Overview

This book is primarily a reference for the Ten Commandments as rendered in the Leningrad Codex, which is the oldest, complete manuscript of the Hebrew Language based Jewish Scriptures. The number of verses and the order in which they are written is unique to the Leningrad Codex. As of September 2019, I know of no other publications (Bibles, websites, etc.) other than my online Hebrew-English Tanakh (https: //www.the-iconoclast.org/resources/tanakh/) which faithfully replicate the verse numbering and verse structure found in the Leningrad Codex! For instance, the well known King James Version uses seventeen (17) verses in its rendering of Exodus 20 to express what is found in the actually source document, the Leningrad Codex in Exodus 20:1-12 (twelve verses). All other publications of the same material have similar discrepancies. Does changing the verse order and numbering potentially change the meaning of the text? When Yehovah (the name of God) personally enscribed the Ten Commandments on the two tablets of stone, and commanded Moses to place them in the Ark of the Covenant, do you think He intended them to remain unchanged in their replication (as in all Bibles)? If so, should we no all take Him seriously and hold those Ten Commandments in high regard ourselves? Might we consider that, in studying them, we may come to learn to comprehend that our own reason for being could be discerned by knowing what His words actually mean in the context they were given? If you consider this important, then you, too, may come to know and appreciate the Elohim (God) of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by reading this book!

Author Information

"I have been retired since May 2019. I spent my career in the Printing Industry, the last part of which I worked in Professional Services as a Program Manager/Programmer. I worked for several OEM manufacturers in that capacity (Creo Products, Eastman Kodak, contract with HP, Inc.). As a layperson, I began reading the ""Bible"" regularly in early 1980 and have read it all of the way through pretty much every year since then. I would read Hebrew to find the basis of some words in the course of my studying. In early 2012, I began reading the Hebrew text first in my regular reading, then in English, looking Hebrew word definitions up as needed. In 2019, I programmatically wrote, in the C++ programming language, the code to convert the Unicode, Multi-wide font encoded sourced from the Westminster Leningrad Codex to a Web Hebrew font encoding (in programming terms, it was like 'trying to herd cats!'). I then set up my online Hebrew-English Tanakh from that encoding, placing the Hebrew Scriptures side-by-side a modified JPS 1917 English translation. I put that completed Hebrew-English Tanakh on my website, the-iconoclast.org by September 2019 (having had base webpages earlier that summer). During the course of updating my website I decided I wanted to put a page together a discussion of the Ten Commandments. It was in that process that I discovered the uniqueness of the Leningrad Codex in its verse separations which I also found had not been adhered to by all other publications, particularly those which had claimed the Leningrad Codex as their source for the Hebrew Language based Jewish Scriptures! It was from that effort which led me to decide to write the book, The Real God Code: The Ten Commandments In The Leningrad Codex!"
