibriy attached to the side, I just could not find it anywhere; I defy you to find it. If you do, please let me know, I'll be glad to make a retraction. I have also noticed that most wannabe-prophet types seem to think they exude more religiousness if they they invent new words with YAH attached. The word used in Dabariym [deuteronomy] 6:4 is:
שמע ישראל יהוה
אלהינו יהוה אחד
אלהינו meaning 'our Mighty One' which is directly 'our 'Elohiym' if one uses the title in the English sentence as I do. The 'nu' or נו is the equivalent of the word 'our'. I have seen it transliterated as both 'Elohiym and 'Elohe (I spell it 'Elohiy) and either is correct when used to denote His title in English. 'Elohiym is Hebrew and 'Elohe (I spell it 'Elohiy) is aramaic and I would tend to specifically use 'Elohiym from/in the later prophets books. When I began this web site roughly three years ago I generally used the longer 'elohiym from all passages in the Tanakh and have not gotten around to changing it, since it is not particularly necessary; however the Towrah is specific in it's 'Ibriy (Hebrew) usage. Maybe I better change it, thus I may be raised away from nit-picking emails. Strong's H433 has אלוה ['elowahh] (but not in Dabariyn 6:4) which, I think, is what he alludes to, however Yahh's name is not in that word DISpite the similar 'letter' usage anymore than bow (a hair ribbon) is related to picture show (a movie) and even less so in the short form אלה. Most Interlinear Bibles show the literal translation as 'elohim-of· us'. ELOAH YAHm? Not hardly.
I have been observing many versions of translations of the original scriptures that are surfacing in these times of modern communication and networking.
Here is a suggestion: Try reading one of them!
Sadly like the multitude of false denominations who claim to be the true faith, they all profess different versions from each other and then claim ownership of of the WORD of YAHUWAH through man made laws.
I can't speak for other "denominations who claim to be the true faith", since I am not a denomination, group, organization, etc, etc, (all of which I make clear in the readfirst file as well as on the download page) nor have I claimed "ownership of of the WORD of YAHUWAH".
When you assume ownership of your version under the manmade man-made (but don't feel too bad- even Microsoft© got it wrong.) laws of copyright and then you say between you and YAHUWAH and the intended reader(me). I am being tested by your use of the word copyright and then claiming your version is simply “A” and not “THE” one true version which is to be freely given without consent.
I hate to toss a wrench into the engine of a darn good whine, but I assume nothing; literally– I did the work. Does he assume he owns my efforts? But no, there is no test here. There is no fill in the blank, no multiple choice, no essay (except, sadly, the one which was emailed to me) and no oral exam. Nope: definitely no test. But, sigh, Sigh, SIGH– we simply must do something about "pubblik edjookashun" [sic]; just look at the above non-sensical sentence. I think he missed some testing in school, but there are no tests here at Hear O Yisra'el. Read! Learn! It literally is that simple! OK, I have to admit I'm stumped here. I have no idea what "given freely without consent means"; frankly that whole paragraph is rather stilted, however I now know what that big pretty orange a in the beginning of the braggadocios email is for. See? Learning can be fun!
DID you just revise or restore the names? And did you apply the proper context of the original writing?
DID you look? If you see "LORD" then the answer is no. If you see יהוה then the answer is yes; again with the reading and the learning and the learning and the reading comes knowledge. Apply that process to the other names in the version. As for each individual sentence, if anyone relies on any English translation without looking up the 'Ibriy, he is a fool! That includes the His Name Tanakh version. It is your duty to be diligent and check any version. That is how I discovered how appallingly and purposefully mistranslated the 'religionists versions' are! As far as proper context is concerned I admit on the HNT download page that HNT is a "work in progress"– he even cut and pasted a close sentence: "that is slowly progressing from". Not reading my pages or words before lambasting me is bad enough, but to cut and paste and still not know? The following is a quote from the HNT (and previous HNS) page:
You will, sadly, find some unmatched portions, punctuation and other mistakes and problems. You will find passages, headings and titles neglected entirely in the revision process (but with the 4.0+ versions you will notice less and less mistakes and more Hebrew editing), [emphesis mine]
Yikes!
The Second Email wherein he returned my reply and promptly fell out of his "REGARD"
You are an author of confusion! You pretend to be polite after insulting me in the same sentence (typical and expected), without even addressing my questions! By your response I have proven YOU ARE A FRAUD and a failed rebel ! your work is in vain, you should charge money for your so called slowly progressing from the bastardized version!
wrote:

-- →if you didn’t want to be bothered anymore then you should not have responded (with a petty insult ) ☹
UhM, nooooo there was no politeness pretended. I definitely intended to clue tell clue him an idiot. Much as a dad would tell you to "Pleeeeeease, stop bouncing that ball in the house before your mother asks me to beat your a**" (no, I never heard that as a child). There is, indeed, confusion here but I'm almost positive it wasn't on my part. If my response was "typical and expected," why did he email me in the first place? Is he a glutton for punishment or has his ignorant self-righteousness gotten him into trouble before? What is typical and expected was how quickly he fell off his high-horse of REGARD a mere hours after regaling a total stranger with how full of...UhM...REGARD he actually is. I'm thinking the purple-passionate-color-of-angry-retort was a serious choice for him. Red? Burnt-orange? Puce? Nope, it had to be purple-passion. Is that a 'messie-anic-complex' color? It would have been my choice as well if I ever resorted to emailing total strangers in colored fonts, arrows, MIXED cApItAlIzAtIoN and made-UP words along with ludicrous and oblique insinuations thinly-veiled as questions, not to mention exclamation points of anger-emphasis stuck smack-dab into the middle of a sentence. Shock 'em with that purple-passionate-color-of-lost-regard, I always say, and maybe they will not notice ! (the content). Fraud? Failed rebel? whoa– so much DIS-regard (or is it dis-REGARD– I do so get 'confusion-ed') He doesn't elaborate as to who I am rebelling against, but I'm guessing it's his expectation that I would fall at his feet lavishing great praise on him for clearing up the matter of my hating the learning of Tanakh by offering a free (albeit not a very fancy one) Tanakh fell somewhat short. Sniffles. And all my work is in vain? Well, I'll let Eloah YAHm be the judge of that...
But, he is correct in one thing– when you call an idiot an idiot on the telephone, and tell him never to call you again and then hang up, you know he is going to immediatly hit the re-dial button. Next time I'll hit the call-blocker first.
Sigh! There is so much more I could write concerning this. I'll be brief and try to add relatable articles elsewhere.
His Name Tanakh is not intended for you. It was never intended for you. When I first started this project, more than ten years ago, I was doing it with the sole purpose of aiding myself in my own studies. Truthfully I got tired of remembering to remember to think יהוה every time I saw 'LORD' which I knew was not only erroneous translating, but a deliberate change to make xtianity more palatable to the nations and "less Jewish". It sickened me, as did the other deliberate changes that the anti-Semitic translators made to the Tanakh.
There wasn't even an internet as we know it today and I certainly had not yet entertained any thoughts of my own website. More than ten years had passed before I made His Name Scriptures available for download, and more than another two years before I changed it to His Name Tanakh. I asked for, and expected, no reward, financial or otherwise. You don't even need to thank me; seriously. This is intended as a tool for me to learn by. Consider it as if you were listening to me read aloud in my room. You don't need to thank me for every sentence. Since roughly 1996 I have invested 100's of hours on HNS and HNT. Sadly, some of it was wasted time due to improper usage of certain words in 'Ibriy and I did much revising of my revisions. Sigh. Including the computers, the CD's I used to store them on, all of the more than 100 different sources of references (books, PC programs) and if you will, the web-site cost, as well as my time, I have invested well over 3000 smackeroos. I did this for me. You owe me nothing.
Don't be mistaken, I don't mind sharing it, any more than I mind not having a team of research assistants, or secretaries to help me. I have neither asked for, nor do I expect, any special thank-you's and I don't mind you looking over my shoulder and reading along; because, still, I'd be doing this for me. Don't be mistaken, I don't mind making it available for (dare I say it?) free because, still, I'd be doing this for me. The fact that I have been posting the "so called slowly progressing from the bastardized version" no-cost download since prd: 8-04-2007, should just about prove it to anyone with a minuscule ability to think truthfully but, still, I'd be doing this for me. You owe me nothing. It isn't fancy-schmansy and it probably never will be– it was never meant to be, but if it (along with all the other study materials you should be obtaining) helps you out, Halal-Yahh and only Yahh! If not, no problem: simply quit using it and delete it from your hard-drive. Problem solved!
You will never get "the" version. Not from me, any KJV, the ASV or any version. Apparently I have to split a few heads...er hairs...
Dabariym [deuteronomy] 17:18. And it will be and become and come to pass when he dwells for periods of the appointed time and remains upon and over the throne, or seat of authority, of his realm that he will write and record, along with a second duplicate, this Towrah in a writing out of that which is before the faces of the kohaniym, the Leuiym:
19. And it will be with him, and he will read there all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear יהוה his 'Elohiy, to keep all the words of this Towrah and these appointed specific times, functions and duties, to do them;
The king's of Yisra'el were all required to make themselves two copies of the Towrah and assuming half of them obeyed, that would amount to well over seventy copies over the years. Assuming they copied them correctly, still only– c o p i e s! Each King would have "A" c o p y. King Dauiyd– "A" c o p y. King Shelomoh– "A" c o p y. If one were able to walk through King Dauiyd's palace and came across his "claim ownership of of the WORD of YAHUWAH through man made laws" - "A" c o p y, try making off with it and see what occurs. I picture a man-made spear...
This person seems to be very concerned about "manmade laws". I truly am not sure why, since in this particular case there is little difference between יהוה 's attitude and the intent of the spirit of this issue. Except, perhaps, יהוה is more exacting in His expectations of our acting in honorable ways. The problem is a very basic one. Most 'religionists' fail to remember that HaTowrah was written for them, not others. That is to say when I read it I am expected by יהוה to learn His Towrah for myself and then worry about myself first and foremost.
When He tells me to give freely I am supposed to give freely.He does not tell me to force you to be a giver of anything (pay attention here liberals). Convince you, yes force you no!
When you read the Towrah you are supposed to use it for you– on yourself first.
So, why is someone else worrying about it? What makes anyone get out of bed and decide to do anything to someone else 'just because'? A logical assumption might be that because I do not put my actual name on the His Name Tanakh©, using the Hear O Yisra'el moniker as an alternative, that this person believes I am infringing on his right to distribute my work as his own. I admit I'm guessing here, but combined with a definite DIS-regard for the obvious...
Sadly, most of the greco-roman western modern (ok, the world in general) doesn't comprehend the "boundry stone" law of Yahh. Maybe I need to catch-up my articles and include one on that. But a bit of admonishing to the religionist in all of us:
If someone tells you to get out of their house– Get out!
If someone tells you to get off of their grass– Get off!
If someone tells you to stop phoning, emailing or standing outside their window ScReAmInG hOlInEsS– Get off, get out and go away!
If someone tells you to get your feet off of their coffee table it does not matter how much tape and elmer's glue is used to hold it together or how many books are used to replace the missing leg– Get your damn feet off!
If they tell you not to use their 1000's of hours of labor except in the manner they proscribe when they allow you to have access to their labor for free– Don't do it! You are a thief… Shemoth [exodus] 20:15: You will not steal!
I have no serious belief in my actual ability to control what anybody does with HNT after they download it, though I do have my doubts as to whether or not hundreds of printing presses are geared up, even as I type this, for mass production. Why the most holy one would make an issue of something so small is utterly, well…idiotic. I never could comprehend the mind-set of people who go to painstaking lengths to go against another's wishes for his/her "own stuff" (especially over the trivial) and still want to brag as to their superior holiness; but, hey, just look at our modern society. SiGh! sIgH? SigH? oh poo...
So, why, exactly, do I not want HNT distributed by others? Besides the periodic updating, I do want to protect the content. Since I know there have been deliberate changes (wait till you see the article on 'pierced') I really do not want it done with my efforts. Let HNT stand or fall by itself! Not to mention, well, Duh! I do have a web-site.
Tehilliym 1:1-6
BLISSFUL is the man, yes joyful, that does not walk in the advice and purpose of the immoral, nor stands in the course of life and mode of actions of guilty criminals, or lives and abides where scoffers dwell and remain:
2. On the Towrah of יהוה is his desire and pleasure and on His Towrah he meditates all day and through the night.
3. And he will become as a tree, which is planted by the small divided channels of water, bringing forth fruit in its season, whose leaf does not wither in foolishness; and everything he does will move forward and prosper.
4. But the immoral are not so, but are like the winnowed-out chaff which the wind tosses back and forth.
5. Therefore the immoral will not stand in the judgment, or guilty criminals in the assembly of the righteous ones.
6. For יהוה knows the road, course of life and mode of action of the righteous; but the road, course of life and mode of action of the immoral is lost.
And lastly– he sent me a frownie face? A frownie face? He stands on the foggy summit shaving god and SCREAMING about HIS great REGARD aBiLiTiEs and spiritYAHHity [sic, sic, sic]– and sends me a frownie face? What is he, five? יהוה ,יהוה how do these people find me? Oh, I forgot– I have a web site. Oy vey!
P.S. I deliberately made a mistake on this page. If you can tell me what it was I'll let you download
a free c o p y of His Name TaNaKh [insert multi-colored smiley face here]!
If you are desperate to see if I could possibly make this stuff up
you can download the original email and see for yourself. Have fun with that!
