Hebrew-Greek bible: what is the best bible for both languages?

[@wyattsteel411]

I'd like to see a Bible with a new Hebrew text that takes into account the Dead Sea Scrolls and back-translates the Septuagint. I plan on learning Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic myself to make it happen - it'll obviously be multiple years, but I'm young, and I'll make it available for free, I'll learn TeX to format it all just right, yadda yadda yadda. What do you guys think of my idea?

[@bma]

Sounds ambitious! Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@ChristInMe-en2vs]

Great a idea may God Almighty Help you with that idea. Looking forward for your app.

[@NanookFieryArcticSkyy]

Thank you, between your videos and my will, I will get back into studying. One thing that gets me interested is word studies. I like using examples for everyday life. I just got a new job, so I need to study work. Like Greek: ἐργάζομαι, ergazomai . Col 3:23 . What a beautiful word. Your videos are why I am still in the game. This is powerful. If many of us got a good hold of this we would be unstoppable. Thank you and God Bless you.

[@bma]

Wonderful! It brings me joy to know I'm helping! Thank you for sharing!

[@ANAGNOTHI]

I would love to see BHS and UBS 5 or NA28 printed in one binding with a very nice leather cover. Basically a larger Biblia Sacra (thinner) with a really nice binding. I have Phillip Brown's and the binding was disintegrating very early so I had it rebound.

[@bma]

I don’t understand why they stopped publishing the Bib Sac. I agree - update would be great!

[@ANAGNOTHI]

@@bma I bought mine in 1995 and had it rebound in 2015. It's held up well. I'd still love to see a really nice, high end Hebrew/Greek with a leather cover. I would pay a pretty penny for that. Even Phillip Brown's came with a cheap cover and I had it rebound.

[@TheJesusNerd40]

I agree with totally! I have a Biblia Sacra!

[@George-tt4cm]

@@bma Most likely, they stopped printing Biblia Sacra because of the creation of Biblia Hebraica Quinta. They are probably waiting for all the fascicles of BHQ to be published, then from there they can publish different versions of it, such as a stand alone single volume edition of BHQ, like that of BHS, and an edition that will be paired along with Nestle-Aland's NT. Although by the time BHQ is finished, Nestle-Aland's NT will be in its 39th edition lol

[@1689JeffChavez]

I like the Hendrickson Complete Hebrew Greek Bible. Blessings!

[@ing-mariekoppel1637]

What about Greek Septuagint? Would you do a video on that too?

[@stroHtbn86]

Thank you so much. I searched years for such a bible until I found two seperate parts (Greek/Hebrew) in the same formate and sent them to a binder in order to bind them in one book. It has a very small formate so that I can put it in my pocket and cary it with me where ever I go.

[@greghamilton297]

For the Greek New Testament I think the Majority Text interlinear by Thamas Nelson is the best.

[@PurePuritan]

Analytical Literal Translation (ALT3) by Gary F. Zeolla is an underrated Bible version

[@theburlyburrito]

I purchased the Hendrickson Bible and am very satisfied with it. It’s a great resource to look at. Especially the Hebrew OT.

[@bma]

[@tonyb408]

We need an edition with the BHS and Robinson Majority Text that is downloadable to be bound.

[@bma]

Great idea! You could do this with the Leningrad Codex.

[@BiblicalStudiesandReviews]

Agreed.

[@BenGristUK]

Great video Darryl! I've had copies of each of these over the years, but similarly my favourite is by far the Biblia Sacra which I also had rebound.

[@brettthaxton7511]

I really enjoyed this video. I use two separate reader's editions to cover the entire Word, but I really like the Bibles you have presented here. That is amazing that you don't need glosses in the Greek NT, wow! How many vocabulary words do you review each day? Keep teaching and posting!

[@jasondecourcy1893]

Could you make a video on memorising the Greek NT?

[@peterwycka7222]

What I would perhaps like to see for a bible would be a LXX/Hebrew parallel bible but when it comes to the apocryphal books just the Greek by itself kept in book order if possible or put at the end of the OT. And for NT two parallel Greek texts with no apparatus and only notes for quotes and allusions to the OT. Paralleled NA28 With either the Tyndale or Byzantine text with a respectable cover and binding that lays flat. If someone comes out with something like that, that probably would be the bible I would use for the rest of my life. Or something else I would like to see that is much much simpler is a NA28 that is just text in large print on better paper with a ribbon made of steel.

[@bma]

That would be interesting - even as a diglot. It might be a bit thick to be in a single volume, but an intriguing idea!

[@TheJesusNerd40]

I have the Biblia Sacra and Zondervan one. I need to get the Hendrickson one. I'm very interested in the Free one by Dr. Abner Chou.

[@KIMVINSON]

Need to know one that is translated to English , but properly from the old Hebrew and Greek

[@NeedAVacay-y5u]

I know this comment is old, but the NASB 1995 edition or the NKJV are probably the most literal Bibles. That being said, literal is not always better. Que Pasa in Spanish is literally in English: "What passes?" It means what's up or what's happening. The same is true for any other language. I use the NET for its extensive notes on why they translated things the way they did. God bless you.

@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews Oh yeah, that's where I heard about it recently! :-) Your observation that it can be too thick to use is accurate - I've ended up just using Logos on my phone for the LXX in church because all of my Septuagints are way too bulky.

[@BiblicalStudiesandReviews]

@@pmachapman Oddly, you would think the Greek Orthodox Church would bind the LXX and their Byzantine text together, but they don’t. I’ve been on their website and you have to buy a modern Greek Translation of Koine Greek to get it bound together like a normal bible.

[@onesimuswong5149]

I want to love my Biblia Sacra, which I bought from Eisenbrauns in the early 2000s when working on my PhD. BUT(!) some years after getting it, I was reading through Mark and discovered a whole section of pages missing (something like 92-121; from Mark 2-9). It's sat on my shelf ever since :(

[@George-tt4cm]

Sorry to hear that. You definitely got a defective copy. Unfortunately, Biblia Sacra is out of print, and God knows when the BHQ project will be completed, so an undated version of Biblia Sacra can be made. Your best option would be to buy a BHS compact edition + NA28 and have them bound together.

[@pinecone9045]

What was the size of the Hebrew vocabulary when the bible was translated?

[@mahlonsmith6410]

Hello Darryl. I enjoy watching your videos every week. I would like to get a Bible that has the Hebrew OT, LXX and Vulgate in three columns for the Old Testament and GNT and Latin Vulgate in two columns for the N.T. Do you know of anyone that has done such a project?

[@pmachapman]

The TBS Hebrew Greek Bible is probably the most affordable pre-printed version available if you don't mind the Textus Receptus and Ginsberg Text. I find the fonts in it a little harder to read than my BHS and THGNT though.

[@BiblicalStudiesandReviews]

@@pmachapman it’s definitely the most compact too

[@pmachapman]

@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews Yes, it is. Compact Greek NTs (let alone whole bibles in the original languages) are hard to come by these days. I still use an old 1904 BFBS NT just because it is leather, readable, and nearly pocket sized.

[@SDAdefender777]

Thank you Darryl, for your interest in helping people with their Hebrew and Greek. May I give you some constructive criticism? #1. You talk too fast. At least when you are giving technical terms that the common person does not know. I would suggest that you Type out the Difficult words, Expressions, Technical tools, Names, such as the BHS, Robinson-Pierpont, Book Titles, Names, etc. Please slow down, and enunciate, Spell, Type out on the Screen for people to see. #2. You did not bring out the importance, or maybe you do not know, about the importance of making a difference between the Different Lines of Manuscripts, between the Majority Texts of the Textus Receptus, and the Manuscripts that the Modern Translations are based on. Please watch "Tares Among the Wheat", and "Bridge to Babylon" by Adullam Films. Also, "The Battle of the Bibles" by Walter Veith of Amazing Discoveries. All on KZbin. Thank You.

[@aviyahchaverim9388]

Would you agree that the Old covenant and New covenant are not testaments. The books never has a dividing page, this page was added at a later time. The old covenant was written on stone tablets while the new is written on our hearts, however, the old covenant was not given solely to the Jews but through YHVH to the children of Israel through Moses. The tribe of Judah did not come until the time the tribes were birth. Just some observations. Thanks for all your work, I find it very helpful. Keep up the good work!

How much Hebrew Greek bible with English text?

[@robwagnon6578]

Here is a novice question, I am curious why they have translated the Greek with upper and lower case letters when its original writing did not have lowercase letters could you explain that to me?

[@desantoriswandi8146]

I believe it's because of the readability issue. The same can be said to the Hebrew also where the published edition always includes the Niqquds, space even verse number etc. just for the sake of readers...

[@bearnurse1]

Is the NT a Greek translation of what Jesus said in Aramaic? If so how much do you think was lost in translation to Greek? Is there any way to know what Jesus' original Aramaic words were or am I missing something?

[@bma]

The New Testament was never written in Aramaic. It is possible that Jesus spoke in Aramaic, but we also know that He spoke in Greek and Hebrew. The key question is what language was the New Testament inspired in? If we hold to divine inspiration, we argue that the original words written were the words God wanted written, and since God is faithful and true, they are accurate words, even if they use metaphor, etc. So, I don't think the original spoken language is an issue - the question is what was written. So I agree with what Jesus said, that the words of scripture are the words of God. I hope that helps!

I'm not sure how the Greek argues against the sovereignty of God in salvation. If you're referring to the use of the word "all" in verses like 1 John 2:2, this doesn't argue for arminianism but universalism, so both arminians and calvinists would argue that the word means "every people group in the world," not "every person" - unless you want to believe that Christ's atonement actually applies to all people and hence embrace universalism.
