Helpful for reading April 19, 2008

This Hebrew Bible is one I can take to church and use without worrying about looking up unusual words. You need a couple of semesters of Hebrew first, but then this OT is great for use in class or at church. There is no critical apparatus, but BHS's apparatus is so sparse anyway, and I don't need it most of the time.
A must have resource! April 18, 2008

My Hebrew instructor just introduced us to this Bible recently and I am very impressed with it. It is especially helpful if one is doing an inductive approach to learning biblical Hebrew. I appreciate not needing to spend so much time trying to find obscure words or proper names and being able to focus more on reading fluency. It is a must have resource! I only wish that it had been available last fall when I started my studies!
very good for the reader April 18, 2008

You still need a background in hebrew syntax, but this keeps you having to look up every other word in a lexicon, saving a lot of time. Very good Bible.
More than I hoped for! April 11, 2008

After owning the Reader's Greek NT and loving how helpful it was I desperatly wanted something like it for the Hebrew Bible. This is more than I expected, being doubtful as to how the editors would handle all the stems, variety in manuscripts, and other complications that Hebrew brings, while adding a gloss for each word appearing less than 100 times, I didn't want to lose too much. I was not let down at all, because although there is no textual apparatus, the authors were VERY thorough in how they handled the glosses and discrepencies between manuscripts. Just read the long introduction (if you can make it through!) to see just how careful they were. By the way, the faded words are proper nouns that appear less than 100 times. If they included these all in the gloss at the bottom of the page the book would be huge! Its there so you don't mistake it for another word, just figure it out by vocalization. The glossery in the back along with an appendix containing the differences between the BHS and WLC make this an incredible work. Concerning the cover, it is basically the same as the Reader's GNT, and that has withstood 2 years in my backback every day. I'm not too worried.

Worth every penny! Excellent format. Size is comparable to a study Bible--a little big, but its value surpasses that downside.
