Rabbi Tuly Weisz has published a Bible that reinforces its central theme: The Israel Bible provides a dignified yet smooth reintroduction to the multi-dimensional and awe-inspiring world of the Tanakh for all those interested in delving deeper. The thoughtful transliteration makes the transition to speaking the authentic Word so much easier. Like training wheels, it gives the reader a boost of confidence that also he or she can now speak the eternal language once uttered by prophets, kings and the Most High Himself when He communicated His Word from Sinai.

This Bible not only highlights the centrality of the Land of Israel and the modern miracle of the State of Israel, but helps the Bible scholar and student alike, with helpful charts, study notes, professional essays and a relatable translation of the Hebrew text. Based on the sections I have read, I am confident it will succeed in helping readers of Tanakh better understand its geographical context and better perceive some of its contemporary resonances. Through these focused comments, he consistently highlights the profound biblical connection between God, the people of Israel, and the Land of Israel.

May this book inspire us to fulfill the central mission of Tanakh itself—that individual Jews, and the miraculous State of Israel, should live up to our monumental covenantal privilege and responsibility to live according to the Torah and to serve as a Light unto the Nations. It draws the reader closer to the Almighty, to the Torah, and to the Land of Israel. Rabbi Tuly Weisz and his colleagues are to be congratulated, and thanked, for this inspiring and informative gift to all who share our history and destiny.

In these very critical and tempestuous times it is especially important to understand the inexplicable connection between the nation of Israel and the Land of Israel and this is precisely what Rabbi Tuly Weisz has succeeded in doing in this timely translation of the Bible. Thank you, Rabbi Tuly Weisz, for allowing non-Jews the opportunity to connect as well. In , the prophecy came to pass in our own time and no one can disconnect the people from their land ever again.

Now that the God and people and land of Israel are back together, history is happening here. Jews and Christians share a biblical heritage, and The Israel Bible shows even more clearly that this is the land God chose for the Jewish people. The Israel Bible quotes in Hebrew give me a chance every day to practise my basic Biblical Hebrew reading skills.

Thank you for helping people to hear His voice. Brilliant to include such incredible evidence of the promises of God on the very pages it was first written.

Comprehensive and interactive, this bible fills the time gap like no other translation. It truly leaves the reader inspired and in complete awe.

Exciting times to be alive with this inspiring look to the future redemption of Israel and the world. A great stone, not cut by human hands, fell on the feet of the statue and destroyed it, and the rock became a mountain that filled the whole world. Daniel then interprets the dream: Nebuchadnezzar affirms that Daniel's god is "the God of gods and Lord of kings and revealer of mysteries.

It is generally accepted that the Book of Daniel originated as a collection of folktales among the Jewish community in Babylon and Mesopotamia in the Persian and early Hellenistic periods 5th to 3rd centuries BCE , expanded in the Maccabean era mid-2nd century by the visions in chapters Daniel 2 forms a chiasmus within the larger structure of Daniel Chapter 1 and the first few lines of chapter 2 are in Hebrew, but in verse 4 the text says, in Hebrew, "Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic ," and the book then continues in Aramaic until the end of chapter 7, where it switches back to Hebrew.

No convincing explanation for this has been put forward.

The Book of Daniel is an apocalypse , a literary genre in which a heavenly reality is revealed to a human recipient; such works are characterized by visions, symbolism, an other-worldly mediator, an emphasis on cosmic events, angels and demons, and pseudonymity false authorship. Daniel 2 exhibits both these genres, but it is also made up numerous subgenres: The overall theme of the Book of Daniel is God's sovereignty over history, [5] and the theme of the tales in chapters is that God is sovereign over all earthly kings.

In the ancient world, dreams, especially those of kings, were regarded as portents. The king's behaviour implies a distrust of his court dream-interpreters, and sets the scene for his later celebration of Daniel's God. Most modern scholars agree that the four world empires symbolised by the statue are Babylon the head , the Medes arms and shoulders , Persia thighs and legs and Seleucid Syria and Ptolemaic Egypt the feet [27] ; the traditional interpretation of the dream identifies the four empires as the Babylonian the head , Medo-Persian arms and shoulders , Greek thighs and legs , and Roman the feet empires.

The symbolic significance of the stone which destroys the statue and becomes a mountain evokes biblical imagery of God as the "rock" of Israel, Zion as a mountain rising above all others, and God's glory filling the whole world.

Images from the Book of Isaiah seem to be especially favoured. Whether the author was conscious of it or not, the image of the shattered statue blown away in the wind like chaff from the threshing floor brings to mind Isaiah The traditional interpretation of the dream identifies the four empires as the Babylonian the head , Medo-Persian arms and shoulders , Greek thighs and legs , and Roman the feet empires.

Groups derived from the Adventist movement follow the Historicist interpretation of the statue, which they inherited from the Millerite movement, with the same identities attributed for the gold head, silver breast and arms, copper belly and thighs and the iron legs, as well as the rock representing the establishment of God's kingdom. However, specific interpretations about the feet and toes, in reference to more recent governments, vary among denominations.

Seventh-day Adventists interpret the non-durable iron and clay mixture as the many short-lived attempts throughout European history to form a large empire such as the Holy Roman Empire, Napoleonic France, Nazi Germany, The European Union. Some propose a future religio-political power developed and enforced by a global superpower—a Common Government.

The lateral symmetry of the image from the thighs downward is taken to represent the permanent cultural and religious division between West and East. In Jehovah's Witnesses ' interpretation, the feet partly of iron and partly of clay represent the Anglo-American world power. They associate the feet with the Anglo-American world power: The mixture of iron-and-clay are said to represent traditional authoritarian rule uneasily coexisting with democratic rule and political fragmentation in the 'last days'.

In particular, the clay is said to represent the common people having a say in how they are ruled during this time. The story in Daniel 2 has significant meaning to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , who believe that the true church was restored to the earth in the "latter days" through a modern prophet , Joseph Smith , in Like other Christians, the LDS church believes that the "stone cut out of the mountain without hands" is God's kingdom on the Earth, but unlike many other Christians, they believe that it has already been established rather than at a future date.

This is the kingdom, set up by the god of heaven, that would never be destroyed nor superseded, and the stone cut out of the mountain without hands that would become a great mountain and would fill the whole earth.
