Product Description

The Samaritan community's culture and religion is unique in the world. The Samaritans share an origin with Jews, but the two peoples diverged thousands of years ago, already in Biblical times. The Samaritans consider only the Pentateuch to be a holy book; the rest of the Hebrew Scriptures are no more a part of the Samaritan Bible than the Christian New Testament is a part of the Jewish Bible. The Samaritan version of the Torah differs in several ways from the Jewish Masoretic version, and those differences are the purpose of this book. Both texts are given, in modern Square Hebrew script, on facing pages. Minor variations between the two texts are printed in boldface type slightly larger than the ordinary text, while major variations are printed not only in boldface but also slightly larger than the minor variations. Readers will find this text to be an intriguing window on ancient Israelite society, from which came both the Jews and the Samaritans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great job! Great book!, December 12, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
It was obvious that someone one day will compare there two Torahs, the Hebrew and Samaritan, and it suprised me why it took so long. And at last here is this book: in a simple, clear and readable way it compares the two version of this jewel of the human culture, the Torah, all this without taking any theological stand, withou expressing any personal opinion, just the great technical work of exact comparison leaving the reader to deduct whatever conclusions he wants. The book is printed in a very clear font, it is easily readable in its Samatitan part (it is in Hebrew letters) and it contains some basic introduction into the Samaritan writing just to give a reader the taste of the original.
The Samaritan culture was almost forgotten and this book will undoubtfully be an additional brick to rebuild the Samaritan historical heritage, as well as another tribute to the Jewish Torah, the crown of the Jewish nation.
