Who is Rahabi Ezekiel?

Rabbi Rahabi Ezekiel, or Ezekiel Rahabi, was a rabbinical writer known only through his polemical Hebrew translation of the New Testament - The Book of the Gospel Belonging to the Followers of Jesus.

The translation is "in an uneven and faulty Hebrew with a strong anti-Christian bias." Oo 1:32 reads: "Heaven is my witness that I have not translated this, God forfend, to believe it, but to understand it and know how to answer the heretics . . . that our true Messiah will come. Amen." The 1750 edition appears to be the work of two different translators - a less educated Sephardi writer and a more educated German rabbi.
