JPS Tanakh Holy Scriptures Torah: The Jewish Bible English of Hebrew Text (1985)

Description: This hardcover edition with book jacket was purchased upon publication in 1985 as part of our family's Judaica collection. It appears to have never been used or read, sitting on a book shelf for nearly four decades. It is in new but vintage condition, with the noticeable wear issue is a handful of page corners that folded by less than a ¼" ... most likely during shipping. What an incredible find: a new, never used vintage HARDCOVER edition: The Jewish Publication Society's translation according to the traditional Hebrew text of The Jewish Bible -- the TANAKH. An entirely original translation of the Holy Scriptures into contemporary English, based on the Masoretic -- the traditional Hebrew -- text. The culmination of three decades of collaboration by academic scholars and rabbis representing the three largest branches of organized Judaism in America, the translators made use of the entire range of biblical interpretation, ancient and modern, Jewish and non-Jewish. The result of this monumental task, this 1985 text is considered a landmark of Jewish religious scholarship. Rendered directly from Hebrew to English, Tanakh is unrivaled as a precise and elegant rendering, invaluable for both the casual reader AND serious Bible students. Holy writing is turned into understandable, contemporary language. Included in the 1,624 pages of this ONE VOLUME EDITION is:Table of Scriptural ReadingsAbbreviations and TermsTorah (The Five Books of Moses): Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, DeuteronomyNevi'im (The Prophets): Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, etc.Kethuvim (The Writings): Psalms, Proverbs, Job, The Song of Songs, Ruth, etc. Please take a minute to look at our other auctions.
