I used to actively search for intellectual stimulation as well!<BR/><BR/>Melora, Thanks. Yes, I like the Jewish Study Bible. But my favorite translation hands down is Everett Fox's <I>The Five Books of Moses</I>. It is only Torah, though. He has not yet done the Prophets and the Writings. Although he's done a great job with Samuel and Kings in his <I>Give Us A King!</I>Elisheva Hannah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061377724926154037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059095776066394557.post-38564072142092731472009-01-27T21:01:00.000-07:002009-01-27T21:01:00.000-07:00The story of the death of the firstborn always bot...The story of the death of the firstborn always bothers me very much, as it does my kids. (And for some reason, between our history, literature, and Bible study, we are reading about Moses & the Exodus three times this year in our hs.) I found your insights into the story very interesting -- thanks!<BR/>I love your note on the bottom about how YHVH answered Moses' question. Have you seen the Jewish Study Bible? I've looked at it on Amazon, wondering if it would provide a "fuller" translation, along the lines of yours.Melorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285358490646455774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059095776066394557.post-29602492878057315302009-01-27T05:08:00.000-07:002009-01-27T05:08:00.000-07:00Thank you for such a thought provoking analysis of...Thank you for such a thought provoking analysis of this week's parsha. This is why I love reading your blog. When I get lost in the preschool version of life, your blog gives me a renewing look into the intellectual world. Our discussion of both last week's parsha and this week's parsha have focused on "keeping one's deal" and why it is important to follow through.Fairionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168703092479677513noreply@blogger.com
