Preface

This book has been several years in the making. I put it aside for a time, after I had finished Number 4. There are numerous excuses I could make, but mostly it was just being a little bit lazy. However, this was a good thing as I found mistakes in the first writing and had to go back and correct them.

I believe in using the True Name instead of Lord, according to my understanding. Therefore, wherever the word Lord normally appears in the Bible, I have rendered it as YaHVaH. Some say the rendering should be YaHWeH and that the third letter was more anciently rendered as a W. This has not been my findings. YHVH is the correct rendering of the Tetragrammaton and Hebrew usually applies two As to the root words. Therefore, I use YaHVaH. There is no discrepancy on the first three letters because they weren’t changed in the Psalms. The Bible teaches us to use His Name, but not to abuse it (see more on this in Number 4).

Furthermore, in place of the word God, you will see the words El or Elohiym. These are the Hebrew words for God. The Name Yeshua is used in place of Jesus. There is no J in the Hebrew or Greek languages, so Jesus is automatically incorrect. Yeshua is the name used in the New Testament.

Unless otherwise stated, the translations listed in this book are the direct translations by this author from the Hebrew and Greek texts. Some reference works, such as Strong’s and Gesenius’ Lexicon have been consulted at times and noted, along with the occasional commentary from the Tanach (Hebrew Old Testament).

It is the author’s hope that the reader sees where the TEN Words are, how they correlate to the TEN/Fourteen Commandments, and that the chapters are not too confusing by all the Scripture cross-references and Hebrew words. I pray the reader is encouraged to do some deep exploration of the Scriptures.

I would like to express my thanks to Betty McIver, my aunt, who passed on to be with YaHVaH on 07/04/2010. Without her help and funding, I would not have reached the level of religious training I have now. It is because of this that this book is now possible. Thank you Aunt Betty and Uncle Bruce.
