Description
The Five Books Of Moses : An Easy To Read Torah Translation by Sol Scharfstein An author of children's books and Jewish educational texts, Scharfstein renders the Torah into modern language that young people can comprehend. For example, all the weights, measures, and monetary units are converted into modern equivalents, the text is made gender neutral where possible, Hebrew and English titles are used for the traditional sections, and most place names include English translation. The Masoretic text is the base, but clearly the translation is not literal.
