StefSan Clemente, CAGender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Perhaps the most literal translation possibleJanuary 10, 2013StefSan Clemente, CAGender: maleQuality: 3Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4I grew tired of the interpretation issues and italicized words in the bible and wanted a version that does its best not to interpret or misstate. The Hebrew Greek English Interlinear Bible does an excellent job of providing an English version of the bible that is not adulterated by interpretation. Does anyone really think that Yeshua said 'I am he' (instead of 'I AM')?
Since the goal is literal, word-for-word, translation there is little interpretation being made. This translation does however use the proper names and the word 'church' (other words than this I have not, as yet, learned to take issue) which is from the German tradition ('J' sound preference over 'Y') and also represents an interpretation. I would prefer transliterations from the original language.
This bible provides two English translations: the most literal and (perhaps) the second-most literal. The most literal is in-line with the Hebrew (OT) or Greek (NT) and the 2nd-most is in the outer margin.
There is little room for notes but I prefer to use spiral notebooks so this works for me. It is also not my primary bible to carry since it would be difficult to manage multiple volumes (or restrict my interest or need to one volume). I do like to use it as my primary reading bible (but I do also read from my large print KJV Thompson Chain Reference Bible).
Until I learn Greek (and Hebrew, and Aramaic; neither of which is likely until/unless I retire!) this is the best resource I've found to get the word of God in a pure form, even better than the King James since there is no issue of interpreting old forms of English language.
It does require that I contemplate and think about what I am reading. Much more so than any other translation. And that is a good thing.
I also appreciate the additional information included about the translation. I try to read every page of my bibles and find any that doesn't explain itself to be lacking in integrity (like literally any from Zondervan or any other 'modern' translation).
The quality of manufacture is lacking. While the pages are well sewn the font is small, crude and not so readable (in some cases the print quality simply ). I would greatly appreciate a large or giant print version. The covers are cheap and inflexible but as I don't carry it around it should last me just fine. -
Looking To LearnSan Diego, CAAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5invaluable aidMarch 9, 2012Looking To LearnSan Diego, CAAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5When I learned that the NIV translation committee selected a corrupt Greek Gnostic alteration, not a translation, as its base for the New Testament translation and additionally left approximately 5% of the Greek words untranslated I became alarmed. When I explored the the beliefs and doctrines of the men who did this I became more alarmed. I also learned that the later versions of concordances have been adapted to fit the new "translations" and are not reliable references. So I did a little research into how we actually got our various Bible translations and was relieved to learn about Jay P. Green's Interliear Bible translation in both the New Testament and the Old Testament. I keep a concordance by my side as I go back and forth from my Bible to this four volume Hebrew and Greek translation. It really helps me understand subtle nuances of scripture. It has a good hardcover binding and because it is divided into four books, is light weight and easy to carry. The Hebrew Old Testament reads from right to left and the Greek New Testament reads from left to right. The pages are bright white and clean.The print is small but not too small. If you have vision problems you may need a good pair of glasses. I love this set of books because I am not a Greek or Hebrew student, yet it helps me understand God's word a whole lot more.
