Hi
I'm starting to learn Hebrew and I would like to purchase one of this bibles. Don't know if this is the correct place to post this...

https://www.logos.com/product/27271/biblia-hebraica-stuttgartensia-with-werkgroep-informatica-vrije-universiteit-morphology
https://www.logos.com/product/17645/biblia-hebraica-stuttgartensia-sesb-20-version-with-apparatus-and-wivu-introduction
So I would like to know which one is a better and more trustable version between the BHS and BHW? Is the BHW the original one? Advantages of having one over the other?
Also can someone explain the uses for apparatus and advantages of having the BHS with apparatus over the one without?
thanks in advance!
Hugo
Hi Hugo ... welcome to the forums!
Each person probably has an opinion. If I was starting out to learn hebrew (versus become familiar with it), I'd go with SESB 2.0. The hebrew is not the issue at the start (comparing products), but the learning-assist. SESB includes popup english glosses when you're really tired and your brain is fried. 4.18 doesn't. I doubt you need WIVU morphology until maybe later, if ever.
Apparatus's (incorrect spelling) are fun, since they give you a flavor of the past ... differences in manuscripts and translations. SESB has several packages ... I always get the mostest apparatus's ... never a waste with SESB.
Logos also offers an interlinear .. some (most) recommend 'don't go there', for quicker learning.
Hi Denise, thanks!!
Hi Hugo,
I agree with Denise on using the SESB 2.0. Another advantage is if you do go on and need to do anything with the German, the glosses will be there in popups in both English and German. This can also be useful as an additional translational help. BTW, I do have all the available Hebrew Bible versions from Logos, but like the overall functionality of the SESB and use it most often.
