This Bible contains the ancient text in Hebrew, Chaldean, and Greek from the oldest manuscripts available. Under each word is the English equivalent. This Bible is the most accurate Bible in terms of translation, however, it is not the most readable as the English words are not rearranged for comprehension or syntax. You might find that sentences read backwards! But the Bible also comes with helpful guides and structures to help you understand the ancient text.

But much like winning the lottery, victory is often followed by darker companions. After a great victory against Goliath, David suddenly found himself at the end of Saul’s spear. As leaders it’s important we know how to handle victories even when things turn sour shortly after. David’s story provides a lot of insight on how to do this well while keeping the most important thing in focus: our relationship with God.

City gates were very important points of communication, government, justice, and marketplaces. Biblical descriptions of these gates indicate that they were fairly large structures.
