    The Bible society israel has an interlinear and morphology Bible on their web site. It would be a great addition modern Hebrew New Testament 
  • I agree. Has anyone received a response from this request?

  • yes please
  • Absolutely. We need this translation in Logos!
  • Agreed... any movement on this?

  • I own this in print and it's superb. It's a fresh modern jewish translation with a sensitivity to the form and wordplay in the original language, and you should handle it with all the care and caution you would from any other one-man translation not done by a committee. But at the same time, as a translator Robert Alter is almost peerless. There are a few others on his level, but hardly any better. Making this old testament available for sale in your marketplace and allowing me to buy it digitally in Logos would turn me into a regular Logos user if I could search the text and footnotes, and access this on my phone.
  • Please make this available!
  • I've been reading this translation and would love to have it within Logos especially with inline interlinear enabled
  • Yes! Would love to see this translation and commentary notes added soon, please!

    Just an update on this request. As of yet, the publisher has not been willing to license to us. However, we will not give up, and hopefully we will see this and other titles we would like to develop. Know that we're not ignoring this request, but our hands are tied at the moment.
