Denna volym är ett omtryck av Judiska församlingens i Stockholm utgåva av De Fem Moseböckerna med Haftarot (utdrag ur de historiska böckerna) för hela året samt De Fem Megilot (Höga Visan, Rut, Klagovisorna, Predikaren och Ester). Originalet gavs ut 1984 och var då den allra första svensk-hebreiska Chumash (den traditionella hebreiska benämningen för en tryckt utgåva av De Fem Moseböckerna). Parallelltext på hebreiska och svenska. 

One of the most important Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha works of the Second Temple Period is Enoch.

According to the biblical narrative (Genesis 5:21-24), Enoch lived only 365 years (far less than the other patriarchs in the period before the Flood).

Enoch "walked with GOD."

Enoch is a figure who receives direct personal revelation from God. He sees the magnificence of God and begins to preach to those around him against sin. He warns that the sinners will be winnowed and that God himself will appear on Mount Sinai to judge the humans as well as the fallen angels on Earth. Among the more controversial material within this text is the detailed account it gives of fallen angels on earth and their cursed offspring, the Nephilim. Azazel features heavily as the instigator of metal weapon production, the use of cosmetics and advocate of widespread promiscuity and fornication. In this book, the figure of Enoch is charged with the knowledge of God's chosen and brutal punishment for the Nephilim, their human mothers and their Angel fathers.The Book of Enoch is a pseudoepigraphal work (a work that claims to be by a biblical character). The Book of Enoch was not included in either the Hebrew or most Christian biblical canons, but could have been considered a sacred text by the sectarians. The original Aramaic version was lost until the Dead Sea fragments were discovered. This is a compilation of several separate works, most of which are apocalyptic. Its oldest portion is the "Apocalypse of Weeks," written shortly before the Maccabean uprising of 167 BC against the Seleucids. The Ethiopic Book of Enoch is called a "pseudepigraphical work," meaning one that is not included in any canon of scripture, outside of even the Apocrypha. The only complete extant version is an Ethiopic translation of a previous Greek translation made in Palestine from the original Hebrew or Aramaic. The Book of the Watcher, tells the story of fallen angels from Gen 6:1-4 that took wives, created the Nephilim, and taught advanced technology to mankind, ultimately leading to the great flood and their destruction. The Parables of Similitude, is an apocalyptic book about the Son of Man and the Ancient of Days. These ancient prophecies of Jesus are directly in line with what we find in the Bible, and are remarkably similar to The Book of Revelation. The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries is a detailed account of the stars and their functions. The Dream Visions is the prophecy of all human history, from the creation of mankind all the way to the end times and the final judgement. The past, present, and future are foretold in grand detail. The prophecy of weeks is similar to the prophecy structure in the book of Daniel. The Noah Fragments is the untold story of Noah from the Bible. We learn more about his mission to save all humanity and the struggles of his father Lamech and his grandfather Methuselah. Finally, included herein are all known fragments of The Book of Giants. Each work is independent, but all the works are bound by a common theme: the punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous.

”Ni ska inse att jag är Herren...” (Hesekiel 37:13). Gud talade dessa ord till Israel i en mörk tid för att både utmana och trösta dem. Detta ger också oss som troende hopp idag!

Profeten Hesekiel är rik på uppenbarelser om dagens Israel och ändens tid. Detta gör den till en viktig bok för både judar och kristna idag. Samtidigt är Hesekiels bok inte alltid enkel att förstå, ens för den vane bibelläsaren. 

Denna lättförståeliga, klargörande och bibeltrogna vandring genom Hesekiels profetior innehåller djupa insikter om såväl Guds makt som barmhärtighet.

• Upptäck konturerna av Guds stora plan – från historien till framtiden – med särskild betoning på profetiorna i kapitel 36–39 som just nu uppfylls

• Få uppmuntran i Guds löften om upprättelse och andlig förnyelse

• Lev i vaksam förväntan på den yttersta tiden och Jesu återkomst

Oavsett hur ditt liv ser ut, och vad som än sker runt om i världen, kommer profeten Hesekiel att fylla dig med frid och ge dig visshet om att Gud verkligen är Herre i allt.

This book contains the three most-known books attributed to Enoch. It also includes an extensive introduction showing the history of the books etc. 

1st Book of Enoch, the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, or 1 Enoch, which is more known as simply the Book of Enoch. Although this book is considered apocryphal for the Western canon, it is contained in the Ethiopic Bible. It was considered sacred by some important first followers of Christ but it was left out of the Bible and disappeared for centuries until it was rediscovered in 1773 in Ethiopic. This manuscript was first translated into English in the 1820s and into German in the 1830s. According to most scholars, part of it was written in third century BCE and part of it in the first century CE (the part related to the Son of Man). Although the oldest complete copies of 1 Enoch are K-9 or Kebran 9, dated late fourteenth early fifteenth century and Ethiopian Monastic Microfilm Library (EMML 2080) of the fifteenth or fourteenth century, fragments found in Qumram in the 1950s are more than 2000 years old. Other old important manuscripts are Abbadianus 55 (possibly fifteenth century) and British Museum Orient 485 (first half of the sixteenth century).

2nd Book of Enoch, the Slavonic Enoch, or 2 Enoch, which is another apocryphal book, found complete only in Old Slavonic manuscripts, and it was once present in the Old Slavonic Bible. It’s usually dated to the first century CE although Matthew Black in The Oxford Guide to People & Places of the Bible state that there is no manuscript “earlier than the fourteenth century BE”.

3rd Book of Enoch, the Hebrew Enoch, or 3 Enoch, which is a Rabbinic text in Hebrew usually dated to the fifth century CE. Some experts believe it was written by Rabbi Ishmael (second century CE), familiar with both 1 Enoch and 2 Enoch.

John J. Collins''s Introduction to the Hebrew Bible is one of the most reliable and widely adopted critical textbooks at undergraduate and graduate levels alike, and for good reason. Enriched by decades of classroom teaching, it is aimed explicitly at motivated students, regardless of their previous exposure to the Bible or faith commitments. The approach is ecumenical, in the sense that it seeks not to impose any particular theological perspective but to provide information and raise questions that should be relevant to any student.

Collins proceeds through the canon of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, judiciously presenting the current state of historical, archaeological, and literary understanding of the biblical text, and engaging the student in questions of significance and interpretation for the contemporary world.

The third edition is presented in a new and engaging format with new maps and images. An index has been added to the volume for the first time.

This deluxe hardbound edition offers readers an accessible and beautifully designed presentation of the Torah. Whether approached as divine scripture, a historical document, or a cornerstone of ethical philosophy, The Torah invites readers into a timeless exploration of covenant, law, faith, and the human journey toward understanding.

The sacred foundation of faith, law, and identity.
