Romanian to Hebrew, not Romanian through English into Hebrew
The failure this pair actually has is not accuracy — it is relay. A model left to itself will quietly route Romanian through English and hand back Hebrew that is word-for-word correct and sounds like nothing anybody says. Every language here is told to translate directly rather than pivot; Hebrew is the only one that also carries a register note of its own, because the plain behaviour was wrong here in a specific, observable way.
Direct, idiomatic Hebrew, in the register the words belong to
Hebrew is the only output language that carries a register instruction of its own, and on a worship account it tells the model to produce natural modern Hebrew rather than a calque or a relay through another language, and to use the customary biblical and liturgical forms for religious vocabulary — the standard Hebrew words for congregation, blessing, repentance, salvation and amen, rather than whatever a general translation would reach for. That note exists because the plain behaviour was wrong in a specific, observable way, not as a flourish.

Where Romanian to Hebrew comes up
Small audiences, and words that have a right form.
Congregations with Hebrew speakers
An Old Testament passage comes from the Tanakh and a New Testament one from the Delitzsch translation. Hebrew is the only language here whose two testaments are drawn from different books, which is simply how they are read.
Visitors and groups from Israel
A group visiting for a week never justifies booking an interpreter. Enable Hebrew for the visit; a language nobody selects opens nothing and is not charged.
Reading rather than listening
Hebrew captions lay out right-to-left, and the reader sets their own text size and contrast. A listener who prefers to read gets a page built for the script rather than one that fights it.
Common questions
Do the captions read right to left?
Yes. The listener page switches its text direction when Hebrew is the selected language, so the captions lay out the way the script is written rather than being poured into a left-to-right column. The reader also sets their own text size and contrast, and can turn the audio off and read only.
Which Bible is used for Hebrew?
Two, because the two halves are not the same book: the Hebrew Scriptures for Old Testament passages and the Delitzsch Hebrew New Testament for New Testament ones. Hebrew is the only one of the five named languages split that way. Like every scripture instruction here, it applies on a worship account.
Does it translate through English on the way?
It is explicitly told not to, and so is every other language: the instruction to translate directly rather than pivot through a third language goes to all of them. What Hebrew has on top is the only per-language register note on the platform, whose first line is to produce direct idiomatic Hebrew rather than a word-by-word calque. That note was added because the behaviour without it was noticeably wrong in exactly that way.
The audience is usually very small. Is that a problem?
No. There is no minimum audience, no equipment and no per-seat licence, and a language is metered only while somebody is actually listening to it. A visit where three people use Hebrew costs what three people listening costs, and the months with no visit cost nothing because credits do not expire.
