This Interlinear has it all. The Tenach/Old Testament and New Testament included with original language, English translation under each word, Strong's number for each word and a complete English translation. For those using the Strong's concordance to look up Hebrew words, this Bible makes the job much easier with the numbers listed at each word thus, preventing you from looking the word up in the concordance first. The print is small but there is alot to put in a Bible like this.

This is the only Bible to display all the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words, with literal , accurate English meaning placed directly under each original Hebrew and Greek word in interlineary form, and a Strong's cross reference number above the Hebrew and Greek words. The Literal Translation of the Bible is in the left margin. This enables the reader to see the Bible words in their proper sentence order. This never before accomplished task gives marvelous insights into the Biblical Message, to scholars, to laymen, and to ministers of the Bible.

Jay P. Green, Sr. (1918-) is Translator and Editor of The Interlinear Hebrew-Greek-English Bible and the translator of the Modern King James Version of the Holy Bible, The Teenage Version of the Holy Bible, and the Literal translation of the Holy Bible. He has written numerous books on textual criticism.

This book, the entire Bible in the original languages, with an interlinear English translation, as well as a marginal literal translation, and Strong's numbering over the original language words, is a welcome addition to the library of any sincere student of God's Word. I think this is the first complete Bible, Hebrew & Aramaic as well as Greek scriptures, in interlinear format with marginal translation.

I love this book for Bible study. I can see what the original language states, and using Strong's system, I can then go to a lexicon and research the meaning of the original word. Like many students of the Bible, I am skeptical of paraphrased and other translations that take liberties with the Biblical text. Green obviously has a deep respect for the Word of God, and doesn't play loose with wording while translating.

While I have heard that Westcott & Hort's Greek text is more accurate than the Textus Receptus that Green used here, I consider that a minor point.

The drawbacks that must be mentioned: The single-volume edition, which I have, is large and unwieldy, with tiny print that can strain the eyes if used extensively. At least the print quality is good - very crisp and clear. There is a 4-volume edition, but it can be rather costly. Eventually I'll probably invest in one, 'though. One point I question: the inclusion of "a few readings" from the Latin Vulgate which the author clearly states are NOT considered as "true scripture", but which are included anyway, with the appendix serving as "corrective" - WHY? I'm of the opinion that if its not true scripture, it doesn't belong in with the inspired canon.

All things considered, I like this Bible very much and have no regrets about buying it. The Amazon discount makes it more affordable than it would be otherwise. It's very handy and helpful for looking up things, especially when you don't want to pull out that great big lexicon!

There are two columns of Hebrew/Greek text on each page with Strong's numbers above each word. The English equivalents for the words are below. On the left of each Hebrew/Greek interlinear column, there is a narrow column with English text (the translation used is _The Literal Translation of the Bible_).

Now, for the "but" part. The size of the print is quite small, so the vowel marks and the accent marks can be *really* hard to distinguish. This is especially true of the Hebrew.

So, in conclusion, I would recommend getting this if you can afford it. It's wonderful for reference. But even if you do have this, you most likely will want to get the full (non-interlinear!) text of the Hebrew Bible and Greek New Testament.

This Interlinear has quickly become my favorite. One of the best features is the fact that Strong's numbers are listed above each word. So you can quickly understand the background, usage, and underlying meaning of EVERY WORD in the Bible. I have found one typo, though it was minor, it threw me for a loop at first. It is only a mislabled Strong's number. It is at John 10:30 where Jesus said "I and the Father are one" the word one there is referenced with Strong's number 1722 and it really should be 1520. Other than that this is an excellent translation and it is nice to have both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures together in one book.

Pros--
1) Strong's numbers referenced for each Biblical word.
2) Both Hebrew and Greek scriptures are in one book.
3) Restores the Divine Name YHWH to its proper place in scripture. Jehovah rather than LORD is used where the Tetragrammaton ( YHWH ) is located.

Cons--
1) Size, very large 8 X 11
2) Print is kind of small, but is of good quality

I am extremely please with this purchase and would highly recommend it.

I thought I was getting just the Hebrew Bible. Since it was meant for a Bat Mitsvah gift, I had to return it. I have, however, an Interlinear of my own, published by Zondervan press, which appears identical to the one illustrated here.

If this is, as one reviewer claims, the only Interlinear keyed to Strong's, it is essential.

These are the minimum requirements if it is your intention to read the Hebrew and understand what you are reading word for word: a good Hebrew bible (for readable print), a pocket Hebrew/English, English/Hebrew dictionary (Ben YeHuda's), The Interpretor's Bible, a Strong's, and an Interlinear keyed to Strong's.

Its flaws are a poor binding (mine has fallen into folios), and poor print.

How many stars does one give a flawed book for which there is no substitute?

This is a fabulous study tool for any interested person in what the bible really has to say!

The Interlinear Hebrew-Greek-English Bible, Jay P. Green Sr., One Volume Edition, displays all the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words of the Bible in the Masoretic Hebrew Text and the Received Greek Text, with literal, accurate English meanings placed directly under each original word in interlineary form, with Strong's Concordance numbers over each original word, enabling the Bible student (whether knowing the original languages or not) to refer to all lexicons and concordances that have also been coded with Strong's numbers.

Bound in a bonded leather over boards hardback edition.

The only complete Interlinear Bible is now fully keyed to Strong's Concordance numbers. The Strong's numbering above each Hebrew and Greek word - along with the Interlinear text and marginal literal English Translation and the 1769 Authorized King James Version - opens a treasure house of Bible study possibilities for those who wish to understand the Scripture better.

It's use will allow the novice student to read the original text without losing valuable time to look up the meaning of the Hebrew & Greek words in the Hebrew & Greek lexicons. There is no substitute for a first hand knowledge of the original text. However since only a small minority of Bible students retain an easy reading comprehension of the original text, the Interlinear Bible is a welcome aid to Bible students, laymen, and pastors who wish to continue working with the original languages.
