Voice setup help

Read uses your browser’s device speech, without a provider key. Studio creates media through a paid provider using your own key. INjeel cannot install voices or guarantee any accent, language, or Syriac voice. System settings and voices exposed to a browser can differ.

iPhone and iPad: In Settings → Accessibility, look for Read & Speak → Voices (called Spoken Content on older versions). Choose a language and dialect. For downloadable enhanced voices, Apple also documents VoiceOver → Speech → Add New Language; choose a voice/quality and allow the download to finish on Wi-Fi. You do not need to enable VoiceOver to use INjeel. Apple’s current guide · iOS/iPadOS voice downloads

Android: Open Settings → Accessibility → Text-to-speech output. Choose the preferred engine and language; use its voice-data/download options where available. Names and paths vary by manufacturer/engine; search Settings for “text-to-speech” if needed. Google’s settings and voice-data guide

macOS: Apple menu → System Settings → Accessibility → Read & Speak. Choose System voice; open its additional voice controls to browse languages, country/region variants and downloadable voices. Wait until downloads finish, then choose the voice. Older versions may use Spoken Content. Apple’s Mac voice guide

Return here and reopen the voice selector. If new voices do not appear, refresh or reopen the app/browser. Select the voice and adjust Speed here; a system default need not override an explicit app selection. Android browsers may use their speech engine rather than a forced voice. Some voices use network services; availability and pronunciation depend on your device/browser, not the scripture’s historical pronunciation.

The book of the birth of Y'shua the Mashiyach, the son of Dawid, the son of Avraham.¹

Study ܟܬܒܐ ܕܝܠܝܕܘܬܗ — “the book of his birth.” Yaliduta is the same family of words as the Hebrew toledoth, a generation or nativity. Murdock chose “nativity.” The subscription at the end of the gospel says Matthew published it in Hebrew in Palestine. In Syriac Christian use, “Hebrew” often means the Jewish language of the land, which was Aramaic.

Avraham fathered Yitz'chak. Yitz'chak fathered Ya'akov. Ya'akov fathered Yehuda and his brothers.

Yehuda fathered Perets and Zarach from Tamar. Perets fathered Chetsron. Chetsron fathered Aram.

Aram fathered Aminadab. Aminadab fathered Nachshon. Nachshon fathered Salmon.

Salmon fathered Boaz from Rachab. Boaz fathered Obed from Ra'ut. Obed fathered Ishai.

Ishai fathered Dawid the king. Dawid fathered Shlemun from the wife of Uriya.

Shlemun fathered Rechav'am. Rechav'am fathered Aviya. Aviya fathered Asa.

Asa fathered Yehoshaphat. Yehoshaphat fathered Yoram. Yoram fathered Uziya.

Uziya fathered Yotam. Yotam fathered Achaz. Achaz fathered Chizqiya.

Chizqiya fathered Menasha. Menasha fathered Amon. Amon fathered Yoshiya.

Yoshiya fathered Yokaniya and his brothers in the captivity of Bavel.

And after the captivity of Bavel, Yokaniya fathered Shelatiel. Shelatiel fathered Zurbavel.

Zerubbabel fathered Abiud; Abiud fathered Eliakim; Eliakim fathered Azor.

Azor fathered Zadok; Zadok fathered Achim; Achim fathered Eliud.

Eliud fathered Eleazar; Eleazar fathered Matthan; Matthan fathered Ya'akov.

Ya'akov fathered Yosip, the husband of Maryam, from whom was born Y'shua who is called the Mashiyach.¹

Study ܓܒܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܕܡܢܗ ܐܬܝܠܕ — “her husband, from whom was born.” The “from whom” is feminine: it points to Maryam, not to Yosip. The line does not say Yosip begot Y'shua.

So all the generations from Avraham to Dawid are fourteen generations, and from Dawid to the captivity of Babel fourteen generations, and from the captivity of Babel to the Mashiyach fourteen generations.

Now the birth of Y'shua the Mashiyach was like this. When his mother Maryam was betrothed to Yosip, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Ruach haKodesh.

Yosip her husband was a just man and did not want to expose her, and he was minded to put her away secretly.

And while he was thinking these things, a messenger of Master YHWH appeared to him in a dream and said to him, Yosip son of Dawid, do not fear to take Maryam your wife, for that which is begotten in her is from the Ruach haKodesh.

She will bear a son, and she will call his name Y'shua, for he will give life to his people from their sins.¹

Study The name ܝܫܘܥ is explained by the verb ܢܚܝܘܗܝ, “he will make them live,” from the root for life. The English says he will give life to his people, not that he will “save” them in the Latin sense.

Now all this that happened was so that what was spoken by Master YHWH through the prophet might be fulfilled:

A virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and they will call his name Ammanu'el, which is interpreted, Our Elohim with us.¹

Study ܒܬܘܠܬܐ is “virgin,” not only a young woman. ܥܡܢܘܐܝܠ is then interpreted in the verse itself: ܥܡܢ ܐܠܗܢ, “our Elohim with us.”

And when Yosip rose from his sleep, he did as the messenger of Master YHWH commanded him, and took his wife.

And he did not know her until she had borne her firstborn son, and she called his name Y'shua.

The announcement of Matthew. The subscription says he published it in Hebrew, in the land of the Palestinians.
