Read our customer guide Bound in navy leatherette with gilded edges
and navy satin ribbon; padded binding. 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.
