Cara ibadah sholat para nabi & umat terdahulu sebelum Islam

Seorang pendeta yahudi (Rabi) bernama Hayim Halevy Donin menulis buku berjudul "To Pray as a Jew” (sembahyang cara yahudi) mengungkap cara sembahyang yahudi kuno sesuai yg tertera di Torah atau Bible (Injil) dan hanya sebagian kecil yahudi ortodoks yg masih melakukannya hingga kini
buku tsb juga menampilkan gambar cara ibadah yahudi yang sebenarnya.

Berikut ini sebagian ayat Bible (Injil) yang diterangkan sang Rabi di buku tsb:
