| Publisher Description: "From God To Verse" is a faithful line-by-line translation of the Five Books of Moses -- Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy -- into verse. The content of the original is all there, but the language has been modernized for greater accessibility, and presented in iambic heptameter. The book also contains a child-friendly summary of each chapter, written in 4-8 lines of iambic tetrameter that precede each chapter's main text. The book is, essentially, a Torah/Bible that has been made friendlier without losing a single line of content. Four sources were used in creating this translation: 1) The Five Books of Moses, by Everett Fox (Schocken Books) 2) The JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Torah - (1962 edition) 3) New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha (expanded edition, revised standard version). 4) King James Version Bible |
