A commentary in progress, on many of the phrases that differ in the RJPS translation (a/k/a THE JPS TANAKH: Gender-Sensitive Edition, 2023) compared to its base translation, NJPS (a/k/a TANAKH, 1962, 1967, 1985, 1999), including its footnotes. This is an edited version of working notes created during the preparation of RJPS. Thus far, more than 350 comments have been issued. (Disclaimer: The scholarly views expressed in these comments are mine alone; I do not speak for The Jewish Publication Society or its staff.) For the book’s preface, see below.
