4.0 out of 5 stars Unique Translation, May 6, 2003

By	Jorge Quinonez (San Diego) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Goble's translation of the Bible is unique in the world of Bible translations. Unlike David Stern's Complete Jewish Bible, Goble's translation is loaded with Yinglish (Yiddish and English vocabulary).

It appears as though Goble translated it for the very religious Ashkenazi segment of the Jewish population. This translation will not appeal to all (Messianic Jews included), but for those with the prerequisite background it should prove to be welcome addition to anyone's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Orthodox Jewish Bible, April 10, 2005

By	Andrew Hurley (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Phillip presents us with 31 years of work. Includes Translators notes, and references, throughout the text, with every word researched. Also includes 'Notes On Torah', a glossary, a subject based index, a Jewish Calendar with scripture references, some important rabbinic quotations and sources, a messianic Bar Mitzvar, 'Who Is Moshiach?' and 'Moshiach in the Prayerbook'! The OJB is a definative source for the Moshiach. His face will shine upon you as you read.

Regarding it Jewishness; when reading this translation I am 'immersed' in the Jewishness of the Moshiach. Besuras Hageulah According To Mattityahu 17,1:
"So then, there were arbaa asar (fourteen) dorot (generations) from Avraham to Dovid [T.N. Dovid= DVD in Hebrew = [d = 4, v= 6, d = 4] = (4 + 6 + 4 = 14)], and there were arbaa asar dorot from Dovid to the Golus in Babylon, and there were arbaa asar dorot from the Golus in Babylon to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach."

Includes back references to the root, Torah, which builds the foundation of the Brit Chadasha. Besuras Hageulah According To Lukas 2,28: "Then Shimon took him into his arms, saying, Baruch Hashem, and the following: And now, Adonoi, dismiss Your eved in shalom, according to Your dvar (word); Because my eynayim have beheld the Yeshu'at Eloheinu, [YESHAYAH 40:5; 52:10] Which You prepared in the presence of kol haammim (all the peoples), An Ohr (Light) to give hisgalus (revelation) to the Nations and the kavod (glory) of Your Am (people), Yisroel. [YESHAYAH 42:6; 49:6]"

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Orthodox Jewish Bible-an excellent resource, April 22, 2003

By A Customer

This translation of the Bible beautifully displays the Hebrew foundation of Tanakh (Old Testament) and Brit Chadasha (New Testament). For those with a firm background in Hebrew, it brings alive this rich background. For the would-be Hebrew or Bible student, it is excellent to use with an English translation for studying Hebrew and Biblical culture.
