A translation of the Pentateuch that rivals the brilliant achievement of Franz Rosenweig and Martin Buber. Fox restores the cadences of the original Hebrew, explicates the puns, and returns biblical names to their Hebrew equivalents. The result is an earthy, pungent, vital, breathing, truly Hebrew Hebrew Bible. (

A great resource for Biblical study. It keeps as much of the Hebrew literary elements as possible, and explains them, adding a new dimension of understanding. (

This translation is a stunning achievement - to read it is to hear the Bible as if for the first time. While other English translations of the Bible render its language as if it had been written in English, this new translation re-creates the full force of the Bible's original rhetoric and poetry - its rhythms, nuances, and stylistic devices - allowing the English reader to experience the spiritual and aesthetic power of the Bible's own voice while recovering layers of meaning that are missed entirely in conventional translations.… (more)
