Before getting started, let’s review a few notes …
*This work mostly uses British spelling, except for the quoted material, which often employs U.S. spelling.
*The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, also rendered as Yahweh
or Jehovah.
*The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).
*Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.
*As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.
