Hi, my name is Roberto, but most people call me Robert. I am one of many who want to know about our Creator and His message to us. 

About The Source Study

I am a fellow seeker of the truth.

I love our Creator, and like many of you, I have spent a lifetime reading the Bible. But over time, I realized something that changed how I approach the Word: most translations are, by their very nature, interpretations.

To make the Bible sound "nice" or "poetic" for English readers, translators often paraphrase. In that process, a vast amount of information is lost. The raw power, the complex grammar, and the specific nuances of the original Hebrew are often smoothed away, leaving us with a version that is easy to read but disconnected from the source.

I wanted to go back to the source.

Why This Site Exists

I started The Source Study because I want to know the Creator through His own words, unfiltered. I don’t want a translation that tells me what to think; I want to see the "DNA" of the text itself.

I know that most people don’t have the time to sit down and learn ancient Hebrew grammar or dissect every verse word-for-word. Because I am doing this work for my own walk with Him, I felt a calling to share it with anyone else who is hungry for the truth.

How to Use This Study

This isn’t a typical devotional site. My translations may sometimes be "difficult" to read because I do not paraphrase. I prioritize the literal structure of the Hebrew over the "smoothness" of the English.

For every verse, you will find:

  • The Original Hebrew: The text exactly as it was written.
  • English Literal Translation: A word-for-word rendering with minimal paraphrase.
  • Romanized Hebrew: The Hebrew words written in the Roman alphabet so you can follow along.
  • The Audio Proclamation: A player where you can hear the Hebrew read out loud.
  • The Deep Dive: An explanation of the grammar and how the Hebrew mechanics compare to English.

Let’s Seek Together

I am not a distant scholar; I am a student alongside you. I am simply a person who believes that every "jot and tittle" of the Hebrew Bible matters. If you are looking for the truth that lies beneath the surface of traditional translations, I invite you to join me in this verse-by-verse journey back to the source.
