Summary: Good for reference but....
Review: 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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Does what it's supposed to do
Review: An interlinear will not analyze every single word for you. What it will do, is to give you an quick translation of the particular word that might be giving you trouble. If you want more analysis of particular words, BAGD, Louw & Nida, and of course Kittle gives you good help there.

That said, Green's interlinear is invaluable for the Bible student. Unlike some interlinears, the entire text of the Bible is contained and translated in one volume. The "literal translation" in the margin is also helpful.

Sometimes the KJV English is a little dated ("peradventure" is not a word I use a whole lot), but again, this book is designed to give you a quick, one-word translation of the Hebrew or Greek word in question. This book will get you started, but you should be looking for additional help as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Helpful Tool
Review: As a Hebrew student, I bought this book to aid in my translations, needed for class. This book has helped me greatly. It is easy to understand, and very helpful, providing Hebrew, direct English translation (right to left) and then another English translation (left to right). I highly recommend it for anyone interested in Hebrew or Greek.

Summary: JP Green Does an Excellent Job
Review: Based on the Textus Receptus with great references this interlinear is an excellent addition to any serious Biblical Studies Library. The basis being TR is very important because it gives the sense of scripture from that text.

Some feel that the Revised Version is more accurate and the debate will continue for decades, yet to have this tool for TR/KJV only studies is very informative. Too many will miss out on the importance of this book because it is KJV. However, whether you believe the TR is the correct text or the Revised, this is a must in your library. You can compare to the Strong's numbers, however, remember that Strong's tends to be influenced by Classical Greek definitions and not the koine.

I feel George Ricker Berry's translation is very helpful and it is much less expensive and without the Strongs reference is still a great buy. However, to round out your library, get both.

Summary: Great Study Bible
Review: Excellent Study Bible, it also looks like the Strongs numbers have been fixed, because mine are correct, so far, I still have several thousand to check :)

Summary: Interlinear Old Testament seems error prone
Review: Excited about such a presentation as this interlinear text, I quickly looked up a couple of verses. Since Genesis is available for review, I decided to look there. Genesis 4:1 looked okay. okay now Genesis 3:15 - oops. H7779 (bruise) was incorrectly labeled as H2233 (seed/semen).

I'm interested in using a book like this to explore and understand the meaning of the underlying text, but if errors are introduced by the author of this book on the scale that it seems to be based on the sample data, this makes the book, which initially comes across as an authority on the bible, instead be an obstacle to correct learning.

How can anyone recommend a reference tool prone to error?

Summary: ANTIOCHIAN text with an ALEXANDRIAN viewpoint
Review: For those who love to study the Word of God, buy this for the Hebrew Masoretic (ben Chayyim?) Text. Buy this for the Greek Textus Receptus (1894 Scrivener edition). BUT DO NOT buy it for the English. Yes, this "bible" contains the foreign texts translated from the Authorized King James Version (the only version I read for serious study), but the English text is modernized, belittling the beauty of the WRITTEN language of the AV1611, or the HOLY BIBLE. I take the KJV very seriously. Oh, by the way, the written language of the Holy Bible was not SPOKEN ANYWHERE in the world. Thou, thee, thy, thine, and ye, were already replaced with the ambiguous but understood "you."
Although the Apocrypha existed in early KJV Bibles, they were taken from the Greek Septuigant, a corrupt text. Only a very few of today's KJV Bibles contain them.
Moving on, the author, Jay P. Green, doesn't believe that neither Acts 9:5-6 nor 1 John 5:7 are true Scripture. Clearly, this man doesn't believe that God hath preserved His Words (Psalm 12:6-7). If one takes the time to take a look at this book, Green mentions difficulties in the Hebrew and Greek texts. No two languages are the same, so phrases and idioms, of course, are differentiated. The vocabularies of two languages aren't the same, either, both in denotations as well as connotations.
However, this "bible" has some good points. Strong's number system is on top of each word. I've heard that some of Strong's numbers are inaccurate. Either way, be careful. Another advantage is the back index shows the changes between the "Majority Text" and the Critical Text, first compiled by reprobates B.F.Westcott and F.J.A.Hort. Another advantage is the Literal Translation, taken too "literally". I don't agree with Daniel 3:25 quoted as "a son of the gods". I don't agree with "pascha" being translated as Passover in Acts 12:4. Time and space don't give me the reasoning to explain. I also don't agree with Revelation chapter 13 saying "on" the right hand and on the forehead as the correct "in" the right hand and the forehead.
Time for me to shut up: Antiochian texts, Alexandrian viewpoint. Buy for Hebrew and Greek, not for English. Ta ta.

Summary: interlinear bible and so called error in Genesis 3:15
Review: Hi I have looked at Genesis 3:15 and the error mentioned by Jill from Dallas does not appear to be on the 9 sample pages it is possible that the author of the review has got her information wrong if so her review should be removed as I believe the interlinear bible is a must for people interested in what the original languages actually say,and the review may put them off.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No Review
Review: How can you rate something that was never delivered. It was ordered on my credit card on Jan. 22, 2004 and it was never recieved and when I try to track it, there is not any information on the book I ordered. I even tried to contact Amazon.com and that is a joke. Can't even get through to them. Kriston Fegans
