This landmark volume presents the first-ever English translation of
the ancient Israelite Samaritan version of the Pentateuch, or
Torah. A text of growing interest and importance in the field of
biblical studies, the Samaritan Pentateuch preserves a version of
the Hebrew text distinct from the traditional Masoretic Text that
underlies modern Bible translations.Benyamim Tsedaka's expert
English translation of the Samaritan Pentateuch is here laid out
parallel to the more familiar Masoretic Text, highlighting the more
than 6,000 differences between the two versions. In addition to
extensive explanatory notes in the margins throughout, the book's
detailed appendices show affinities between the Samaritan and
Septuagint versions and between the Samaritan and Dead Sea Scroll
texts. Concluding the volume is a categorical name index containing
a wealth of comparative information.
This book is a collection of reflections and poems that reflect my
experiences of God, hence the title, Testament. It is my hope that,
by sharing my experiences, readers will be led into deeper
experiences of their own.
'Most people want to know about their past, and to see and hear
about the evidence of it. They want to learn about past history,
and some places are particularly suited to achieving this.
Conservation of such places is important to national or local
self-identity.' Looking After Heritage Places is a comprehensive
reference and sourcebook for anyone managing a heritage place-an
Aboriginal site, historic building or any other place of cultural
importance to the community. The authors provide a step-by-step
guide to: * identifying a heritage place * assessing and
documenting the site * implementing conservation practices *
visitor management * international and Australian legislation.
Looking After Heritage Places offers a wealth of information on
preserving and conserving heritage places for administrators,
owners, caretakers, volunteers, students and professionals. Pearson
and Sullivan survey key issues currently being debated in the field
and in the wider community and discuss their implications for
heritage management.
