Who Baptized Whom? What the Hebrew Manuscripts Reveal About What Really Happened at the Jordan River

Revelation Chapter 12 — Hebrew Interlinear Workbook

Uncover the Woman, the Dragon, and the War in Heaven — Word by Word, Straight from the Cochin Manuscripts

From The Cochin Manuscript

When a Brooklyn hardware merchant asked Jonathan Felt if he wanted to immerse a pot in rainwater, it sparked a question his translation team couldn't shake: the same Hebrew verb used for koshering dishes — taval — is the verb used for what happened at the Jordan River. So what was John's actual role?

Drawing on five Hebrew manuscripts of Luke, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Mishnah, and Torah purification law, this essay traces a pattern that holds from Genesis to the Gospels: the person needing purification always immerses themselves. Never once, outside a single instance, is it someone else who dunks them.

Step into one of the most dramatic chapters in Scripture — now available in a full Hebrew interlinear study format, drawn directly from the ancient Cochin manuscripts of the Hebrew New Testament (Cambridge MS Oo.1.16.2 and Gaster MS 1616).

"A great thing is seen again in the heavens: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon beneath her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." (Revelation 12:1)

From the woman crowned with stars, to the great dragon with seven heads and ten horns, to Michael and his messengers casting Satan out of heaven — this workbook walks you through all 17 verses with:

✅ Verse-by-verse English translation from the original Hebrew
✅ High-resolution manuscript page images for every verse
✅ Full Hebrew transcription, verified by a team of scholars and translators
✅ Word-for-word interlinear charts with grammar, parsing, and meaning
✅ Scholarly footnotes comparing spellings and phrases to Second Temple sources like The War of the Jews, Letter of Aristeas, and The Midrash of Philo
✅ Side-by-side manuscript comparisons showing where the Cambridge and Gaster texts differ

This isn't a paraphrase or a modern gloss — it's a direct window into how these ancient Hebrew-speaking communities in Cochin, India preserved and transmitted the words of Revelation.

Whether you're a Hebrew student, a serious Bible researcher, or simply hungry to read Scripture the way it was written, this workbook gives you the tools to study Revelation 12 at the deepest level — right down to the ink on the page.
