Most accurate text of Mishneh Torah all in one volume HERE. Most accurate text of Mishneh Torah available for reading online HERE on Mechon-Mamre.org and HERE with automatic Hebrew/English translator. As stated on Machon-Mamre.org's "About" page, "Mishneh Torah
was the first, and is still the only, full codification of all of the divine laws of the special covenant between the LORD
YHWH and Israel as well as the general Noachide covenant between the LORD YHWH and the Gentiles (no, we do not mean the so-called
"New Testament"), with all of the rabbinic legislation developed in accordance with those laws: for all people, for
all places, and for all times (until the reestablishment of the Sanhedrin in Israel--may we be blessed to reestablish
it, in our time!)."

" Netzarim Resources" ( Not reflective of mainstream Orthodox Jewish perspective; Regardless, I am convinced that
for Christians seeking information on the origins & developement of Christianity, the books on this page are a MUST.
The Christian should only keep in mind that not everything presented in these books represent what most Orthodox Jews believe,
as far as history is concerned.)

[**WARNING: Although certainly there is what to be learned from this, please note that the author,
while helping to remove misunderstanding from Yeshua, adds to misunderstanding of "Pharisaic Judaism" and this aspect of Yeshua's
teachings.]
Quote from their site: "An astonishing realization has recently gripped the Christian world: "Jesus Christ" was not a
blond-haired, blue-eyed Gentile. Yeshua of Nazareth was raised in an observant Jewish family in a culture where the Torah
(five books of Moses) was the National Constitution. Yeshua's teachings, which supposedly form the basis for Western Christianity,
are now filtered through 2000 years of traditions born in ignorance of the land, language, and culture of the Bible. The issues
over which Yeshua wrestled with the Pharisees are simply not understood by modern Christians; nor are his most important instructions
followed by those who claim to be his disciples."
