For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake
I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
Isaiah 62:1

And it shall come to pass that the Jews shall have the words of the Nephites, and the Nephites shall have the words of the Jews; and the Nephites and the Jews shall have the words of the lost tribes of Israel; and the lost tribes of Israel shall have the words of the Nephites and the Jews.
2 Nephi 29:13

The Jews have carried their Torah scrolls as they fled burning villages.
Nephi carried the Torah, as engraved on the "plates of brass," across the ocean to the New World.
The Book of Mormon is a volume of scripture derived from the Torah and the Nevi'im.
The House of Israel is the Olive-tree. The people of the Book of Mormon are a branch of this tree.

The English verses given in the PDF documents are taken from project Gutenberg via: http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/mormon/
This is a work in progress which may take many years to complete.
Verses will be added on a regular basis until the entire Book of Mormon is posted. Revisions will occur in parallel.
I welcome suggestions and corrections.

I need volunteers to proofread the translation!

Perfunctory but Necessary Disclaimers:
1. I am not an expert in Hebrew.
2. I do not possess an Urim and Thummin, a Liahona, or any other miraculous device.
3. I have not received any angelic visitations.
4. I am not a prophet.
5. I am not an apostle.
6. I am not trying to start a church.

7. This is a private site which is not endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
8. This Hebrew translation does not represent an official version of the LDS Church.
9. The LDS Church has an ironclad agreement with the government of Israel that no missionary work will be undertaken within Israel.
10. The LDS Church owns the copyright to the Book of Mormon.
11. Yes, there is a difference between Biblical and modern Hebrew; I need to learn both.
12. I have never participated in Sunstone or any similar symposia.
13. See Doctrine & Covenants, Section 58:26-29.
14. See Book of Mormon, Mormon 9:33.
15. If this depth of inquiry troubles you in any way, then I invite you to skip this site altogether and instead read the "Especially for Mormons" book series.
16. I am receiving no monetary compensation for this effort. Rather I am spending a great deal of my own time and money on this endeavor.
17. I look forward to the day when the LDS church finally releases a permanent, full, official Hebrew translation of the Book of Mormon (including the nikkud vowel marks). This official version would then clearly take precedence over my own translation.
18. Actually, I am a Rocket Scientist. I analyze mechanical shock & vibration data from launch vehicles.
19. (Insert your own disclaimer here.)
Rather I am learning Hebrew, in part through this translation effort. My tools are computer software, Hebrew textbooks and dictionaries, as well as a stubborn desire to bring forth this Hebrew translation of my own free will and choice, if only one verse at a time.
Chutzpah!
Thank you,
Tom Irvine

Provide loans to the working poor: Kiva
Ryan's Well Foundation
"Chessed" - (pl. Chasadim) - an act of kindness. It was said by Shimon HaTzaddik (Simon the Righteous) that the world continues to exist because of three things: Torah Study, the worship of Hashem, and the performance of "gemilut chasadim," "acts of kindness."
Ma'os Chittim
In Orech Chayim 429:7, the Aruch HaShulchan writes: "All of the nation of Israel has the custom (in the month of Nissan) to collect 'Ma'os Chittim' - to purchase flour for the poor for Pesach, or to give them money so they can purchase it for themselves."
The custom of contributing "Ma'os Chittim," literally "money for wheat," is widespread. Not only do we contribute money to provide for the flour (and therefore Matzos) of the poor, but to provide as well for all the needed Pesach provisions.
Prophet Joseph Smith
Joseph Smith wrote, “Those engaged in seeking the outcasts of Israel, and the dispersed of Judah, cannot fail to enjoy the Spirit of the Lord and have the choicest blessings of Heaven rest upon them in copious effusions . . . He [the Lord] will endow you with power, wisdom, might, and intelligence, and every qualification necessary; while your minds will expand wider and wider, until you can circumscribe the earth and the heavens, reach forth into eternity, and contemplate the mighty acts of Jehovah in all their variety and glory” (History of the Church, 4:128-129).
This quote is from a letter to Orson Hyde and John E. Page, dated 14 May 1840.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland  
"In so many ways, Jerusalem ... constitutes the scene, the setting and the circumference of our religious heritage," Holland recently told a new group of 44 students at the church's Jerusalem center. "The origins of our sacred texts all focus us here."
