I was just perusing the webpages of the International Standard Version and was somewhat surprised by the statements below. Does anyone know any more about these critical editions of the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts of the Bible? What is being produced and when might it appear?

I know that Dave Black is an editor ... you could email him. See www.daveblackonline.com
ReplyDeleteHello, a lay person here. I am very greatful for sources online like searchgodsword, blogs like these popping up, etc., and have tried to search for similar online resources of Jewish commentary on Old Testament. What I have found so far is either difficult to search, without full commentary or no search at all, straight Talmud(which is difficult reading conceptually at best for me), etc.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone here give any references whether online or offline for a rich version of Jewish commentary?
Thanks
There are various resources for getting the Talmud online:

I'd suggest that you get a general introduction to the Talmud and then start reading bits. You might find it better to start with just reading the Mishnah.
In addition, many OT books—the Pentateuch or Samuel, Esther, Ecclesiastes and some others—have a Midrash or more on them.
You might want to have a look at the presentation of them in Louis Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews. See:
