I was totally unimpressed. Finally, another Bible. They changed the names, re-sorted the books, I guess got rid names created by imprudent parents, and so on.

But, it might be more helpful to go to the site:

https://isr-messianic.org/publications/the-scriptures.html

Then, scroll down to the samples. I guess the Logos ones didn't catch my interest? But the book of John was interesting. Also Psalms.

I signed, but at 50% and 20 days? Not even 40 days and nights .. or was that Jonah.

A better sales job would be needed for me to pre order. What is the group publishing it? What do they believe? Why another translation?

This book that they publish expresses the theology of the original translator: https://isr-messianic.org/publications/come-out-of-her-my-people.html

I shall not be paying money for this although using Elohim and the Hebrew for YHWH might make excite a fan of the JEDP theory.

It is an update of Institute for Scripture Research. The Scriptures. South Africa: Institute for Scripture Research (Pty) Ltd, 2000. which is already in Logos. I know I was one asking for the version currently in Logos because it has some unique uses in comparing translations on the basis of translators theological tradition. Do I think one needs an updated version? Not particularly.

Please publish your rules for how an item is selected for being retired as there are many very old items that are still listed. Thanks.

You're correct, it appears that the version I own has been withdrawn from the catalogue ... I would expect to find it without a price.

Would you consider the 2009 version potentially worth acquiring for folks who don't have yours?

I have preordered it but I must admit that i almost never use the copy i have now and find it rather annoying...

ROMANS

1 Sha’ul, a servant of יהושׁע Messiah, a called emissary, separated to the Good News of Elohim,

²which He promised before through His prophets in the Set-apart Scriptures,

³concerning His Son, who came of the seed of Dawiḏ according to the flesh,

⁴who was designated Son of Elohim with power, according to the Set-apart Spirit, by the resurrection from the dead: יהושׁע Messiah, the Master of us,

Institute for Scripture Research, The Scriptures (South Africa: Institute for Scripture Research (Pty) Ltd, 2000), Ro.

Now I have no issue with the more Semitic versions of names but Joshua in Hebrew for Jesus is a wee bit much for me... (Yes I realize that Jesus comes from the Aramaic Yeshua equaling Yoshua in the Hebrew), but feels odd to me. I do hope this update makes it to Logos but I doubt that I will use it much.

Yes, because I consider it important to be familiar with the Bible that specific groups are using.

Dan, thanks for sharing that snippet. I agree with you; whatever the theoretical advantages of this translation approach may be, the result does seem annoying. Forcing the reader to flip back and forth between the Roman and Hebrew alphabets in the middle of a verse strikes me as particularly obnoxious. While technical commentaries flip back and forth between languages and scripts in the middle of a sentence all the time, it shouldn't be necessary when all you want to do is read one of Paul's epistles.

There are only a few names in Hebrew [other then place names] and one soon recognizes the name of God [and most of the other ones used over and over again] So it is not that distracting to one that uses it frequently. [a friend uses it as her goto bible. After a half hour study with her, using that version, I was reading "God" and "Jesus" almost as if I knew what I was doing]

That makes sense.

I've now downloaded the 1998 version as a (free) Epub from the ISR's website; it is interesting. I can see some value in having the 2009 one to consult in Verbum.

Logos makes this much more worthwhile than having a hard copy on the shelf. If someone uses it in a class, you can bring it right up to see what they do.

I'm glad you find it useful. It may just be a personal quirk of mine, but I find Hebrew words interspersed in English sentences more distracting than Greek words - I think it's because of the switch in text direction from left-to-right to right-to-left and back again.

Just so happened that my friend with this version was at our prayer meeting tonight and we talked about this very subject. If you read Hebrew and Greek yes, their appearing in the middle of a verse could be a shock. But if you are like my friend and I the rare Hebrew word is just a different set of symbols than what we normally see. We recognize the names of God fairly quickly and take the others to be the names of places. [I have it in two of the other Bible programs that I sometimes use.]
