Julia Falling Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Hey, all – I'm going to need a print Hebrew Bible next semester, one with the critical apparatus. Which edition is the latest? Does it come in a decent size font? One in which I can read the pointing without a magnifying glass? (I have no problems with the NA28th or UBS5th in print). I know this is a bit off topic, but y'all are the most knowledgable folks I know. My prof said to get the BHS with apparatus. I went to the school library and they had a maior edition. But if it's not up to date, that will be a no-go. As you can see, I'm a bit muddled. My Greek prof will get it for me when he goes to SBL (good discounts there) later this year, so I want to be as specific as possible. Thanks!

A.D. Riddle Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 The latest revision of BHS is 1997, 5th edition. There is a so-called pocket edition (you would need a large pocket--about 5" x 7.5") You probably want the standard edition which is about 6.5" x 9.5". I think this is also sometimes called a hand edition. A.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I got this as i wanted a large hebrew text that was easy to read. Hebrew one side (but english the other which i accept may not be what you want) is very legible https://jps.org/books/jps-hebrew-english-tanakh-deluxe-edition/ ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Thanks, guys. Just the info I needed. As appealing as the JPS edition might be, I think my prof would frown upon my sitting there with English in front of me when there should be only Hebrew. I think I'll start with the BHS 5th and look into the JPS later. I'm only in first year, so it will be a while before I can even read and pronounce the language, let alone understand it. Since we're required to have a Hebrew Bible next semester, I'm hopeful that some level of competence will have been acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia Falling Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yeah. But I don't mind too much duplicating some things. And even if I'm just auditing, I play by the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
