NOTE: The recordings open in this same window (using whatever is your default player, such as Quicktime),
so if you want to follow along by reading the text, open the document first: it will come up in a separate Adobe Reader window. 
Then come back to this window and click a link to play a recording.  Hit the Back button to return to this page.)

Chapter Recordings:   
(The Hebrew of the first five verses of Chapter 1 is from Joshua Jacobson, chanting the hebrew bible.
There are also verses by Jacobson chanted to special melodies: 1:22, 2:4, 2:15, 2:17, 2:23, 4:14, 5:7, 6:1, 6:10, 7:3, 7:10, 8:15, 8:16, 10:2, 10:3).
I use these same melodies in my English versions.)
