En savoir plus sur le livre
The 'JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH' presents the oldest complete Hebrew version of the Holy Scriptures alongside JPS’s esteemed English translation. Its user-friendly format features clear type and a two-column layout that facilitates easy navigation between languages, appealing to contemporary readers. The Hebrew text is derived from the Leningrad Codex, a Masoretic text compiled by Aaron ben Moses ben Asher around 930 CE, who meticulously researched available manuscripts to create an authoritative version. In 1010 CE, Samuel ben Jacob revised this work, which was lost for centuries until its rediscovery in the mid-19th century. This edition utilizes the latest BHS version of the Leningrad text, correcting errors and modernizing paragraphing. The English translation is an updated version of the acclaimed 1985 JPS translation, incorporating insights from recent studies of ancient Near Eastern languages and cultures to reflect the biblical spirit. An informative preface discusses the history of Bible translation and the collaborative effort of eminent Jewish scholars over 30 years. This edition represents one of the most significant projects in the history of The Jewish Publication Society, promising to enrich readers' understanding of the Scriptures.
