Calvin Kleypas, Stonecrafter

Calvin Kleypas is a master craftsman in stone. He was selected by HaShem Artworks to oversee the fabrication (shaping) and engraving of our granite stone tablets. Mr. Kleypas followed his father into the stone monument business, as his father followed his own father into the business before him. Of the 65 years his family has been turning blocks of granite into works of art in stone, he has spent the past 22 years of his life at this art-craft.

After he hand-shapes and engraves through his own special processes the blank stone tablets, they are no longer just tablets of granite. They are transformed into beautiful works of art, which not only convey the Ten Commandments in a form and format not seen in the world in some 3,500 years, but that contain the very Blessing of Yahweh Elohim, as given in Exodus (Sh’Mot) 20v24, in the same language and with the same letter shapes (the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet) used by Elohim (God) to write them on virtually identical tablets with His Own Finger.

Mr. Kleypas performs his craft in San Antonio, Texas, and lives in one of its suburbs. He is married and has two daughters.

Where Did You Get the Idea for the Two Stone Tablets?

The re-created Two Stone Tablets project exists because we are of the firm conviction that the Elohim (God) of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob has called us to re-create the Two Stone Tablets with the western world’s first authentic replica since the time they were carried off Mount Sinai by Moses (Moshe) some 3500 years ago.

What Do The Two Stone Tablets Look Like?

The re-created Tablets are rough-hewn, just as were the ones written on by the Finger of YHWH. The granite Tablets are about sixteen inches (40cm) wide, about nineteen inches (47.5cm) high, and about two inches (4.7cm) thick. Their coloration is red-brown, with scattered dark splotching as a result of iron oxidation, virtually identical to the color of the granite of the mountain chain where we believe Mount Sinai was located. The Tablets are displayed on a specially designed table with two lazy susans that allow the Tablets to turn freely front to back.

Why Should My Congregation Acquire the Two Stone Tablets?

They are written in the same type of writing (Phoenician Paleo-Hebrew) as was written by the Finger of Elohim—according to Scripture. They contain His own Testimony in His own words as to His Name (Yahweh) and Who He Is—our Eloh (Mighty One); as well as His commandments regarding how we are to live our lives. And when we take His Testimony on its own terms in the original language we will experience a paradigm shift—a shift toward What and Who He is actually is and away from who we want Him to be so that He fits comfortably into our own paradigm.

Since there are no other known places on earth where His Name as He gave it has been remembered in this manner, perhaps the most important consideration for acquiring these authentic Two Stone Tablets is the further testimony given by Yahweh as recorded in Exodus (Sh’Mot) 20v24, “In every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I will come to you and I will bless you.”
