There have been at least a hundred people before you who have had the same feeling, in a hundred different ways. So far it remains untranslated.
There are some people here on the forum who are very experienced with the Voynich text, and they can say what may be the problems with your approach. Or maybe confirm that you are the first one who doesn't fall in the same traps as everyone else.
If you are looking for feedback, the best you can do is post an example of how you read the text. If you want people to just believe that you can read the text, you will mostly meet skepticism because well.. each year many people claim they can.

For example, one of the map paths in that area says turn to the side (which could mean the person needs to turn while walking or could mean turn the map). Lots of it makes contextual sense.
The problem is, I can also find words and whole phrases in many other languages using the same VMS glyphs. In one language, I found six words in a row that were not only spelled right but were grammatically perfect.
The way to know if one is on the right track is if a whole chunk of (not just a few words) is amenable to the same system. If a few words work and the ones nearby do not, then it's probably just an artifact of the VMS glyphs resembling consonant-vowel patterns in many languages, or an artifact of adding in vowels (as in abjads) to create valid words.

But check this out: on the Map page in the lower-left corner is what is essentially our Compass Rose with the directional notions; North, South, East & West. With this information alone, someone should be able to translate the Voynich MS into the language that it was written in....ancient perfect Hebrew; including all of it's vowels.

I can read this book and given the next 50 years, I may even be able to have it completely translated by then.
I am looking to have help translating it...as I am not fluent in ancient Hebrew dialect. But I do know for a fact that the words in the Green Diamond on the bottom left corner of the Map are in fact the Compass Rose directional notations for: North, South, East & West. With this knowledge, anyone should be able to translate the Voynich MS (given enough time, that is...lol).

I'm not sure what you mean by green diamond in the bottom-left. This figure on the bottom left is not a diamond nor is it green. In fact, nothing on this folio is green (although there are some splots of slightly greenish-blue):
There is an amber diamond above the bottom-left circle:
Are you referring to this? If not, could you clarify which section you mean?
Ancient Hebrew has been studied by many people, mainly because parts of the original Bible are written in this language. If compass directions are present and readable, why would it take decades to decipher the rest of the manuscript?

How is Poar's name written in the Voynich Manuscript?

I could tell you everything but to tired right now. But message me with any other questions you may have and I will certainly answer them if I am able.

The only possible reason I can think of so far (other than someone who has a lot of free time and isn't bothered by redundancy) is that if it were a strip map, then orientation could change depending on where you are on the path, and maybe the orientation would be repeated in a second place for clarity for this particular strip.
