Read our customer guide Regarded throughout the English-speaking
world as the standard English translation of the Holy Scriptures,
the JPS TANAKH has been acclaimed by scholars, rabbis, lay leaders,
Jews, and Christians alike. The JPS TANAKH is an entirely original
translation of the Holy Scriptures into contemporary English, based
on the Masoretic (the traditional Hebrew) text. It is the
culmination of three decades of collaboration by academic scholars
and rabbis, representing the three largest branches of organized
Judaism in the United States. Not since the third century b.c.e.,
when 72 elders of the tribes of Israel created the Greek
translation of Scriptures known as the Septuagint has such a
broad-based committee of Jewish scholars produced a major Bible
translation. In executing this monumental task, the translators
made use of the entire range of biblical interpretation, ancient
and modern, Jewish and non-Jewish. They drew upon the latest
findings in linguistics and archaeology, as well as the work of
early rabbinic and medieval commentators, grammarians, and
philologians. The resulting text is a triumph of literary style and
biblical scholarship, unsurpassed in accuracy and clarity. Ebook
versions of this title may be purchased from most ebook vendors.
