Darap: Christians should buy this Bible. Most Christians don't know what is a Tanakh

FlorelleFlorelle: My rating is purely for the askewed pages,😬 not the content, which is excellent‼️Numerous slanted pages (about 90%). A shame really. I would have sent it back if I had noticed earlier, and bought another one, hoping that this one is a one-off💁🏾 Plus the pages are soo thin that you can see what’s written on the other side🙁

Rama Rao: The Hebrew Bible was written in three different ancient languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Although a modern version of each of these languages is spoken today, most modern readers would have difficulty with the ancient versions of biblical texts. Ancient Hebrew was spoken by Jews, and the language of Old Testament. Isaiah 19:18 calls it “the language of Canaan,” while other verses label it “Judean” and “language of the Jews” (2 Kings 18:26; Isaiah 36:11, 13; 2 Chronicles 32:18; Nehemiah 13:24). Ancient Aramaic originated in northern Syria was widely used during the Assyrian rule. A few passages in the Old Testament were written in Aramaic (Genesis 31:47; Ezra 4:8-6:18, 7:12-26; Jeremiah 10:11). It was very popular in the ancient Israel and was commonly spoken in Jesus’ time.

In this book, a translation of the Hebrew Bible is rendered truthful to the beliefs and spirit of the ancient Jews expressed in Torah, first five books of the Bible. They are the books of the Law given to Moses. The other major sections are the Prophets (Nevi'im), and the Kethuvim (Writings). A brief history may be relevant in understanding the translations of this book. The...

Matthew Boulton: This Tanakh is the version used in many progressive synagogues. The page numbers correspond to the printed versions so I found it very easy to find the pages for every Shabbat service - both for the Torah portion and the Haftarah reading. Unlike Singer's Chumach, it not only has all the 5 books of Moses (the 'Ta' part of the title) but also all the prophets (the 'na' of the title) but also the 'Ketuvim' which are sometimes used as Haftarah portions or on other occasions, eg. Ruth, on Shavuot.
The only slightly annoying thing was trying to incorporate the bookmark on my Kindle, but that is probably my inexperience in using my Kindle and my poor touch control, due to old age!
I would heartily recommend this to anyone wishing a more portable version of the blue JPS Tanakh, as it is much easier to carry around and also page turning is easier than in the printed version.
If you are unfamiliar with the JPS Tanakh, new translation, you probably won't like the use of modern English and in some places a rather free translation - there is no 'thee' and 'thou' and it is more gender friendly, but that is a theological issue for you and has nothing to do with the actual print or...
