Anchor Yale Bible: Old Testament
Would it be possible to see some excerpts from this series? Or is that a no no? Lev. would be nice, Isa 56? Maybe a little Malachi 4:1-6 possibly? Just curious and I don't see any samples anywhere.

I think that the excerpts are such a small % of the text that it should fall under fair use. I hope I'm right.

Not one of your requests, but you might find this interesting. I find Dahood's work on the Psalms quite thought-provoking even though he sometimes goes a bit overboard.
Psalm 2
(2:1–12)
1
2
...
Why do kings of the earth take their stand,
and the princes make common cause
Why do the nations forgather,
and the peoples number their troops?
Notes
2. A royal psalm, composed for a coronation. It readily divides into three sections: vss. 1–3 describe the rebellion of local kings against the new overlord; vss. 4–9 relate the reaction of God to their behavior (4–5) and the reaction of the new king, who vindicates his royal authority (6–9); vss. 10–12 explain the reconciliation to be effected. Punishment awaits the intractable, reward the obedient.
The import of recent discoveries for the literary study of the Psalter may be illustrated by citing, with no captious intent, a judgment expressed by Briggs, CECBP, I, p. 13, at the beginning of the century: "There is no dependence on other Lit.; the Ps. is throughout original in conception." The genuinely archaic flavor of the language suggests a very early date (probably tenth century). My linguistic analysis thus points to a conclusion at a great remove from the opinion of André Robert, "Considérations sur le messianisme du Ps. II," in Recherches de Sciences Religieuses 39 (1951–52), 86–99, who maintains that "
Tous les versets du Psaume, sauf 6 et 12, renferment des termes charactéristiques de la langue postexilienne
" (p. 97).
1. the nations forgather. That rāgaš denotes "to forgather" has been amply demonstrated by Briggs, CECBP, I, pp. 17 f. Its chiastic parallelism with vs. 2, nōsedū yaḥad, corresponds to the balance of rgš with sōd, "council, counsel," in Pss 55:15 and 64:3. The close association of rgš with sōd in each of its three biblical occurrences is a safer guide to the meaning of rgš than the Syriac etymology which has served as the basis for traditional "be in tumult, to rage."
number their troops
. In addition to signifying "to mumble, utter, speak," hāgāh also denotes "to number, count [out loud]," a nuance brought out by UT, Krt:90–91, where the three million troops mustered by King Kirta are said to be, ḫpṯ dbl spr ṯnn dbl hg, "serfs beyond counting, archers beyond number." The Ugaritic occurrence of hg in a military context may speak volumes for the significance of yehegū in this verse. In passing, one may note that the Canaanite pairing of spr and hg has served to uncover a similar pairing in Eccles 12:12; see M. Dahood, Biblica 33 (1952), 219, and John Gray, The Legacy of Canaan (VTS, V; Leiden, 1957), p. 201. J. D. Shenkel (oral communication) finds parallel terminology in Luke 14:31.
The meaning of rīq, "troops," is based primarily upon Gen 14:14, wayyāreq ʾet ḥanīkāyw, "And he mustered his retainers." Ps 35:3, hārēq ḥanīt, frequently rendered "ready the spear," should probably be attached to the root being considered here. See Ps 32:6. The troops of Abimelech (Judg 9:4) and of Jephthah (Judg 11:3) are labeled ʾanāšīm rīqīm, usually translated "worthless fellows" or "vagabonds," but the term probably signifies "enlisted men" or something similar. Morphologically, rīq is a passive participle like śīm; Joüon, GHB, § 58c.

No, your budget is going INTO Windows (unless you're unfortunate enough to be using a MAC). [:D]

I'm not an expert on this collection, but I think some of the volumes are written from what I would consider a goofy perspective, (i.e. source criticism/documentary hypothesis drivel). That doesn't mean you can't cull helpful or useful info from these sources, but their perspective IMO makes much of what they say nonsense. Others are entitled to their opinions, of course.

Thanks for the screen shots... Anchor Yale Bible is on my wish list. I wanted to get it when it was in pre-pub, but alas the funds were not available at the time.

I was unfortunate enough to be using a Mac this year. My MacBook Pro of 14 months started to develop an occasional flicker of a very thin line for a microsecond on the screen on rare occasion. It didn't effect anything functionally, it was just a bit annoying. As it was covered under the Applecare warranty, I took it into the Apple store... they said they would change a few components. After looking at it and running some tests, they said they would just give me a brand new computer instead of fixing the old one. The computer they gave me was not equal to, but better than the old one as the technology and specs had changed. They also transferred all of my data onto the new one.
Prior to this Macbook I had owned Dell, IBM Thinkpads and Toshiba all with similar warranties. I had them all worked on at least once with much more substantial problems and not one ever suggested just giving me a new computer. AND they certainly would have never transferred all my data onto a replacement. Is this a one off? No, I have another unfortunate friend who got a new MacBook the same way when his developed a fault after two years. They just gave him the latest up to date machine and transferred his data free of charge.
Macs aren't perfect, but you can certainly bet my experience with Apple has earned my respect as a customer. Everyone should use what they prefer I say. If Windows is your deal then fine. If you like Macs, I doubt many feel unfortunate!
