I know the Peshitta Bible, but what is the exact origin of the linear Stone Edition Hebrew Bible that is provided in the bookstore? Is this a translation of another manuscript?

Shlama Akhi David,

The Stone Edition Hebrew Bible is the entire Old Testament, the authoritative edition in Hebrew (Masoretic text), Aramaic Targum and English. I have it and it is highly recommended, a very elegant book!

Thank you Paul for your answer.

But what is the "Masoretic" text? I still get confused with some of these names because I have not deeply researched manuscript origins. For instance, if the Peshitta Aramaic is the most reliable source for Scriptures, then what role does the Masoretic, Dutillet, Shem Tob, and Munster (or any other Hebrew version) play in the grand scheme of things? (I am already slightly aware of the Vulgate, LXX, and Textus Receptus.) Does not every other manuscript have errors when compared to the Peshitta?

Thank you for all your help.

David

Shlama Akhi David,

The Masoretic text (in the Hebrew language) is to the Old Testament what the Peshitta (in the Aramaic language) is to the New Testament. (the originals )

Do you higly recommend this? especially for the people who would like to read the 'square Hebrew' word by word.

Shlama Akhi Rudolf,

That's a very nice work, very similiar to the stone edition....except that the Stone edition includes the Aramaic targum as well.

Paul,

How does the Aramaic Targum compare to the Peshitta Old Testament?

Shlama Akhi Otto,

Lingistically they are quite similiar, but translationally they are worlds apart.

The Peshitta OT is a literal word-for-word translation of the Hebrew - very rigid (like the Interlinear). In contrast, the various Targums are very liberal in their translation and very free-flowing, explanatory.
