Recently I've been revisiting my Jewish heritage. I have quite a few bibles, of different translations, since I like to compare versions. I suddenly realized that I had English, Latin, Greek, and even Aramaic available, but that I had no Hebrew bible. Anyone rambling about the web quickly discovers that The Stone Edition (so called because Irving I. Stone was its patron) commands much respect for it's Hebrew and English versions as well as a wealth of supporting material.I am not well equipped to evaluate the Hebrew text but I found the English translation endlessly fascinating. For example, Bereishis (Genesis) opens "In the beginning of God's creating the heavens and the earth -- when the earth was astonishingly empty...." Suddenly we are in the mind of narrator who feels quite different than the other voices that have been given to the Bible. It is a voice that is just a bit more like people than oratory or rhetoric. It was a difference I quickly came to like.I also found the commentary that runs with the text very useful often resolving questions and keeping the focus on the intent of the text. The Parashas are clearly marked in the Torah, as are the Haftaras elsewhere. The books are each provided with a short introduction that provides insight into the background and context of the writing. An overview of the Tanach is provided as well as the requisite blessings and guides to pronunciation. We are also given extensive tables for everything from Torah readings, to timelines, biblical genealogy to the construction of the Tabernacle.This is actually the richest and most informative bible I own, and is already providing me much to think about.
