The Azariah Bible: The Hebrew Bible English Translation
by Daniel Azariah
Daniel Azariah is a researcher and writer in Jerusalem, Israel. He is author of the revolutionary, literal, word-for-word translation of the Biblical Story of Joseph found in The Book of Genesis, as well as the English translation of the entire Hebrew Bible beginning with the Book of Genesis itself.
The Azariah Bible: The Hebrew Bible English Translation by Daniel Azariah is published in a serialized, chapter-by-chapter, e-mail newsletter and archived web format. It is an independently-published, reader-supported project, and the hope is be able to fund the publication of these books (in various formats), as well as to be able to offer as much for free as possible to the entire world in various digital formats as it becomes possible, GOD-willing.
Set in ancient Egypt, the Story of Joseph is a classic tale of intrigue, betrayal, hope, faith, and redemption straight from the pages of the Book of Genesis in the Bible.

This Story of Joseph presented here is a literal, word-for-word translation (as much as is possible) from the ancient Hebrew Scriptures to modern English. Unless not grammatically possible in English, best efforts have been made to preserve the exact word-for-word flow of the Hebrew word order in an attempt to best capture the meaning and style as intended by the ancient Hebrew.
[Square brackets] have been used to provide suggested [often necessary] extra words in English in order to attempt to best convey the intended exact, literal meaning of the Hebrew Scriptures.
As nothing compares to reading a literary work in its original language – for those who are interested – it is hoped that this Story of Joseph will serve as a convenient tool and platform to “reverse engineer” ancient Biblical Hebrew, i.e. by comparing the literal translation into English offered here, and studying the Biblical Hebrew with this modern, accurate, literal, word-for-word translation of the Story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis (בראשית - Be-Resheet).
