About this product

Product Information

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.

Tanakh The Holy Scriptures
Every believer should own a copy of the Tanakh. I have paralled it with the Holy Bible KJV, and found some omissions in the Old Testament. I have started reading the Tanakh instead of the King James Old Testament. The Jewish people and the Jewish Publication Society have painstakingly, and with great sacrifices throughout history to keep every single word of God intact. I am thankful to them for having this text in its completion. I highly recommend this book. The Tanakh is easier to comprehend than some versions of the Holy Bible. It has been well translated from the Hebrew. Buy me!

Authoritative translation that is unusually clear, readable.
An official translation (1985 by a group with authority) it has some helpful definitions and of course a TOC, it is notably "clean" and notably unusually very easily readable. An index (ideally with great detail) would make it a better reference work, were one included.

I have from a leatheret edition of the JPS and it was from Mission Impossible, looking at it caused it to fall apart. This hardbound JPS holds up pretty good.
