We have been seeking to discover as many things as we can about the ancient writings commonly called scripture as well as the writings that accompanied the scrolls which would eventually end up in a single book! We have researched by digging into many different sources to discover what we believe are the manuscripts essential to every believer's quest to find the true meaning of our existence.

The Cepher team has worked tirelessly to bring new life to the ancient texts by restoring the names of the people and places found in the scriptures and presenting them as they are actually pronounced (we call it transliteration). We have restored over 3,100 names and places, and although some are a little tricky to pronounce, once you get the hang of it, it brings a sense of adventure and discovery! We’ve also presented the books within sections according to the chronological order or their writing.
We offer our flagship publication, the את Cepher, as the centerpiece of our work. This collection features not sixty-six books, or even eighty-one books as found in the Authorized Version of the King James Bible, but eighty-seven books! One thing the KJV guys did not have when they were working back in 1611 was access to the Dead Sea Scrolls, which weren't discovered until 1948! We figured the text could use a little updating to include ancient writings such as Chanoch (Enoch) and Yovheliym (Jubilees).
Of course, the Cepher isn’t our only work, as we have gathered some of the other writings which typically do not appear in any single collection of sacred scripture: writings like the Shepherd of Hermas, the Didache, the Ascents of James, the Books of Adam and Eve, the Testimony of Moses and so on. We thought many of you would like to have these books in hard copy, and so we created the Cepheriym, affectionately known as Dr. P’s Library Collection. These additional books make for a great collection of works that are often otherwise published separately, and of course, in different sizes and shapes. Now, you can find them all in one place!
The את Cepher, unlike other manuscripts, does not dilly-dally when it comes to setting forth a pronunciation of the tetragrammaton. Most modern-day texts hedge their bet when it comes to the name of the Creator by presenting it in the Hebrew or even Paleo-Hebrew form. There's nothing wrong with that approach, but the reader comes away still not knowing how to pronounce it! We solve that by setting it forth in English.
You will find exciting new discussions concerning the age-old stories you might remember: stories about the sacrifice of Yitshaq (Isaac), or the loss of Yoceph (Joseph), the dream of Avraham (Abraham), or the work of Ezra in securing the word. In addition, because the את Cepher includes all four books of the Makkabiym (Maccabees), you can also see what happened to the prophecy given in Daniy'el (Daniel) 11.
Of course, we all remember the crazy questions that no one could answer, like who did Cain marry, and so on. That's where the book of Yovheliym (Jubilees) comes in by providing many missing details that may surprise you. Once you’ve read it, you may experience a sense of satisfaction that comes from having finally found an answer!
The את Cepher is also a great family collectable. At the back of the book there is ample space to record your family history, going back seven generations or so.
We pray the את Cepher will be blessing to you and your family.
