JPS Jewish 1917 Bible:
In the early nineteenth century, an English translation of the Bible didn’t exist and most American Jews couldn’t read the Sacred Scriptures because they were not lettered in Hebrew.
A committee made up of scholars of the three major Jewish institutions began to translate the Old Testament of the Bible.
The aim was to create a new Bible in the best English possible and without all un-Jewish and anti-Jewish phrases, expressions, and usages. They wanted to introduce a traditional Jewish interpretation to reflect Jewish feeling, law, faith and tradition.
This translation have become the most popular English translation of the Hebrew Bible.
