Artscroll English Tanach-OE-Stone : desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Orthodox but fresh translation, pretty book - This is a really interesting and unusual translation, it's orthodox in its leaning and yet also very poetic and has quite a fresh, lively feel to the language in comparison to something like the NRSV. It also happens to be a lovely object as a book, one of the prettiest books on my bookshelf. Review: Stunning. English only. Beautiful font. Clearly laid out sections. - Stunning. Clear English font and print. Very good expressive English. Beautiful cover design. Came as reddish brown and gold which I prefer rather than black. Fabulous layout of paragraphs and sections. Arrived quickly and very well packed and protected by Manor House Books. Nice work. Very pleased.

Orthodox but fresh translation, pretty book
This is a really interesting and unusual translation, it's orthodox in its leaning and yet also very poetic and has quite a fresh, lively feel to the language in comparison to something like the NRSV. It also happens to be a lovely object as a book, one of the prettiest books on my bookshelf.

a pocket sized edition, but not described as such.
The book is tiny. The font is far too small. I cannot read it.

I am not Jewish, nor am I a believer in gods, but I have many bible translations, and I was curious about the Jewish Tanakh. This is one of 3 major Tanakh translations I own. This one organizes the text in a very readable paragraphed single column, with very good and ample commentary at the bottom. It also features a good index and resource guide with maps, timelines, and pedigrees etc. Highly recommended.

Top Kommentar zum Tanach. Würde mir wirklich zu jedem Vers ein Kommentar wünschen. Daher nur 4 Sterne.

It's a great and beautiful Tanakh. The cover is decorated and firm, the pages aren't too thin, and the commentary from Rashi and other Rabbis helps you understand and interpret the passages better. It also contains so many in-depth notes, graphs, and maps in the back. This IS the Tanakh if you're looking for an all English one.

There is no Hebrew text here! What is this? Some kind of Jewish Approved "Protestant Bible"? scant on commentary. Straightforward text. No real formating. Giving everyone the heads up, in case you are expecting something different.

Perfect and easy to read and follow and understand especially for those of us that aren’t as knowledgeable
