From God To Verse: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, in Rhyme

As you probably know if you have read the chapters from Genesis that I posted on this site (and if you haven’t, here’s Genesis 1), the book is a line-by-line translation drawing from four Torah sources, done in rhymed couplets of heptameter. Every line from the original is there, and there are also occasional parenthetical explanations in case you don’t have any idea how large a cubit might be.

The printed version of From God To Verse is a complete translation of the Torah: All Five Books of Moses, from Genesis to Deuteronomy.  It also contains a table of contents of Torah portions. And most importantly, for the printed version I have added a 4-8 line rhymed summary (in large print) for each and every chapter.  I believe this will be useful for sharing the book with those who are not ready to dive into a comprehensive translation of the entire text.

.

Other than that, I will say only that this book depends highly on word of mouth, so if you know someone who might appreciate this text — whether they attend Torah study, want to share stories from the Bible with their children, or are simply a fellow congregant at your place of worship — I would be most grateful if you mentioned GodToVerse.com.

Thanks in advance, and thanks to the many, many other people who have helped me along the way, from Hebrew scholars like Everett Fox (whose translation was invaluable), to my cover designer Daniel Beck, to all of my friends and family who have been so supportive for these many years.
