This review is from: The Interlinear Bible: Hebrew-Greek-English (English, Hebrew and Greek Edition) (Hardcover)

I pre-ordered the August 2005 Edition and I received it on August 1st. I am very pleased with this Interlinear Bible and it is an EXCELLENT reference book.

The print is small, but it is written on bright white paper, which makes it easier to read. The pages are also thicker than my other reference books. It is a very high quality book.

The Strong's numbers are very helpful in determining the true translation of a word, phrase, or verse. Just remember that you need to read the English translation of the Hebrew from right to left. There are two lines of English for every line of Hebrew. So you need to read the English translation switching from one line to another line, per word or phrase.

Anyone who is serious about studying the Word of God should, at minimum, have an Interlinear Bible, Hebrew-Greek-English, by Jay P. Green, and should also have The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Of The Bible, by James Strong. The Strong's Comfort Print Edition, ISBN: 0840720726, has a larger print that makes researching the Strong's numbers a lot easier. I "Highly Recommend" this Interlinear Bible.

1.0 out of 5 stars So Much Potential; So Little Accomplished, January 5, 2009

This review is from: The Interlinear Bible: Hebrew-Greek-English (English, Hebrew and Greek Edition) (Hardcover)

I'm sorry to say that, as a student of Ancient Hebrew for almost ten years, this work has provided some help, but that some is little.

The problems with this work are multiple, and what I cite here is based primarily on only the first 22 chapters of Genesis:

1. Misspelling in the Hebrew text itself.

2. Missing text or letters.

3. Missing Strong's Numbering.

4. Incorrect Strong's Numbering.

5. Hebrew vowel pointing so poorly printed that it is actually not visible.

6. Hebrew consonantal text faded enough to make identification difficult or impossible.

The frequency of these problems is regular, frustratingly so.

This review is from: The Interlinear Bible: Hebrew-Greek-English (English, Hebrew and Greek Edition) (Hardcover)

I have the 1984 edition of this interlinear and it's colored brown but this edition (blue colored) is an exact reprint of that edition.

The print is small and the name Jehovah is used in the Old Testament which is based on the Hebrew version derived from the Massoretic Text. The english translation in the side column is the Young's Literal Translation of the Bible (YLT). Strongs numbers are listed above the words and the book is quite large and bulky.

Some people have mistaken the translation as being the King James Version but this is because the New Testament is derived from the same Greek text as the King James Version - the textus receptus. I would've liked to see the Greek New Testament updated with a more recent Greek version other than the textus receptus. As more ancient copies of the New Testament are found the Greek needs to be updated and the textus receptus being 1516 is in dire need of an update.

Like the King James Version the Young's Literal Translation is prone to the use of the archaic thee, thou, thine and ye. Most interlinears go for a more recent translation such as the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) and it's a pity they didn't do something similar in this version. I took one star off because the publisher should've revised this title rather than just reprint it.

If you're a bible student looking to study the bible I would definately recommend this title keeping in mind of what was mentioned in the review you won't be disappointed.
