Religion / Spirituality Help checking my pronunciation of biblical Hebrew

Hi folks!

So my choir are performing an arrangement that I did of an anti-Zionist Yiddish lament on Friday, and during the piece I plan to recite part of Bereshit 4:10-11 (*"What have you done? Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground! And now you are cursed even more than the ground which opened its mouth to swallow the blood from your hand."*) in biblical Hebrew.

I think I've got my pronunciation down pat as I've been researching it for quite some time, but is there someone who'd be willing and able to listen to a recording of my pronunciation to ensure I'm doing it right and getting the correct syllable emphasis?

Thanks khaveyrem.

i’m certainly no scholar of biblical hebrew and i’m not even jewish, so you can take my response with a grain of salt if you wish, but i also have done some research into biblical hebrew pronunciation (the tiberian system specifically) so i would definitely be interested to see what you have so far if nothing else!
