3 out of 5 stars Good Book, Poor Printing   June 16, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

The concept is great. But my major complaint with this book is the printing. A very common problem is that entire words in the text are faded (this is done intentionally to indicate less frequent vocabulary -- e.g. words used in the OT less than 100 times). Since these words are printed only in a very light ghost gray, they look washed out as if there were some sort of inking problem in the printing. Perhaps this is a usefule tool to some, but I found it less than appealing. Other than that, this Hebrew Bible makes for a pleasant alternative to awkward interlinear versions.

Just a beautiful Hebrew Bible for general reading! I'm frankly not sure how they could make it any better. If you are learning Hebrew, be sure to get this one. It will aid your general reading!

I really like this hebrew OT - the type is clear, the footnotes complete and the binding good. I recommend this for pastors who want to keep up on Hebrew and advance in this Biblical language.

5 out of 5 stars Hebrew Bible Review   June 2, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is a most excellent resource for Hebrew scholars. It not only gives you the Hebrew text but it gives you clear references as to the varying meaning of the words in the text when there is differening opinions. A good resource for a Hebrew scholar. A must buy.


5 out of 5 stars My 2nd semester Hebrew classmates agree - 5 stars!   May 29, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

My hermeneutics prof. recommended the Greek Readers' Bible so I thought I would see if there was a Hebrew version. I ordered it on that basis and was extremely pleased. After struggling with the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, I found the font to be much easier to read. Also, the addition of word translations (if word occurs less than 100 times) meant I wasn't going back and forth to Hebrew dictionary - made translation so much more enjoyable I found myself wanting to read beyond assigned passages! Perhaps more advanced students might find it lacking in scholarly references, but 2nd semester students agree - Reader's makes reading Hebrew fun!
