The Academic & Translational Standard,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hebrew Bible-FL (Paperback)
The importance of BHS is not necessarily its version of the Masora (edited by Gerard Weil) or textual notes (the part that varies from edition to edition), but that its text is the basis for the last generation (thirty years) of commentaries, translations, articles, monographs, &c., so that anyone who wants to use these tools knowledgeably needs to refer to the text of BHS in their own study, just as those who want to compare their favourite translation to the Hebrew or Aramaic text--a common motivation for students of Biblical Hebrew--needs to look at BHS.My rating of four stars reflects my own irritation with the numerous gratuitous textual footnotes based on an editor's concept of what Hebrew poetry (for example) should look like, and the editorial decision to represent (arrange) certain passages in otherwise narrative books as poetry. If one ignores the textual notes, of course, the former is not an issue, and as long as the reader remembers that the manuscript upon which this is based does not reflect "poetic" layout, the latter concern is also laid aside.

BHS paperback edition,
By
This review is from: Hebrew Bible-FL (Paperback)
A clearly printed, well-bound version of the BHS. The main drawback, in exchange for the compact size compared with the full-size, hardback edition, is that the Masorah Parva notes in the margins and the footnotes are so small that they are very difficult to read. A magnifying glass is required to ease the eye strain. While the price for this edition is attractive, I wish I had purchased the full-size, hardback edition.

This review is from: Hebrew Bible-FL (Paperback)
I love my new Hebrew Bible! Although it is paper back, it is totally worth the price that I paid.
