Thanks for the reviews. Just ordered the English edition. I already have an Artscroll Hebrew/English Tanakh. May need to order the Hebrew just for the font.
I have a Scriptures Bible...Ive seen criticism of it and would love your take on it. I love seeing the actual Hebrew names for items. This one looks worth gettting. :) Thank you for all your work.
I'm interested in the series _The Koren Tanakh of the Land of Israel,_ which employs this same translation. So far, Koren has released volumes for Exodus, Leviticus, and Samuel. They look like they could turn out to be a highly valuable resource akin to a Bible backgrounds commentary.
Thank you for your review! I've got The Koren Large Tanakh Maalot - Magerman Edition and sadly it haven't got the bonuses that english only version have! If I only knew I would buy english only version!!!
I reviewed Oxford's JPS study Bible, but ArtScroll doesn't really have any study material, does it? Not sure what there would be to review, but perhaps someday.
@@DiscipleDojo I think that the Stone Edition Chumash / Rubin editions of some of the books would be cool. They have commentary from some important rabbinical sources in both Hebrew and English. I understand if that’s getting a little bit too removed from Christianity, but the books themselves are physically really cool and have a proprietary translation. From what I’ve heard, it’s the translation preferred by Orthodox Jews in the US (Koren is the main one inside Israel). Those two and JPS seem to cover all of the major bases for English-language Jewish texts. Might be worth considering. Keep it up, man 🙏
i am muslim and i study Bible in english and arabic. arabic bible is more easy to understand because both are Abrahamic languages and many words are common in both languages i. e the word qurban means sacrifice in both languages. similarly zabiha for slaughtering animal., dama for blood, saeer for fire. almost all numbers from one(ahad) to thousand (alf) are common. i trying now to learn biblical hebrew to make it more easy In Sha Allah. Shukran
That is wonderful to hear. I hope you are blessed in your study of Scripture. Feel free to reach out to me if you ever need any help or have any questions. Salaam wa alekum!
I was so happy to come across this review today - I was actually looking at both Koren versions trying to decide which one I would like to purchase. Do you know of any Hebrew or Hebrew/English Translation that has the Hebrew poetic sections laid out like the English Koren has done? Every blessing from Australia!
JM, another home run. I do like a larger Hebrew font. Is there a Koren Hebrew only? How about the font size with Artscroll? Or since I have BHS perhaps I should stick to Logos and Accordance where I can change the font size myself? I am tempted to order the English Koren with all those study aids. Many thanks.
I'd say you can't go wrong with either, and they are available in standard and large print as well. If you already have a Hebrew text maybe go with the English only and see how you like it. I've never used Artscroll, so I can't compare them, I'm afraid.
I can not wait for the Jewish annotated new testament and the other, they are on my wish list but I want your thoughts 1st! Your my go to when I'm looking into a new study bible.🙌🏻😊
5:05 Thesebkinds of Tanachs are not meant to be used by serious Orthodox usage. Your average Orthodox Jew would study the text using a Mikrot Gedolot which hosts severalndifferent classic commentaries. And if their Hebrew was lacking, then they would use an Artscroll with commentary.
@DiscipleDojo well if it's trying to do that with this project, then it's doing less than a piss poor job. I doubt you have ever seen a Mikrot Gedolot, but these Koren Tanachs don't hold a candle to them as far as study is concerned.
Hello Disciple Do Jo Please assist me looking for Hebrew Bible that is phonetic. Also I want to be able to control speed. Hebrew English Bible with audio. Please find and review. Thank you Disciple Do Jo.
In light of the current Eerdmans sale on Accordance right now, are there any select commentaries you recommend? Is the NIGTC Commentary on Revelation (1999) considered outdated (or any commentary before 2000)?
F.Y.I The Samech (ס) or the Peh (פ), have another meaning. They call in Hebrew Parasha S'gura for the Samech (ס) and Parasha P'tuha for the (פ). In Hebrew: Parasha P'tuha means "Open Case". Parasha S'gura means "Case Closed". Its has a deeper meaning, but i don't fully know the intricate and all the details.
All Hebrew Bibles do this, since Aramaic uses the same letters as Hebrew. So when you read through passages in Daniel, or Ezra/Nehemiah you are reading Aramaic. It just looks like normal Hebrew.
@@DedekindMusic If you're talking about "ə" then it's a way to show that in the text a shva is written (two vertical dots under the letter). It is a short vowel, generally pronounced kinda like the e in "dress".
You were complaining about David Stern having translated and producing his version of the Jewish Bible Study, yet here you are giving your own opinion as if you are the authority in Bible translation!
What does the title even mean? What is an Israeli Bible? Jewish or Christian? The Jewish Bible is the Old Testament or more accurately the Tenach (from the initial letters of the 3 parts: Torah (5 books of Moses), Nevi'im (Prophets), Ketuvim (Writings).)
It'd be really cool to see someone do something similar with the Brit Chadashah, like a companion to this that makes it the whole Bible (Old & New Covenants) in Hebrew...or even a treatment of the Peshitta like this would be cool too.
Using any other title than YAHUAH will be a blasphemy to YAHUAH , ( ha shem ) just means "His name" So you are not calling upon a name only words to denote a name ?????
Very impressive review given that it is coming from a non-Jew. Seems to know his stuff. Well done! This is a good translation that is faithful to the actual Hebrew text. One should realise that the St James Bible is a superb translation which has stood the test of time. It is more than just a translation. The style, though by today's standards is stilted, it still has an edge over many more recent translations. It does suffer from the mistranslations that Christianity introduced to the Bible. Nevertheless, many Jewish translations have been based upon it.
Thanks for the reviews. Just ordered the English edition. I already have an Artscroll Hebrew/English Tanakh. May need to order the Hebrew just for the font.
Love the attitude of approaching other faiths using the best of their materials rather than caricatures!
Yes, that is the best approach. Let there be more peace in the world.
It’s not another faith. Same bible. Same God. Same religion.
Intendimenti opposti!!@@ChopinIsMyBestFriend
Your Bible reviews are very nice, I always enjoy your explanations. Your message at the end of video is very important!
Hi. Thanks for your video
Is that version Hebrew English that you have a hardcover?
Thanks
Thank you, JM🌹🌹🌹🌹 Enjoyed this Jewish January series.
Look up the god, Janus. 'Jewish January' is an idolatrous way to say it, believe me, it'll point you further to Jesus
Epic. Great video. Glad I found this channel.
I have the Koren Tanakh English Hebrew compact edition (2015) version- I ❤ reading it

@@DiscipleDojo Thank you 🙂
I have the older Koren Hebrew-English Tanakh from 1962 & the current edition with a JPS Hebrew-English Tanakh that I’ve used the most.
I wish I could thumbs up more than once 👍this is the second time I watch this video 😂
Great review! Please let me know where I can get the Micah shirt you're wearing.
The link is in the description
Just ordered short and long sleeved!

I'd be interested to see a review of the Africa Study Bible. It seems like an interesting study Bible.
I'm not familiar with it, but I have discussed the Africa Bible Commentary in my Old Testament study resources video.

@@uriel7203 obviously, Koren is hoping to change that.

@@iankingston480 sorry. I can't help you there. I would suggest finding a synagogue in your area and asking them for recommendations.
The first publication was hand written on parchment. No xtian chapter or verses, no vowels, puncuations.
In light of the current Eerdmans sale on Accordance right now, are there any select commentaries you recommend? Is the NIGTC Commentary on Revelation (1999) considered outdated (or any commentary before 2000)?
Beale's is still a gold standard in Revelation commentaries, IMO.
I also love the NICOT volumes, particularly Hamilton's Genesis and Ashley's Numbers.
@@DiscipleDojo Wonderful, thank you!

In Hebrew:

All Hebrew Bibles do this, since Aramaic uses the same letters as Hebrew. So when you read through passages in Daniel, or Ezra/Nehemiah you are reading Aramaic. It just looks like normal Hebrew.
@@DiscipleDojo Ok. Thanks a lot my friend
How far off is the translation of KJV NIV etc to these?
Cool. Can you help with the backwards e letter pronunciation?
What specifically are you referring to?
Thanks. In the pronunciation text of ancient hebrew there are e letters that are shown backwards to the normal e.
@@DedekindMusic If you're talking about "ə" then it's a way to show that in the text a shva is written (two vertical dots under the letter). It is a short vowel, generally pronounced kinda like the e in "dress".
@@nahowah6723 thanks for that. Much appreciated
כל הכבוד
If only the stuff at the back of each volume could be published as a separate booklet!
Would you hand out these bible
You were complaining about David Stern having translated and producing his version of the Jewish Bible Study, yet here you are giving your own opinion as if you are the authority in Bible translation!
@@dougsantos6146 no. I am not.
Messiah is haMashiah, but how do you say "Christ" in Hebrew?
"Christos" is just the Greek word for "annointed one", which in Hebrew is "mashiach"
@@DiscipleDojo Found out recently there is also Μεσσιας (Μessias) used twice (John 1:41, 4:25).
As a messianic Jew I absolutely love the Tanak I have the JPS but definitely going to pick up these two Tanaks
Only to find out that there's no Jesus there 😂

What does the title even mean?
What is an Israeli Bible? Jewish or Christian?
The Jewish Bible is the Old Testament or more accurately the Tenach (from the initial letters of the 3 parts: Torah (5 books of Moses), Nevi'im (Prophets), Ketuvim (Writings).)
It's referring to Koren publishers, which is an Israeli publishing company, rather than one based in North America or Europe.
Artscroll Tanach Stone Edition is more accurate.
Best thing to do is learn Hebrew and get ahold of an Orthodox tanach.
I've done both. But not everyone can.
@@DiscipleDojo i believe we all can with the right teacher and practice and patience.
Dude I'd love a copy of each one! How much? Seriously. 😂 Send them to me please!!!
Sorry, amigo. These are mine! 😁 But check the link to Koren's site where you can order them!
@@DiscipleDojo 😂🤣 Thank Material arts dojo thingy dude!

*King* James. The man was definitely no saint! 😅
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, this is a very readable and well-done translation.
Not really they don't even translate some words correct@DiscipleDojo
Messianic Jewish? 😂
No
If it is in English it is not Scripture.
Arrogant of you to say a timeless spaceless God is limited to 1 language
Oh wow you are still so far off.
Oh wow from what, exactly?
