Stone Edition Tanach - Full Size Black
BY Rabbi Nosson Scherman
You know and use the Stone Edition, which has become the standard English-language Chumash. But what about the rest of the Written Torah, the Prophets and the Writings? Where can we go for a sweeping understanding of the text, as understood by the Sages and the classic commentators presented in a way that makes it both accessible and enjoyable to scholar and layman alike?The first two volumes of the Rubin Edition of the Prophets Joshua/Judges and Samuel I and II provided the answer. Thanks to the brilliance of the ArtScroll/Mesorah team of scholars and writers led by Rabbi Nosson Scherman the tradition continues, with The Rubin Edition of I Kings and II Kings in one volume. This translation and commentary on the Prophets is sweeping the English-speaking world, providing new dimensions of understanding and beauty. It not only brings the verses alive, it makes them speak to us in language, in outlook, in aspiration for spiritual growth. This outstanding new work has an unprecedented array of features: A highly regarded new English translation, firmly grounded in traditional sources A commentary culled from classic sources and presented gracefully and literately Newly set Hebrew commentaries of Rashi, Radak, and Metzudos Tzion and Dovid, so you can study on many levels Newly set, accurate Hebrew text of the Tanach Introductions and explanations of difficult concepts Lightweight, opaque, acid-free paper, for decades of use Gilded page heads Ribbon place-marker PERFECT FOR STUDENTS!

Stone Edition Tanach - Full Size Black
I absolutely love this edition and the book is beautifully designed. The commentary provides such valuable context. The size is exactly what I wanted because I was afraid it was going to be too small. It is nice and large and it can be easily laid flat to read despite it being a large hardcover. I greatly appreciate this book and the wisdom, truth, and knowledge contained within.
As a former Christian, I can personally attest to the shockingly different Christian translations of Tanakh and how much they alter the original Hebrew. From the KJV, NKJV, ESV, NIV, and beyond, it is like reading a completely different book. It’s insane how the original text has even been reorganized for the Christian bible as Tanakh is supposed to be the Torah, Prophets, and Writings. This is not a commentary against Christianity. I am simply beyond grateful to have a much more accurate and correct translation of Tanakh in order to learn and grow close to Hashem. Todah rabah!
