'The Real God Code: The Ten Commandments In The Leningrad Codex' is primarily a reference for the Ten Commandments as rendered in the Leningrad Codex, the oldest, complete manuscript of the Hebrew Language based Jewish Scriptures. The Ten Commandments, found in Exodus 20 of the Leningrad Codex are in verses one (1) through twelve (12). In contrast, the well known King James Bible (KJV), the English Standard Version (ESV) and the New International Version (NIV) each use 17 verses to describe the same content.

'The Real God Code: The Ten Commandments In The Leningrad Codex' is primarily a reference for the Ten Commandments as rendered in the Leningrad Codex, the oldest, complete manuscript of the Hebrew Language based Jewish Scriptures. The Ten Commandments, found in Exodus 20 of the Leningrad Codex are in verses one (1) through twelve (12). In contrast, the well known King James Bible (KJV), the English Standard Version (ESV) and the New International Version (NIV) each use 17 verses to describe the same content. Similarly, the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB), the Stone Edition Tanakh and the Koren Tanakh use fourteen (14) verses for the same content. Because the verses are broken up differently in their sentence structure in the modern translations, potential misunderstandings can result. It is quite notable that The Ten Commandments are what God asked Moses to place in the box known as the The Ark of the Covenant. Because He gave them such prominance, should we not also treat them seriously ourselves?
Autorenporträt
I have been retired since May of 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 some Hebrew in addition to English after I had begun learning Hebrew formally since the 1980's. In early 2012, I began reading the Hebrew portion first in my regular reading, followed by the English. In 2019, I completed writing a program I had begun in 2015, in the C++ programming language; in that program I was able to convert the UTF-16 (wide-character) Unicode Font-Encoded sourced from the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC) to a UTF-8 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 in September, 2019. During the course of updating my website, I decided I wanted to put a page together about 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 any other publication, 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 my previous book, The Real God Code: The Ten Commandments In The Leningrad Codex! In January 2022, after several years of programming and hand editing, I started typesetting this volume of the Hebrew-English Jewish Scriptures.
