Product Description

The only complete interlinear Bible available in English—and it’s keyed to Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance! Thousands of pastors, students, and laypeople have found The Interlinear Bible to be a time-saving tool for researching the subtle nuances and layers of meaning within the original biblical languages. Featuring the complete Hebrew and Greek texts with a direct English rendering below each word, it also includes The Literal Translation of the Bible in the outside column. But what truly sets this resource apart are the Strong’s numbers printed directly above the Hebrew and Greek words. Strong’s numbers enable even those with no prior knowledge of Greek or Hebrew to easily access a wealth of language reference works keyed to Strong’s—Greek/ Hebrew dictionaries, analytical lexicons, concordances, word studies, and more.

The Hebrew is based on the Masoretic Text and the Greek is from the Textus Receptus. The sources of the texts are documented in the preface, and are essentially the same (with some minor variations) to the Hebrew and Greek texts used by the KJV translators.

Only a small minority of Bible students ever achieve the ability to read the original biblical languages. This resource offers a non-threatening tool for those lacking language training to begin exploring the languages of Scripture.

• Conveniently includes the entire Hebrew and Greek text of the Bible in one place

• Offering a concise, literal translation of each Greek and Hebrew word, it’s a great jumping off point for in-depth Bible study and text analysis.

Customer Reviews

A Must for serious study of the Bible.
This Bible has the Hebrew or Greek (depends on which passage you are reading) in one column and the English next to it in another column. Also in the Hebrew/Greek column the literal translation for each word has been placed below the word and the Strongs number above the word. This makes it so you can look up the word without knowing Hebrew or Greek. The texts used are the Masoretic and the Received Text. As far as the translation goes it is painfully at times literal (this is good for study). For example what is traditionally translated, "the bank of the river", would be translated, "the lip of the river". Unfortunately the names in the Greek portion (NT) did retain their British influence instead of the "literal" Greek and Hebrew. For example Miriam in the Hebrew section is Mary in the Greek. Jacob in the Hebrew and James in the Greek. The only other complaint I would have about the translation is that on a rare occasion the translation is not consistent. For example in Mt 13:15 the translator uses the word convert (change from one thing to another) and in Isa 6:10 which is where this verse is quoted he translates the same word as "turn back" (not change from one thing to another but go back to what you originally knew). Unfortunately this particular bias and others that are akin to it are seen throughout. Overall I would say this is the best study Bible available and well worth the money. If anyone has any questions about this text I don't mind the e-mail.

good for reference but....
All things considered, I like this Bible very much and have no regrets about buying it. The Amazon discount makes it more affordable than it would be otherwise. It's very handy and helpful for looking up things, especially when you don't want to pull out that great big lexicon!

There are two columns of Hebrew/Greek text on each page with Strong's numbers above each word. The English equivalents for the words are below. On the left of each Hebrew/Greek interlinear column, there is a narrow column with English text (the translation used is _The Literal Translation of the Bible_).

Now, for the "but" part. The size of the print is quite small, so the vowel marks and the accent marks can be *really* hard to distinguish. This is especially true of the Hebrew.

So, in conclusion, I would recommend getting this if you can afford it. It's wonderful for reference. But even if you do have this, you most likely will want to get the full (non-interlinear!) text of the Hebrew Bible and Greek New Testament.

Great Buy!
I pre-ordered the August 2005 Edition and I received it on August 1st. I am very pleased with this Interlinear Bible and it is an EXCELLENT reference book.

The print is small, but it is written on bright white paper, which makes it easier to read. The pages are also thicker than my other reference books. It is a very high quality book.

The Strong's numbers are very helpful in determining the true translation of a word, phrase, or verse. Just remember that you need to read the English translation of the Hebrew from right to left. There are two lines of English for every line of Hebrew. So you need to read the English translation switching from one line to another line, per word or phrase.

Anyone who is serious about studying the Word of God should, at minimum, have an Interlinear Bible, Hebrew-Greek-English, by Jay P. Green, and should also have The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Of The Bible, by James Strong. The Strong's Comfort Print Edition, ISBN: 0840720726, has a larger print that makes researching the Strong's numbers a lot easier. I "Highly Recommend" this Interlinear Bible.
