In our quest to get to "yada' - know" Yahowah even better, and to better "byn - understand" what He is offering and wants from us in return, this book will consider the statements Yahowah wrote with His own hand. On the first of the two tablets, God summarized His message to humankind, providing an essential perspective from which to understand everything He would reveal to us in His Towrah. On the second, He taught us how to live our lives. As always, these translations are amplified, providing you with a more complete rendering of Yahowah's advice. In addition, they include the Hebrew words themselves, because it is vitally important that you take the time to verify their meanings. In all things, you should trust God, not man (including me)."And (wa) God ('elohym - the Almighty) conveyed (dabar - communicated, spoke, and wrote, provided instruction and direction with) all of (kol) these statements using words (dabar - words and statements) , providing perspective ('eleh - from a relatively close vantage point) in our presence ('eth - in association with us and in proximity to us) , saying ('amar - explaining, claiming, answering, counseling, warning, and promising) "I am ('anky) Yahowah (YHWH - ) , your God... ('elohym - the Mighty One (suffixed in the second person singular))" (Shemowth / Names / Exodus 20:1-2)Religious institutions are wont to call what follows "The Ten Commandments." But according to "'elohym - God Almighty," their Author, He "dabar - conveyed and communicated" "dabar - statements using words." These "statements" are not numbered, and He did not call them "commandments." There are few things more relevant to developing a relationship with God than understanding this.
