Author Description

Tora Study Bible is a modern American English rendition of The Five Books of Moses that coveys the meaning of the verses as explained by traditional commentators including Ramban, Rambam, Ibn Ezra, Rashbam, Siforno, and Rashe. Tora Study Bible is written to be appropriate for young readers as well. Throughout the book, informative headings summarize the content of the upcoming verses. Each of the 613 commandments as defined by Rambam are indicated by a heading before the verse from which the commandment is derived. Study notes enhance the understanding of the verses on many levels. First, they state the sources on which the rendition is based. Second, the notes relate the verses to relevant historical, geographical, scientific, and archeological facts that elucidate the meaning and context of the Biblical content. Third, events and concepts are presented in tables with cross-references to all relevant verses.
