Hebrew Matthew The Gold Standard
Self | 09/10/2024 | Mordechai ben Avram

Hebrew Matthew The Gold Standard

Devarim (Words)

4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which YHVH ELoHaY of your fathers gives you.

4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of YHVH ELoHYCM which I command you…

...13:1 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of ELoYH is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

OK, is that clear? Do not add to His word and do not subtract from His word. Unfortunately there are some that did not follow these clear instructions.

Do not add!

Matthew (from the Greek)

24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Hebrew Matthew 24

14 And this gospel, that is, evungili, will be preached in all the earth for a witness concerning me to all the nations and then the end will come. 15 This is the Anti-Christ and this is the abomination which desolates which was spoken of by Daniel [as] standing in the holy place. Let the one who reads understand. 16 Then those who are in Juda, let them flee to the mountains. 17 He who is upon the house, let him not come down (to take) anything out of his house. 18 He who is in the field, let him not tum back to take his garment.

Notice that Yeshua does not refer to Daniel as a prophet! Now why would someone designate Daniel as a prophet?

*****

Do not subtract!

Matthew (from the Greek)

6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

*****

Hebrew Matthew

6:25 Therefore I say to you: do not be anxious for the food for your souls nor for the clothing for your body, because the soul is more precious than food and the body than clothing.

26 Behold the birds of the sky which sow not nor reap nor gather into barns, but your exalted Father feeds (them). Are you not more precious than they? 27 Who among you of those who are anxious is able to add to his height one cubit?

28 If this is the case, why are you anxious for clothes? Behold the lilies of Sharon, that is, "Gilyon," (in growing they neither spin nor weave).

29 But I say to you that King Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like these.

30 If EL clothes the straw which is left in the standing grain, that is, penon, which is fresh today and tomorrow is dried up and is placed into the oven, so much the more [will he clothe] (you) who are little of faith. 31 If EL so thinks of you, do not be anxious saying what shall we eat and what shall we drink,

32 because all these things the bodies seek. But your Father knows that you need all these things. 33 Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you.

I want to examine this section in more detail.

28 If this is the case, why are you anxious for clothes? Behold the lilies of Sharon, that is, "Gilyon," (in growing they neither spin nor weave).

29 But I say to you that King Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like these.

Of course most are aware nowadays that a common lily contains 100 times the DNA of a human. That’s ten orders of magnitude!

This sentence ‘Behold the lilies of Sharon’ points directly to Shir HaSharim!

חֲבַצֶּלֶת הַשָּׁרוֹן lilies of Sharon, same words!

Song of Songs שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים

2:1 I am a lily of Sharon, A rose of the valleys.

אֲנִי חֲבַצֶּלֶת הַשָּׁרוֹן שׁוֹשַׁנַּת הָעֲמָקִים ׃

2 As a rose among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.

כְּשׁוֹשַׁנָּה בֵּין הַחוֹחִים כֵּן רַעְיָתִי בֵּין הַבָּנוֹת׃

Now it gets real interesting!

8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon; look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

ח אִתִּי מִלְּבָנוֹן כַּלָּה, אִתִּי מִלְּבָנוֹן תָּבוֹאִי; תָּשׁוּרִי מֵרֹאשׁ אֲמָנָה, מֵרֹאשׁ שְׂנִיר וְחֶרְמוֹן, מִמְּעֹנוֹת אֲרָיוֹת, מֵהַרְרֵי נְמֵרִים

כַּלָּה means 'bride' and it appears six times in Shir HaSharim, five times in Chapter four and once in Chapter five. After all, you’re a bride and groom for only one day, after that, wife and husband.

Shir HaSharim looks like a preview of the wedding celebration of The Lamb

See: Chapter 5

Matthew 22:1 And Yeshua answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests…

Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Yeshua: worship God: for the testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

So why would people (gentiles) take the Hebrew, translate into Greek, then Latin and then hide away the Hebrew? You’d have to ask them. Control of information I’d say, and control happens to be very popular in the west nowadays. As I’ve mentioned before that one word can significantly alter the meanings of scripture and with the addition of ‘Sharon’ this section literally explodes with information. They have done a great disservice to humanity.

Not only this section of Hebrew Matthew but this book is chocked full of information. Words like Gilyon, penon, and dinar which is hugely relevant today! More work!

It’s clear to me that the Brit Chadashah was written in Hebrew, translated into Greek, then Latin etc. Then any difficult passages must be verified via the two witness rule.

Two Witnesses

Deuteronomy 4:25 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: 4:26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

31:1 And Moses went and spoke these words unto all Israel.

Matthew 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Example

Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Micah 4:10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there YHVH shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

Time, times and half a time, three and a half years the Hebrew calendar (lunar), daughter of Zion, Hebrews.

Later!

That's two orders of magnitude, not ten.

Tradition going back to the 3rd century (at least) holds that Matthew was written b in Hebrew, primarily for a Jewish audience. The Peshitta is a Syriac version of the NT; it's text of Matthew may have been translated directly from the Jebrew original rather than from the Greek.

The early chapters of Luke contain acrostics and other wordplay that can only be seen in a Hebrew translation, hinting that perhaps the original language of composition was Hebrew.

Notice that Yeshua does not refer to Daniel as a prophet …
Yes He does. The word prophetou is clearly in the Greek form of Matthew 24:15.

Never mind evungili in Matthew 28:19, a blatant transliteration from Greek; why this extravagance? Luke 4:18 has Greek evangelizesthai translated from Hebrew besorah from Isaiah 61:1; why was besorah not used instead of evungili? Sorry, but this indicates this Hebrew text of the Gospels to be a translation from the Greek and a bad one at that.

A wholly false, unproveable assumption. What I say in response is as follows:

It is not at vallclear to you at all who it is that translated the first attempt of writing a history of the Messiah's enfleshment, or earthly ministry, or wnat He said, because the Hebrew account was not deemed to be Holy-Spirit-inspired, by the elders of the Jerusalem Pentecostalized Ekklesia of whom all personally knew and were taught by Jesus and observed Him.

It was Levi, who was one of these, is currently counted as the author of a Hebrew/Aramaic account, knew the Koine business language and its concurrent Hebrew/Aramaic (spoken) languages more intimately than anyone alive today. It was he that most likely rewrote the Greek account accepted as being Spirit-inspired (the rendering as well being directly observed by his ten fellow first Apostles (who were also guided by the Holy Spirit to observe contribute, and of necessary correct), its first-person genuine acceptability in its canonicity, which a different Hebrew-language version (unreadable to the Gentile) was not, and thus not useful to the Spirit-moved intention to the global expansion of evangelism to all tribes and cultures.

This quite easily proves the foundation of your false assumptions to be wrong.

Secondly, the Crown-Authorized ("King James") English Version, as many others in the late-arriving English or in other languages, is but a scholarly translationinto another language, and cannot be termed "inspired." So also was the works of Jerome, all pf which can never be declared as being inspired. These efforts can only at best be described as decent approximations of what might have passed through the mind of a first-century Koine verbal and written communicator/interpreter. And even then, the ability to understand (not merely read) what he/she digests is always dependent on the limits or illumination of the figuraive-literal language terms of the text in its time and culture.

Today, even a person fairly experienced in biblical hermeneutics can improve on the purposeful ambiguosity of the Authorized Version tnat was based on the well-preserved Masoretic Hebrew/Masoretic scriptures for the OT, and Scrivener's Byzantine/Majority Textform ("Received Text") for the NT as the Spirit-moved, verbally inspired, inerrant, infallible, and preserved by means of the multiplicity of churches whose earthly ongoing assemnlage is the pillar and ground of The Truth (1 Timothy 3:15) (of which the Lord Jesus Christ is the Personification of Way, Truth, and Life).

Furthermore , the "critical" Greek textform, or its eclectic revision, first synthesized from the Vaticanus, Alexandrian, and Sinaitic textforms (all corrupted nor agreeing with each other), present modern versions that are even worse translation/interpretation.paraphrastic presentations) than the ones that you falsely present in this tract of yours.,

Phew!

Bad enough we were blasted with a pack of Kamala lies today, but we got a double whammy with your pseudo-Jewish scripture. I could have done without a dose of messy-onic fake scripture today!

So where are the original manuscripts of Matthew in Hebrew found?

I have not heard they exist.

The *original* manuscripts of Matthew don’t exist in any language. If you’re asking if we have a Hebrew text extant today that authentically predates the Greek, we don’t. As I said, the Syriac Peshitta may be a translation from a Hebrew original, or not.

So the whole debate is moot because then people are basing their whole argument on a translation of what someone thinks the Hebrew would have said if it had been written in Hebrew.

If God thought it was so critical that we read Matthew in Hebrew, He would have preserved it in it. It’s in Greek. That’s what we have.

Any debate about what is might have said if... is useless.

Not to mention, “evungili” comes from modern Greek rather than Koine Greek.

I don't know that it's any more useless than any other speculation on textual origins is. There used to be a theory (I believe now mostly discredited) that all of the synoptics had a common source document. People wrote books and doctoral dissertations on it. Why is speculating on whether Matthew was originally written in Hebrew more useless than that? I don't think it is.

Nobody, to my knowledge, thinks it's "critical" that you read Matthew in Hebrew. Maybe interesting, but not critical. The overwhelming majority of professing Christians don't read it in Greek either.

That is true.

AFAIK basically the 5,500+ documents for the New Testament are all copies that came afterwards.
