The Commentators' Bible: Exodus: The Rubin JPS Miqra'ot Gedolot Hardcover – September 1, 2005
Purchase options and add-ons
Thanks to these generous donors for making the publication of this book possible: The Friedman French Foundation.
First published 500 years ago as the “Rabbinic Bible,” the biblical commentaries known as the Miqra’ot Gedolot have inspired and educated generations of Hebrew readers. With this edition, the voices of Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Nachmanides, Rashbam, and other medieval commentators come alive once more, speaking in a contemporary English translation annotated and explicated for lay readers.
Each page of The Commentators’ Bible contains several Hebrew verses from the book of Exodus, surrounded by both the 1917 and 1985 JPS translations and new English translations of the major commentators. This large-format volume is beautifully designed for ease of navigation among the many elements on each page, including explanatory notes and selected additional comments from the works of Bekhor Shor, Hizkuni, Abarbanel, Sforno, Gersonides, and others. JPS is pleased to make available for group study and teaching purposes individual parshiyot (weekly Torah readings) from The Commentators’ Bible.

Michael Carasik has taken a different approach and each page is easy to read and to follow. While the critics who have complained that it is heavily abridged are correct in this assessment (which Carasik freely concedes), he manages to hit the key points in the commentaries; it would be an even larger job to translate and publish ALL the commentaries appearing in the Hebrew versions of Mikra'ot Gedolot. And while it would be nice to have ALL of Ramban's commentaries, these are easily found elsewhere, in Judaica Press's classic translation or the newer Chumash with Ramban's commentaries published a few years ago by Artscroll. But for the English-speaking audience without significant Hebrew-language skills, this book is pretty good, albeit not perfect.
