I am preparing a study edition of key prophetic passages and require them rendered between English and Biblical Hebrew in a strictly literal, word-for-word style. Because the text touches on themes vital to both Jewish and Christian theology, I need a scholar who is at home in both traditions—someone able to respect Masoretic vocalisation, recognise Septuagint nuances where relevant, and still hear the echoes a modern Christian reader will expect.

The assignment is straightforward yet demanding:

• Translate the selected prophecy excerpts literally, preserving every syntactic turn and idiomatic nuance even when it sounds awkward in modern idiom.
• Maintain verse numbering exactly as supplied.
• Flag unavoidable interpretive choices in concise footnotes; no commentary beyond what is necessary to justify a lexical decision.
• Deliver in an editable Word document and parallel PDF, with Hebrew right-to-left layout correctly formatted.

I will supply the source text and any reference scans once we start. Accuracy, textual reverence, and clean formatting are the benchmarks for acceptance. If your background straddles both Tanakh scholarship and New-Testament-aware theology, I look forward to working with you.
