Product Reviews

Numbers, JPS Torah Commentary 5 5 1 1

Highly recommended scholarly work The author is a top-tier scholar. His commentary sets the Hebrew text alongside an English translation, with erudite, Jewish-slanted commentary. The book is technical, a tool rather than a homiletical work. It is definitely a must-have for serious Bible scholars, students, and ministers: the 77 excursuses alone are worth the price. It is not reommended for laypeople. October 19, 2012
