Summary: Great Interlinear
Review: It is very easy to find good Greek Interlinears but a good Hebrew interlinear is nearly non-existent. I was a little nervous about buying it because the description did not clearly state whether the Hebrew text was written from right to left as is it is supposed to be. Thankfully, it is!!! The English "letters" are below the Hebrew and are in left to right order as we read in English, but the English "words" follow the Hebrew text which is right to left. This is what a true intelinear is supposed to be!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best Hebrew English Interlinear Old Testament available.
Review: Seminary students know that their classroom knowledge of the biblical languages (Hebrew/Greek) is probably the first thing to disappear from their minds after seminary. And no doubt, the Hebrew language will disappear sooner than the Greek because most seminary students do refer to their Greek more often than Hebrew after seminary graduation.

Fortunately, Kohlenberger's Interlinear Old Testament is handy (in one volume), complete (has all 39 books of the OT), and is readable (has larger print than most), and this Interlinear Old Testament should be on the shelf of serious students who know Hebrew or who have previously studied Hebrew. No other volume in print has all the above features of the complete Hebrew text along with a word for word English translation underneath each Hebrew word in the Old Testament text. This volume will save one a lot of time in looking up the underlying Hebrew meaning behind an English translation.

So if one is going to continue on with their Hebrew in the ministry after seminary, this book is the way to go. One will find this volume very useful and efficient in helping to accurately pinpoint the underlying Hebrew of an English translation of the Old Testament.

Summary: Interlinear NIV Hebrew-English Old Testament
Review: The asking prices for these USED books are way too high. You can buy the WHOLE bible in greek/hebrew english for $100. If you buy just this one volume, you pay $60 for just Genesis thru Deuteronomy ONLY. AND----the original asking price for this one volume was only $17.95. Save your money and buy quality. Get the whole thing somewhere else. Not a good deal.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good But Could Be Better
Review: This is the only interlinear Hebrew-English Bible I have seen. As to layout and clarity of printing it is very good. However, and this is a big however, the "literal" translation is often not that literal or consistent, even in small matters. Frequently it seems geared primarily to justifying theological or stylistic decisions of the NIV translators. Why not just make an honest, literal, consistent interlinear, and let readers exercise their minds?
