A Reader's Hebrew Bible

I like it so much, I bought 2! - John Scott, Northern Ireland, near the Mountains of Mourne.

My Hebrew isn't as good as I would like it to be, but this book has already become so much a part of my daily life that I can't imagine having to do without it. There's currently nothing else quite like this on the market, and I have to admit that I purchased a second version as a reserve - just in case I lose my 'main' one, and find it's gone out of print or something. Interlinear bibles, generally, are bad news. They make us think we know the language better than we really do. This is different. On the main page, you get the Hebrew text with no helps. But for the less-common words, there's a glossary at the bottom of the page. This means you FIRST try to work out the text for yourself, and only resort to the footnotes when you're stuck. In the past, my daily Hebrew reading was only a few verses long, then I collapsed from mental exhaustion! With this version, I find I can comfortably read longer sections and whole stories. It really *is* a Readers' Version. Highly recommended for Hebrew students and those who (like me) are suffering from Rusty Hebrew Syndrome!
