Product Information
Read our customer guide Regarded throughout the English-speaking world as the standard English translation of the Holy Scriptures, the JPS TANAKH has been acclaimed by scholars, rabbis, lay leaders, Jews, and Christians alike. The JPS TANAKH is an entirely original translation of the Holy Scriptures into contemporary English, based on the Masoretic (the traditional Hebrew) text. It is the culmination of three decades of collaboration by academic scholars and rabbis, representing the three largest branches of organized Judaism in the United States. Not since the third century b.c.e., when 72 elders of the tribes of Israel created the Greek translation of Scriptures known as the Septuagint has such a broad-based committee of Jewish scholars produced a major Bible translation. In executing this monumental task, the translators made use of the entire range of biblical interpretation, ancient and modern, Jewish and non-Jewish. They drew upon the latest findings in linguistics and archaeology, as well as the work of early rabbinic and medieval commentators, grammarians, and philologians. The resulting text is a triumph of literary style and biblical scholarship, unsurpassed in accuracy and clarity.

great quality, like new, binding good, clean pages, newer translation so beware that, but great for comparison!
I expected the book to be a lower quality because of the lower cost, but much to my surprise it was in great condition, even still had the receipts from Goodwill in it. It is clean-looking and in like new condition, and cost me less than $6. I challenge you to find a greater deal online for a JPS than that! Interestingly enough however, I did once, but it was a needle-in-a-haystack moment. It was a 1917 JPS. Interestingly enough the 1917 one is a Biblical Cosmology and the post 1969 ones are heliocentric globe cosmology. Curious change. But either way, to help with my research it is good. Let me know if you get any 1917 Tanaks in : )Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

This particular paperback is too tiny in dimensions and print size to be practical.
It's a modern translation, which is what I wanted. This one is tiny. I have read the hard cover, which was normal size. I didn't expect that this "paperback" would be so tiny ( probably about 6 x 4) with tiny print.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The truth will set you free! This book is must have for everyone seeking to learn the true and get closer to the creator.
I strongly recommend reading the tanakh. This version is only only from the JPS version. Everything is well written. The words may seem small for some readers but still very legible.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Glad I bought it
The size of book was smaller than expected. I am thrilled to have it because it complements other study material. Wish it had an organizational diagram of the content. Just a little too small for a single folded 8 x 11 print out of organizational structure to be inserted and have it stay without it being partially glued inside cover of book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome translation!
I like that it is translated from the original Hebrew. Also, being in modern English makes it very understandable. Highly recommended to anyone that does not read Hebrew.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
