Notes

The Jewish Publication Society published this English translation of the Hebrew Bible in 1917 to meet the needs of English-speaking Jewish readers. Max Margolis served as editor-in-chief, working with a board drawn from major American Jewish scholarly institutions. The translation followed the Masoretic Hebrew text and Jewish interpretive traditions while retaining much of the English style of the Revised Version and King James Bible. Widely used in Jewish education and worship, it is now often called the Old JPS (OJPS) to distinguish it from the Society’s later translation. See the Jewish Publication Society’s history of the edition.
