The DHE is Finished!

The Delitzsch Hebrew Gospels: A Hebrew/English Translation (DHE) is complete and on press. After several years of dedicated and careful labor we are now finished. Thank you for your patience with us. I pray that you will be immensely blessed by this work. More importantly I fervently pray that this volume of the four Gospels will be redemptive--firmly restoring the Gospels back to a Jewish matrix and will bring Yeshua closer to his people.

There is so much about the work that I would like to share with you--but honestly I am a bit exhausted by it. Our staff, reviewers, various contractors, and a host of volunteers have poured our souls into this work and now that it is at the printer, we are emotionally decompressing a bit. Today, I just wanted to announce that last week we released it to press and it is just a couple months away from being available for shipping.

Release Schedule:

  • July 15: Pre-Ordering opens. (It is important that you pre-order as limited quantities will be available in the first press run.)

  • August 15: Shipping begins for DHE: Standard Edition to all qualifying Torah Club v.4 members and those that pre-ordered this edition.

  • September 15: Shipping begins for DHE: Deluxe Editions to all sponsors of this work and to those that pre-ordered one of these editions.

Available Volumes:
There will be three editions available for purchase.
Standard Edition: $28.00
Deluxe Hard Cover: $48.00
Deluxe Soft Cover: $42.00

Each volume shares the same content, charts, translation, maps, introductions, and explanations. Each volume is published at the highest of industry standards. The DHE is a substantial work and I am sure each of you will be greatly blessed by this thoroughly-Jewish presentation of the words and teachings of the greatest Jewish teacher ever ...

We will keep you updated through our various blogs and e-mail communications.

Your prayers for us (and for the printers) at this time are greatly appreciated.

This is very gratifying for you (and your eager audience).

You may have anticipated my question... when will it be available as a eBook? I travel a lot and as my wife and I have purchased scores of previous paper books that you have published, I particularly am interested in carrying and gifting others with iPad friendly versions of the literature I am reading.

Congrats, Boaz and Vine of David team!

Thank you to all whom have labored to bring us a translation of the Gospels that we can use with confidence. May the DHE sales bring you much satisfaction and assurance of your work for the Messianic movement and the church at large. So where do I pre-order?

So excited to hear this news! This is the only translation that I have been looking forward to for a really long time. Lots of folks putting out translations these days but I think that this is the one that will be the most useful. Todah rabbah for all of the work and dedication that has gone into this.

Mazal Tov Boaz.

This is an important milestone for our friends at FFOZ. May the DHE translation bring more Jews to the kingdom. We are proud of you for your passion for the B'esorah.

Baruch Hashem
Mazel Tov!
What a wonderful mitzvah and accomplishment!
Only Hashem knows the full extent to which the blessings will flow from this grand endeavor; a glory to our wonderous and awesome Creator & Savior. Can hardly wait to start delving into it.
How can we ever thank you for this precious labor of love.
TODAH, TODAH! TODAH RABAH!!!

Yea! This year was the first year that I spported FFOZ. I'm so glad to see the fruits of that offering. Thanks, Boaz, to you and your team for being Y'shua's faithful servants.

Looking forward to it!

Yasher Koach to all of you at FFOZ! We are so excited about this project. We believe this is going to be a great tool to bring the Good News to the Lost Sheep of Israel. May the veil be pulled away as they read through the words of this very Jewish book. It is a chance to personally hand out these copies of the DHE, and establish relationships with our brothers and sisters. We, at Temple Aviv Judea, have a grand vision for these books and we know that there will be a great demand for these Bibles. Thank you for your diligence and hard work that you poured out on this project, and I am sure that your work will bring forth rewards here on earth...as it will be in heaven. Baruch HaShem!
