| This is a new translation by Jewish scholars. It is based almost entirely on the traditional Hebrew text (Masoretic Text), with very minor exceptions. It does include alternatives in frequent footnotes. Besides its more obvious uses, it is extremely valuable for Christians studying Hebrew scriptures who want to check their renderings against a version that is built on Jewish tradition. | ||||
