Isaiah's Closing Arguments: A New Translation Laurance Wieder

Isaiahs sacred poetry transcends place, time, and doctrine. Isaiah's Closing Arguments is a new translation of all the prophet's Haftorot (singular: Haftarah) chanted on Sabbath mornings and on special occasions. Part one contains Isaiah's verses which accompany the first three chapters of Genesis, two chapters of Exodus, the first chapter of Leviticus, and the opening of Deuteronomy. The second group of poems are also known as the seven Haftorot of Consolation. The final orations are read on Yom Kippur, on the last day of Passover, on the Sabbath before Tisha B'Av, and to proclaim the New Moon.
