About this Item

Paperback. This work presents Numbers and Daniel translated from Greek and Hebrew into English in parallel. The most authoritative complete editions of the Greek (Rahlfs) and Hebrew (Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia) texts available are the base texts. As such, they are the base texts used by the NETS (New English Translation of the Septuagint - Greek) and modern English Bibles (such as ESV, NIV, NJB, NASB, RSV, NRSV, NRSVue, NEB, REB, and NAB - primarily Hebrew). Where available and appropriate, the translator supplements these texts with newer editions (Gottingen Septuagint for the Greek and BHQ for the Hebrew). This dual translation provides rich insights into Dead Sea Scroll variants and New Testament usage of the Old Testament. Many Dead Sea Scroll variants are incorporated into the text, particularly when the scholarly consensus identifies them as probable original readings. In addition, all passages quoted in the New Testament are presented with a detailed analysis of each, revealing how New Testament quotations relate to both the Greek Old Testament, from which they frequently derive, and the original Hebrew text. This work enhances the reader's understanding of Jewish and Greek culture, history, and language. Mr. Gren translates both Greek and Hebrew as literally as possible to facilitate comparison. These Greek and Hebrew translations will stand on their own independently, but are created and presented in parallel to facilitate comparison of similarities and differences. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
