The Scriptures Paperback – January 1, 2009

I'd been reading this translation on the YouVersion app for over a year. I got to the point where I didn't want to read from my old book with the pagan names in it anymore, so I was almost exclusively reading on my phone. But during shabbat, I like to unplug from technology as much as I can, so I finally ordered a physical copy of TS2009.This translation is beautiful, and even more beautiful are the Names of our Abba and His Only Begotten Son (YHUH and Yahusha!) which are restored to Their rightful place in the text! I love all the Hebrew names of the books as well and that this is a literal translation for the most part, rather than thought for thought.It takes some getting used to when you first begin to read, but it's truly a baraka (blessing) as you grow in understanding of the hebrew terms and the terms/phrases used that are closer to those of the original texts (e.g. 'slaughter place' rather than altar, 'being' instead of soul, etc.)I purchased the hardcover edition, and it is extremely well-made. It has two ribbon book marks (blue and white like tzit-tzits which i thought was cool), built-in tabs and rich lettering (bold for the Names). I'm confident that the soft cover one is similar in quality just based upon my purchase and experience with this translation.Overall, cannot recommend this translation enough to those who seek the truth and want to grow closer to the Father through His Son!! May Yasharel learn to walk in YHUH's Ways; with Him is much redemption!!

Great to get a bible with God's name printed easy to read and good value for money.Bless Lord YHVH

This is a beautifully rendered book!! It has many aspects to it with information that’s incredible. i’m glad i bought The Scriptures Bible

Best book ever!

The media could not be loaded. I wanted to buy a new translation of the Bible to read and found this one and I'm so happy I did! I just recently found out I'm Jewish, so it's super cool learning the original Hebrew names and having the Old Testament laid out in the original Hebraic order of the Tanak. It's making me have to stop and study, which keeps my mind engaged, helps it not wonder, and helps me retain more information.I also bought the silver 25th anniversary version for my friend who is a Messianic Jew; she had never seen anything like it and was so happy!My teenage son became very curious after I bought mine, so he had me get him one too!The only thing that's odd for me about it is the spelling of some of the Hebrew names doesn't always match up with what Google initially says, but it seems the more I go down the rabbit hole, I'm finding the original spelling was closer to The Scriptures version than what is common in Hebrew today.

This one I purchased as a gift, however I own several bibles from the ISR. This is by far the best version I have found. It is my go to and in fact I no longer use any other version. First I like and appreciate the fact the the names are correct. Names don't change regardless of where you go......pronunciations might, but the name does not, and that's just for starters. I also appreciate the fact that there are no man made doctrines along the sides or footnotes....they have done a great job, I recommend this version to anyone that really cares about truth.

The reason for 4 stars is due to "The Second Writings" aka New Testament doesn't contains red letters. To me that's a MUST!But outside from the red letters missing from the New Testament the Bible is perfect. I purchased the leather bind one which costs more so, red letters should have been within the Bible.Still good to owned.

The media could not be loaded. I highly recommend you purchasing this Bible, it gives you clarity and you are easily able to understand the words. The paper is thin but the word of Elohim and his prophets is understandable. This Bible is worth any amount you spend on it, I am beyond satisfied.
