Please contact support with error messages and/or screenshots so we can assist! The את Cepher is a collection of sacred scripture that restores much of what has been removed and/or incorrectly interpreted in the Bible for centuries! • Sets forth a transliteration, rather than a substitution of the names of the Father (Yahuah), Son (Yahusha) and Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha’Qodesh). • Transliterates over 3,100 other Hebrew names and places without substitution. • Restores the Aleph Tav את throughout the text; previously omitted in other English translations. • Includes all of the 81 previously canonized books, plus another 6 books considered to be inspired and/or historically significant: Chanok (Enoch) & Yovheliym (Jubilees) from the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as Yashar (Jasher), 3 & 4 Ezra (1st & 2nd Esdras), 2 Baruch, and Hadaccah (Additions to Esther) – for a total of 87 books. • Restores an accurate order to the books as they were originally written. • Corrects many notorious errors found in virtually all previous English translations, such as Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 14, Zakaryahu (Zechariah) 5, and Mattithyahu (Matthew) 23. • Restores Chapters 151-155 of Tehilliym (Psalms); and the Acrostic Psalms 35 and 145, together with the Acrostic format of Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) are marked with Ivriyt (Hebrew) indicators. • Restores the Missing Fragment of 70 verses in 4 Ezra Chapter 7. • Restores the 29th chapter of Ma’asiym (The Acts of the Apostles) chronicling Pa’al’s (Apostle Paul’s) journey to Spain and Britain.
