Rooted in the historic Leningrad Codex and refined through a 30-year scholarly collaboration, this edition offers unparalleled accuracy, readability, and rich contextual insights, making it an essential resource for Hebrew learners, scholars, and anyone seeking a profound connection to biblical heritage. ## Description The JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH features the oldest-known complete Hebrew version of the Holy Scriptures, side by side with JPS’s renowned English translation. Its well-designed format allows for ease of reading and features clear type, an engaging and efficient two-column format that enables readers to move quickly from one language to another, and an organization that contemporary readers will find familiar. The Hebrew text of this TANAKH is based on the famed Leningrad Codex, the Masoretic text traceable to Aaron ben Moses ben Asher, ca. 930 CE. Ben-Asher researched all available texts to compile an authoritative Bible manuscript. In 1010 CE his work was revised by Samuel ben Jacob, a scribe in Egypt. Lost for centuries, the manuscript was eventually discovered in the mid-nineteenth century and became known as the Leningrad Codex. This edition adapts the latest BHS edition of the Leningrad text by correcting errors and providing modern paragraphing. The English text in this TANAKH is a slightly updated version of the acclaimed 1985 JPS translation. Wherever possible, the results of modern study of the languages and culture of the ancient Near East have been brought to bear on the biblical text, which allows for an English style reflective of the biblical spirit and language rather than of the era of the translation. This edition also includes an informative preface that discusses the history of Bible translation, focusing on the latest JPS English translation of the Holy Scriptures. It is the result of a 30-year interdenominational collaboration of eminent Jewish Bible scholars. Readers are sure to appreciate one of the most intensive projects in the history of The Jewish Publication Society. Review: Useful for the Hebrew learner - I bought this because I wanted to keep up with my Biblical Hebrew, and having the English translation side-by-side would motivate me to read the Hebrew Bible for my quiet time without the hassle of having to constantly look up a separate English Bible. I like it that the font size is fairly large (I think bigger than the BHS), although this does mean that it is quite heavy to carry around. I like it that there are some footnotes as well as showing the ketiv/qere. I highly recommend this for those who are learning Biblical Hebrew! Review: שליימעסדיק! - This is exactly what I was looking for: The most academically sound translation of the Tanakh! It has everything you'll be looking for: The Hebrew text, the English text, numerous footnotes, everything. You can't get much better than JPS's work! Strongly recommend for anyone: Hebrew learners, English religious folk, or simply someone interested in the most impactful book in world history. Thanks much! ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 13,508 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2 in Torah 4 in Jewish Theology 8 in Hebrew Bible | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,550 Reviews | ## Images ![JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ybTn9pzqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful for the Hebrew learner *by P***K on 25 November 2024* I bought this because I wanted to keep up with my Biblical Hebrew, and having the English translation side-by-side would motivate me to read the Hebrew Bible for my quiet time without the hassle of having to constantly look up a separate English Bible.
