• Below is a table showing the progress on my project to read the OT, LXX & NT in the original Hebrew and Greek.
• As of the beginning of August 2025, this project is in abeyance (again). I've decided to enhance my grammatical knowledge of Greek and Hebrew before proceding further.
• The table below has been corrected to reflect the second intermission. The Revised End Date is calculated as 'today' plus the amount of time needed to complete the tasks at the rate achieved during the second period of activity. Hence, it will advance by one day a day until I restart.
• The explanation after the first intermission is as below.
  1. I'm on my first pass through the OT & LXX and my second pass through the NT.
  2. I intermitted this project between August 2023 and April 2024 (inclusive; ie. 9 months); as well as deferring completion by 9 months, this has thrown out my completion-date algorithms somewhat. For now, I've amended the Completion Aims to reflect the intermission.
  3. I've calculated and used the daily rate of progress achieved prior to intermission to calculate the estimated completion date.
  4. I don't now have as much time to spare, so - as expected - this rate has fallen since the restart.
  5. I've therefore also calculated and used the daily rate of progress achieved since intermission to calculate the revised completion date.
• I've also read through the Koran, but mostly in English. One day I'll try to read the Koran in Arabic, maybe. Progress on this, and on my first run-through of the NT, is recorded in versions of this report prior to 25Q3.
