Frustrated with various translations, I decided to create my own. I wanted a reliable, accurate translation that did not reflect the secular or denominational bias that arises when translators choose from among different translations of the Hebrew Scriptures. If the scriptures are valuable for teaching, it is because they are authentic representations of the Hebrew texts, and not an interpretation of them.

There is a growing Noachide movement sweeping the world today, may the Messiah arrive swiftly and in our time. Thus a new Bible is needed, one to guide the followers of the Lord on the path of the just; and it is my great desire that this be such a book.

Here are the fundamental principles I will follow when creating this bible:

• Keep, wherever possible, the beloved and familiar wording of the Tyndale family (ex. the KJV, which is in the public domain).
• Update the language away from archaic pronouns such as Thee and Thou except where they may be used with effect.
• Verify the strength of the translation and the theological sound-ness of the text by comparing it with a reading of the OEB, RSV, the JPS Tanach, the ArtScroll Stone Edition Tanach and other recommended or accepted works.
• Provide theologically sound commentary in the form of selected commentary from the sages Rashi and Maimonides, in the form of selected comments from Rashi and Maimonides (see below)

Selected commentary from the public domain version of the Sefaria Community Edition of Rashi has been appended to some chapters. I have found that Rashi’s comments are invaluable for understanding what the Hebrew words mean and it is a great pity that his commentary has so far been ignored in modern English bible translations.

I also have a public domain copy of Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah but I am unsure of how to utilize it to aid understanding in this project; it remains un-added for now, but I will periodically review it and begin to include relevant commentary over time. This is a long term goal, and to be fair I don't think I have added a single verse yet. I'm very busy trying to get the reader functional.
