Summary: A good tool but terrible print quality
Review: The Interlinear Bible is a huge, quite unwieldy volume with a magnificent leather cover giving you the Hebrew/Greek text of the Bible plus a literal translation both under each separate word and in the form of a continuous translation in a narrow column beside the Greek or Hebrew text. Each word in the original text has a figure above it. With this number you can find the meaning of the word in the BDB, the best Hebrew Lexicon available on the market. Catholic and Orthodox readers should note that the Interlinear Bible is a Protestant Bible, which means that Baruch, Judith, Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, and 1 and 2 Maccabees are missing. When I have difficuty in understanding a sentence in my Hebrew manual (EKS or Mansoor) or in my Biblia Stuttgartensia, I usually consult this book rather than the Index to the BDB by Bruce Einspahr,a book which I have found quite useless so far. The problem with this Interlinear Bible is the awful quality of the print. Although most of the reviewers mention this flaw, their description is really an understatement: the Hebrew letters are quite distorted, specially at the beginning or end of each sentence, and the vowel signs and the dagesh are hardly decipherable. Of course not all the text is a shambles but certainly more than 60%(I'm talking about the Hebrew text, the Greek text is much more readable)! When I first saw the Hebrew text, I was so disappointed that I thought this book would never be of any use to me. Time though has proven that it was not a total waste of money and as I said above, I now use it frequently although only to check the meaning of a word or passage. I never read the Interlinear Bible first. For reading, I use the Biblia Stuttgartensia (large font), which I recommend strongly. Another problem with this book is that the translation is not always as literal as would be desirable for someone who is looking for the grammatical identity or function of a given word. I can't recall any example right now but I have sometimes found the translation to be misleading in that respect. Finally, I strongly recommend to Hebrew students the Old Testament Parsing Guide by Todd S.Beall. This is an invaluable-but for some mysterious reason rather little known-resource if you want to be able to decipher all the verbs(including participles) in the OT. Considering the high price of this Bible and its awful print quality, I really think you should pause before deciding to buy it.

Summary: The Best Tool
Review: The Interlinear Bible, paired with Strongs, is the best possible tool for those who seek the truth. It has the complete Bible, In Hebrew and Greek, with the "literal translation" and concordence numbers above each word. On the outer edges of the Hebrew and Greek text, has the direct literal translation of the Bible. It is not a difficult tool to use.

Summary: A Must for serious study of the Bible.
Review: 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.

Summary: Deep in The Heart of Textus (Receptus)!
Review: This book, the entire Bible in the original languages, with an interlinear English translation, as well as a marginal literal translation, and Strong's numbering over the original language words, is a welcome addition to the library of any sincere student of God's Word. I think this is the first complete Bible, Hebrew & Aramaic as well as Greek scriptures, in interlinear format with marginal translation. I love this book for Bible study. I can see what the original language states, and using Strong's system, I can then go to a lexicon and research the meaning of the original word. Like many students of the Bible, I am skeptical of paraphrased and other translations that take liberties with the Biblical text. Green obviously has a deep respect for the Word of God, and doesn't play loose with wording while translating. While I have heard that Westcott & Hort's Greek text is more accurate than the Textus Receptus that Green used here, I consider that a minor point. The drawbacks that must be mentioned: The single-volume edition, which I have, is large and unwieldy, with tiny print that can strain the eyes if used extensively. At least the print quality is good - very crisp and clear. There is a 4-volume edition, but it can be rather costly. Eventually I'll probably invest in one, 'though. One point I question: the inclusion of "a few readings" from the Latin Vulgate which the author clearly states are NOT considered as "true scripture", but which are included anyway, with the appendix serving as "corrective" - WHY? I'm of the opinion that if its not true scripture, it doesn't belong in with the inspired canon.

Summary: Extremely Nice
Review: This Interlinear has quickly become my favorite. One of the best features is the fact that Strong's numbers are listed above each word. So you can quickly understand the background, usage, and underlying meaning of EVERY WORD in the Bible. I have found one typo, though it was minor, it threw me for a loop at first. It is only a mislabled Strong's number. It is at John 10:30 where Jesus said "I and the Father are one" the word one there is referenced with Strong's number 1722 and it really should be 1520. Other than that this is an excellent translation and it is nice to have both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures together in one book. Pros--
1) Strong's numbers referenced for each Biblical word.
2) Both Hebrew and Greek scriptures are in one book.
3) Restores the Divine Name YHWH to its proper place in scripture. Jehovah rather than LORD is used where the Tetragrammaton ( YHWH ) is located. Cons--
1) Size, very large 8 X 11
2) Print is kind of small, but is of good quality I am extremely please with this purchase and would highly recommend it.

Summary: Wonderful reference but ......
Review: This is a "must" for any serious student of the Bible or, frankly, any Christian wanting to expand their horizons pertaining to having knowledge of the original Hebrew and Greek sources. Nevertheless, I must advise that the print in this one-volume version is somewhat hard on the eyes (the Hebrew language suffers more from this than does the Greek language, in my opinion). However, all entries are certainly readable (I suggest using a moderate power magnifying glass if you really need to study the Hebrew text... just to avoid eyestrain). All things considered, this is a superb value (e.g., signature-sewn binding!).

Summary: A must have for any serious bible student, period.
Review: This is a fabulous study tool for any interested person in what the bible really has to say!
The Interlinear Hebrew-Greek-English Bible, Jay P. Green Sr., One Volume Edition, displays all the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words of the Bible in the Masoretic Hebrew Text and the Received Greek Text, with literal, accurate English meanings placed directly under each original word in interlineary form, with Strong's Concordance numbers over each original word, enabling the Bible student (whether knowing the original languages or not) to refer to all lexicons and concordances that have also been coded with Strong's numbers.
Bound in a bonded leather over boards hardback edition. The only complete Interlinear Bible is now fully keyed to Strong's Concordance numbers. The Strong's numbering above each Hebrew and Greek word - along with the Interlinear text and marginal literal English Translation and the 1769 Authorized King James Version - opens a treasure house of Bible study possibilities for those who wish to understand the Scripture better.
It's use will allow the novice student to read the original text without losing valuable time to look up the meaning of the Hebrew & Greek words in the Hebrew & Greek lexicons. There is no substitute for a first hand knowledge of the original text. However since only a small minority of Bible students retain an easy reading comprehension of the original text, the Interlinear Bible is a welcome aid to Bible students, laymen, and pastors who wish to continue working with the original languages.

Summary: The Best Bible I Have Ever Known!
Review: This is a must have in every Christian household. The normal english bible is like a black and white television movie, if you want to have the colour version of the bible you must have this. For example in John 21:15 in english it says that Jesus asked Peter "Do you love me?" and Peter answered "yes Lord I love you." But in greek Jesus asked Peter "Do you love me with unconditional love?" and Peter answered "yes Lord I love you with brotherly love." showing man's limitation in love, and what God expects from man. If you want to find out the indepth meaning of the bible, this is for you! I have no regrets in buying it.

Review: This is an incredible resource for anyone who wants to understand the Holy Bible. The Hebrew and Greek texts, accompanied by the English translation is amazingly insightful and the Amazon.com price is unnbeatable. I searched high and low for this book or an acceptible substitute, and this is by far the highest quality and best price I could find. Highly recommended!!!

Summary: Valuable reference for every Christian
Review: This volume is worth the price and should be on every Christian's bookshelf. It contains the original Hebrew/Greek text of the Bible. Underneath each original language word is the equivalent English word. Along the side is a straight-forward literal translation. This makes it easy to see the proper word order and grasp text meaning which, if you don't know the original language's grammar, can be obscure in the word-for-word mapping. Strong's numbering system above each word allows rapid look-up in a concordance or lexicon. Print in the one-volume version is small, but readable. Some people might want a magnifying glass for extensive reading. Multi-volume interlinear versions (3 volumes for OT, 1 for NT) from the same publisher use larger type sizes and also include the King James Version. What a treasure!
