Most translators did not grow up with Biblical Hebrew as a living language, the Torah was meant to be chanted, and reading continuity is interrupted by footnotes and margin notes.

In today's society, Jew and non-Jew alike know little about the spectrum of practices and beliefs that are called Judaism. Few Jews can answer these questions: What is an Orthodox, a Conservative, a Reform Jew? Why are there different viewpoints within Judaism? How did these different viewpoints come about? Few Christians can answer these questions: What did Jesus, the Jew, believe? How did Jesus, the Jew, practice Judaism? What is the Jewish mindset of the world of 2,000 years ago? What is the range of today's American or Israeli Jewish mindset?
