The Interlinear Bible: Hebrew-Greek-English

Jay P. Green comes through AGAIN (I say again because he also translated his own full Bible version "The Literal Translation [of the Bible] - the LTV) in what should be described with splendid and stunning verbal fireworks of accolades! The only drawbacks that I can find so far are that the print is VERY small yet the book is huge and it "literally" (pun) weighs a few pounds. It could not be done any other way than this, unless it was broken up into volumes (which would increase their printing costs and shelf space needed to hold this precious resource). If it is needed by you, grabbing a magnifying glass to read this is WELL WORTH the slight hassle. Nonetheless, the obvious and tedious long and many hours of work put into this Bible stand out phenomenally. The quality that this tool provides is due full well deserves ten stars out of five (if that were possible), because this is a work of etymological brilliance. This is already one of my MOST FAVORITE Bible study aides because I used to have an LTV - but I passed on to my daughter. So I KNOW that this Bible will grow more and more on me. I've already got another copy coming in the mail that I am going to give to my pastor to aide him in his weekly sermon and personal Bible studies. The way that the LITERAL TRANSLATION reads is amazing! As far as the Greek translation: the wording is even left in it's original order, which sets it TRUE to the mark of being LITERAL. Therefore, in my opinion, Jay P. Green will have NO WORRIES when he faces God Almighty about how that he expressl translated and had put into print - "God's Holy Word" - because J. P. Green kept it pure and therefore TRUE. One can't go wrong with this purchase if they are getting it for themself or for someone else that GETS INTO THE MEAT OF THE WORD and desires to hold and SEE The Holy Word of God Jehovah written out in fully accurate truth. This Bible is NOT for those newly accepted into Christ's body - not by a lonnnnnnnnng shot. It is DEFINITELY for a more seasoned student in God's Word. *2 Timothy 2:15 (Word for word translated from the Greek states this:) those hearing. Earnestly (study) yourself approved to show to God a workman unashamed, rightly dividing the word (verse 16) of truth. (Then verse 16 continues). *Please see the highlighted text in photo. Then Green's "Literal Translation Version (LTV) of the Bible" translates it out as this: 2 Timothy 2:15 Earnestly study to show yourself approved to God, a workman unashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. All together... 1. I'd buy it again if I gave this one away. 2. It is an awesome copy of God's divinely inspired and thus Holy Word of the Truth that sets us free. 3. Once you get it you'll have a hard time putting it back down after you hold it Lovingly and tightly and when you have it opened up and are reading it. Trust me brother/sister in Christ (or non-believer)... I'm speaking from experience; I crave and need more time alone with God and this - His tool.

Great resource if you love studying your Bible. Be sure you have a magnifying glass because the print is tiny.

There is no difficulty reading the English or Hebrew or Greek text in this volume, not even the really small print for footnotes and such. Don't let the reduced text size put you off! This single volume contains everything the old 4-volume set contains, plus a few minor extras. This single volume is a little larger than other books, but not quite as big as, for example, Strong's big old volume. This volume by Green is 8 and 3/4" wide, 11" tall, and 1 and 3/4" thick. The margins are only a little less wide than the 4-volume set's margins. One volume fits in your lap or on your desk and you don't have to keep switching volumes as you study scriptures referring to the OT. There are no scripture references alongside the text, but you can't have everything. Use your KJV or your NASV or your Dake's for that. You are getting everything the 4-volume set has. This single volume is just like the 4-volume set, only with the pages reduced in size. The extra material includes a Preface which explains translation techniques used. Footnotes give references to the Received Text, and also the Majority Text which is slightly different. You get the Strong's numbers over each main word, which makes the volume even more valuable. It is just like the 4-volume set. It is true that the English translation in this volume is not the King James. For my money, it's better, being as close to a literal translation as you can get. The whole purpose of owning a volume like this is to understand Hebrew and Greek idioms and exact meanings and such. This volume gives you that. Don't expect the Hebrew or Greek texts to be crystal clear in readability; they are not, in regard to the tiny (microscopic?) diacritical markings especially. It's all there, but too small to be sure what the markings are exactly. If you know Hebrew or Greek already, you will have no trouble; and if you don't, the diacritical markings won't make that much difference to you anyway. If you must have the exact Hebrew, then buy Biblica Hebraica, R. Kittel, editor. If you must have the precise Greek text, then get the American Bible Society's 5th revised edition of the Greek text, which uses a better and bigger font. If you must have the textual apparatus, you get that in the ABS's 5th edition; it's not in Green's one-volume. But if you are only interested in getting the exact meaning of the Hebrew or Greek, wanting to use this volume to be a study aid in preparation for preaching or teaching, then this single volume is your best bet. Finally, you are getting a bargain in price. As each volume of the original 4-volume set came out, they cost around $50 apiece, for a total of over $200. Here you are getting the whole kaboodle for what I paid for a single volume in the 4-volume set!

Michael Heiser suggested it. It's small type but I can read it with just my glasses although a magnifying glass helps.

Excelente e muito útil!!! Parabéns!

A obra é uma excelente fonte de pesquisa. As letras são pequenas, mas acredito que se fossem maiores aumentaria muito em volume. No mais, goste!

There are missing letters in areas of the book but it’s not that much of a big deal. Can still make out what’s being said and written. I can not say the same for the hebrew and Greek words but it’s all good. I wanted it and I have it. Thanks amazon.

I truly believe this is the closest I will ever get to reading the word as it was originally written, It is just incredible!!!! Ok so I have around 20 bibles because I've been searching for the most accurate... the Bible I had previous to this was a wycliffes bible which if you don't know predates the King james and is written in middle English which at 1st is very difficult to unserstand but clearly God wanted me to read that 1st because boy oh boy this is next level, I'd like to point out I'm reading the original translation that is under the hebrew and greek not the 2nd translation in the colums because that is kind of diluted and you really won't realise if you don't read both which I have a few times to help translate a particularly difficult section which then blows my mind how I didn't see the connection due to the words being mixed up but trust me once you find the flow of how the words join it starts to come alive!!! The sentences are much like middle English but imagine if you will subtitles on the tv that aren't in English and you hear them say a name but the place in the sentences doesn't line up with the speech this is how the words are on the page so slow down and read it as if it may need reordering and then it will just start to make sense and you won't even think about it, You definitely need to get the strongs expanded concordence because this also adds another deeper layer... the Hebrew language only has 22 letters and so a lot of their words hold many different meanings which the greeks never knew about and so things got translated how they think and to be fair they're very close but some words have many many different meanings depending on the situation and the concordance tells you exactly what each word means in each passage and how it should be translated, I included a picture of it at the end. Also if you do get the concordance you will inevitably find a word in greek and think "this doesnt match" thats because even though you're reading a translation from greek they retain the hebrew root words so you need to find that same number in the hebrew section, This Bible unfortunately doesn't include the apocryphal texts I have noticed people mentioning how small the print size is and yes it is very small, I have always had good eyesight up close but you may need a magnifying glass to read it. It's a nice big bible and has the best smelling pages I've ever smelt 😆👌 If you can afford it then go for it with the concordance it will be worth it 🙌

Definitely need a magnifying glass to read this.. otherwise your nose is up against the book.. needless to say this book is beautiful & I am excited to buy a M/glass
