Tree of Life - Messianic Torah (Bible)



Brand New Professionally Vetted Text:

With God’s help, our team has assembled a brand new English translation of the New Covenant using the 27th Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece and over a dozen additional resources including every mainstream,vetted English Bible translation.  

Plus, we especially enjoyed learning from the work of the HNV scholars, and the work of David Stern in the Complete Jewish Bible.  Our fervent hope was to render a messianic sensitive text that would be as accurate as the NASB, as reverent as the NKJV, and as readable as the NIV.  

We pray our effort is worthy of the great and mighty God we serve.  We stand in awe of His Name.


The Messianic Jewish Family Bible (MJFB) is a not-for-profit that produces the Tree of Life Bible version (TLV). 

This brand new translation is a fully vetted Biblical text put together by Messianic Jews and Christians. 

It is our goal to provide this new translation as a resource to the community while gathering families to study the word of God together. 

We seek to spread the Good News of Yeshua Messiah abroad to all mankind.

"...entrusted with the sayings of God."

Rabbi Paul, in the Book of Romans, reminded the mixed crowd of new believers, Jew and Gentile alike, that the Jewish people were charged with the task of preserving the Holy Scriptures from their very first calling as a “people.”

In May 2008, this project started as the desire of one small group of Rabbis’ wives hoping to publish a Messianic Jewish Children’s Bible. Instead, God breathed on this spark and He revitalized our “people” in a move so powerful it reunited families, restored dialog between our organizations and gave our movement a fresh vision of what we could accomplish TOGETHER. We desire to be a living epistle to both our devoted Christian brethren and our beloved Jewish global family.
Originally, our desire to use “Messiah Yeshua” instead of “Jesus Christ” and the Jewish book order instead of the Christian book order for the Old Testament seemed meager goals. Few of us had any idea how big the chasm between our worlds was. But, make no mistake, Christianity is based on Judaism. There is so much more that connects us than divides us, and this text is in the homestretch!

Since our inception: a children’s Bible became a family Bible, one translator multiplied into 25, a $5000 check gave seed to $250,000 in donations, a single translation became a collaborative work, the Greek sentence structure was restored to Hebrew sentence structure, faith turned into a verb instead of a noun, salvation became Yeshua, and peace became shalom.

Listed inside are the benchmarks of our miraculous growth. There is plenty more information on our website and Facebook page. And, we encourage you to read the Tree of Life New Covenant to travel a faith journey of your own.
The goal of our 501(c)(3) organization is to translate, guard and preserve a brand new Messianic Jewish Biblical Text for generations. With Destiny Image publishing this text, they will move it into the national marketplace.
As the keepers of the text, WE will make the Good News available on the internet and cell phones for free for the entire world. We stand with Rabbi Paul. We are “not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who trusts—to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
