The Hebrew-English Interlinear ESV Old Testament: Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) and English Standard Version (ESV)

The Hebrew-English Interlinear ESV Old Testament is an essential volume for all who study the Old Testament in the original Hebrew. On each page the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) text is laid out word-by-word above an English gloss showing the basic meaning and morphology of each word. For reference, the ESV text is presented separately in a column alongside the Hebrew and English gloss.

Sproul, Founder, Ligonier Ministries “I highly recommend the English Standard Version to you.” Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder and President, Joni and Friends “The ESV represents a new level of excellence in Bible translations—combining unquestionable accuracy in translation with a beautiful style of expression.” R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “The ESV is the simply the best translation for combining accuracy, readability, and fidelity to the rich history of English Bible translation.” Kevin DeYoung, Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina “The ESV has been my primary Bible for study and devotion. I like it best because it gives me a close sense of what the original says.” Ajith Fernando, Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka; author, Discipling in a Multicultural World “Having now read through the ESV several times in my personal devotional life, I have adopted it as the primary text for my teaching and writing ministry.” Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, author; host, Revive Our Hearts radio “The ESV is my translation of choice. . . . My walk with the Lord and my ministry have been enriched and blessed through this wonderful translation.” Crawford W. Loritts Jr., author; speaker; radio host; Senior Pastor, Fellowship Bible Church, Roswell, Georgia “With the myriad of Bible translations on the market today, few stand out. The ESV is one of the few, and surpasses the others in its simple yet elegant style.” Daniel B. Wallace, Ph.D., Executive Director, Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts Format: Hardcover Type Size: 8.00 Page Layout: Single Column Size: 7.625 in x 9.25 in Weight: 64.89 ounces The value of reading Scripture in multiple languages on the same page has long been recognized, and the value of reading Scripture in its original language — well, that’s been recognized since the beginning. Interlinear Bibles — Bibles that provide both the text in both the original language and in translation — have long been in demand, and continuing its obvious goal to provide helpful tools for the study of Scripture in the ESV, Crossway has just released their new The Hebrew-English Interlinear ESV Old Testament. The interlinear is of course designed for students whose Hebrew is not advanced, a helpful tool for keeping up with their Hebrew reading at a quick pace. In turn it becomes a resource for doing “word studies” as the reader begins to recognize recurring expressions in varying contexts. The editor of this interlinear is well aware of the “semantic range” of various words, but as far as reasonably possible he has sought to provide glosses that are considered a given Hebrew word’s “basic meaning” consistently in its repeated occurrences. The Hebrew text is that of the recognized Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (5th ed.). The books of the biblical canon are arranged according to the accepted English versions, not the TaNaK. The pages continue with right hand turns, as English, but the Hebrew text reads right to left, with English glosses (translations) underneath each Hebrew word, and the text of the ESV in the side margin to compare. An “essentially literal” translation, the ESV fares well for this format. Along with the Hebrew and English text, both the ESV marginal notes and the Masorah Parva and critical apparatus of the BHS are provided also, as well as some helpful explanations for them found in the Introduction. The pages are well laid out, and text, translations, and marginal notes all are easy on the eye. A resource of long-recognized value especially for students who want to keep up with their Hebrew.
