5.0 out of 5 stars ACCURATELY TRANSLATED; VERY CONSISTENT, January 22, 2003
By reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews
The translator of this version of "The Torah" deserve commendation for a job well-done. Its accuracy is consistent with the original Jewish scripts, from which it emanated. Also, the translator did his best in sticking to contemporary English: thus, making it easy for readers to understand.
I would readily recommend this version to any English speaker who has interest in the book. Both Jews and non-Jews who know one or two things about The Bible (i.e.: the Old Testament), and/or The Koran, would not read long before inferring that the spiritual accounts narrated in these holy books have got more similarities than differences.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT a New King James Translation..., May 13, 2001
By A Customer
This is an obviously carefully researched translation that adheres to Jewish texts, rather than the twice-translated greek that European Bibles descend from. Note the entirely different translation of the First Commandment, using "murder" instead of "kill", an all-important distinction in every way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good translation, August 4, 2006
I bought this as I'm beginning to study Judaism in my spiritual journey. The book is very well translated and includes recommendations for readings on holidays. There are also pictures throughout the book from various times and locations.

I'm also very pleased with this since it's in a paragraph format (as someone who's only read the "Hebrew Bible" as part of the Old Testament I like the ease of reading with the paragraph format).

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
