Reasons to support my translation work:

1) You'd get a better translation of the Bible.

2) You'd be supporting a disabled trans artist doing what they love.

3) Your money doesn't go to any church, religious publisher, or soulless corporation. It just buys me groceries and bicycle brakes (I seriously need some new brakes).

4) There is far more to the Bible than just religion. The Bible is the heritage of Jews, Christians, Muslims, numerous cults, and families across the world. You might even have a family Bible with your family tree in it, or an inherited or commemorative Bible.

I'm working on an original translation of the Bible. My goal is to let the words of scripture guide my translation rather than reading a favored theology into the text. As the saying goes, "Where the Bible speaks, we speak, where it is silent, we are silent." In addition to being a formal equivalence, I try to preserve original idioms (with clarification in the footnotes), poetic and metaphorical language, and distinct synonyms (ie. land/ground/dust) where possible.

The text is available under a Creative Commons license. And it is available at a website, and as an ebook, though it is still incomplete.

Among those murdered on 7 Oct were Moshe Ohayon and his son Eliad, defending Ofakim from Hamas onslaught. He was, among other things, the head of Project 929, which seeks to make Torah accessible for all Jews regardless of religious education and observance. Each chapter of Tanakh has essays, poems, artwork, and even videos to expand on the text from every imaginable direction. First, the project was in Hebrew, and then they created an English version, with all original content, not translations. I discovered the app (also website) years ago and have found it meaningful.

Moshe Ohayon was a bridge-builder and peacemaker whose life was dedicated to bringing people together across Israeli society regardless of ethnicity, religion, or religious observance. May his memory be a blessing.
