Regarded all the way through the English-speaking world as the usual 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’s the culmination of three decades of collaboration by academic scholars and rabbis, representing the three largest branches of organized Judaism in america. Not since the third century b.c.e., when 72 elders of the tribes of Israel created the Greek translation of Scriptures referred to as the Septuagint has the sort of broad-based committee of Jewish scholars produced a major Bible translation.

In executing this monumental task, the translators made use of all the range of biblical interpretation, ancient and modern, Jewish and non-Jewish. They drew upon the contemporary findings in linguistics and archaeology, in addition to 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.
