The Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,… par Everett Fox
Currently reading this book.
In the process of reading this book.
This translation of the first book of the bible is based on the Buber-Rosenzweig version in German. Fox is more concerned with capturing the voice of the original than making a smooth, flowing English version. So, for example, when the Creation story repeats "God" many times, Fox also repeats it.
This heavy book contains Fox's translation, with notes and commentary, of all five books of the Torah. He had previously published a translation of Genesis and one of Exodus and a book with both of these. (I own the first and last of these, which I think I'll keep, because this current translation is heavy! Even so, i wish that he had included the Hebrew.) I heard him speak many years ago; he explained that he wanted his translation to be faithful to the Hebrew rather than beautiful in English.
