The Interlinear Bible, Hebrew-Greek-English

A review of Hendrickson's Interlinear Hebrew-Greek-English Bible (ISBN: 9781565639775). This Bible is a very large dark blue hardback. It features thick paper with almost no ghosting. Each page displays four text columns. Two of the columns are wide, and they provide the original language text with an interlinear English translation. Two of the columns are narrow. They supply a separate translation in English. Strong's number for Hebrew and Greek words are also squeezed into the interlinear columns.

[nerdofgod]

This is my nerd out bible.
Great to see someone did an excellent review on this amazing bible.

I know this is an older video, but I havd been looking at this Bible for a while and I'm going to order. It looks cool. Anytime I want to get a new Bible I check your reviews first.

I am going to buy it soon if God allows, I want this to be my bible to take to church and for everything, I want to use this bible as a bridge to a bible completely in Greek and Hebrew without translation, I am studying both languages, ancient and modern. Greetings and a hug brothers.

[Starkwolf]

I have this and it’s awesome and with stronger concordance too. I really need to use it more often!

Many thanks Grant for this review. I was looking forward to it very much. As always the review is very detailed, professional, non-bias and simply: complete as the honest and state-of-the-art review of a book - especially the book like Bible - should be. Greetings and thanks from Europe.
PS. This Bible has to be purchased together with Strong's Concordance but I think it is worth to have this particular Bible at home or in the ministry as a baseline hardcopy resource of the Word of God in all major languages in which God's Word is expressed in this world. It is not a Bible for daily reading but it is one for the time when none computer or smartphone will work anymore and all Hebrew and Greek original scrolls will be banned or burnt. Its worth buying it even though the quality of print is not as great but to have all three resources of the Word of God in one book is important for the hard time. Besides one can also learn Hebrew or Greek from this book as others taught themselves to read from a regular Bible...

Great review, I have this as a 4 volume set (they are also glued ) and it would get used the most out of my reference books, I looked at this one how ever a little worry about the size of the print being only a 5. always look forward to your reviews thanks.

Excellent video review of an amazing resource. Goo job!

The Hebrew text is reproduced from the 1852 edition by Meir Halevi Letteris, which was widely published in any attractive Hebrew typeface by the British & Foreign Bible Society. The Greek text is reproduced from a recent reprint in more attractive Greek typeface of the 1881 edition of the Greek NT according to the text underlying the Authorised Version by F.H.A. Scrivener -- but without Scrivener's very interesting notes and appendices. The English column is not the KJV but another conservative version (I think the New KJV or the KJV2). Between lines each word is separetly translated and provided with its Strong's vocabullary number.

Very important for understanding the biblical theology in original language and the exegesis of the truth

[Earthytoes]

Hi there. Thanks for your great review. Do you need to buy Strong's Concise Concordance when you get this ?

[jimvick]

8:00 Did you really score that for $10.00? Man, I thought scoring one of Ebay for $15 was a good deal...

[nasaduckgamings]

can you please make a pdf version of The Interlinear Bible, Hebrew-Greek-English ...

[jacksonamaral]

oooh. i enjoyed it. i think im gonna purchase this one.

[joshualisciarelli]

Thanks for the really quality review of this. I was on the fence and seeing the in-depth analysis of it helped me greatly. My only question is, does it contain the doubling for emphasis in the Greek translation of the New Testament? And if so, how is it presented? (I.e. Matthew 6:32 — “...your Heavenly Father knows that you need them *_all_* .” Is “All” presented as “All Emph.” Or “All All”?)

[ethanlafont]

Would you be interested in a CSB Bible? I'd be curious to see you compare it to the Greek and see how it holds up. I have no need for the bible as I have left the SBC and am at a PCA church which uses the ESV, (the only bible I used anyway). If you're interested, I'll pay shipping and all that. Thanks, great review as always!

[alexdanieldominguezguerra]

Very interesting your videos, congratulations! Do you have any printed edition of the Syriac Peshitta in the Syriac language? I have searched tirelessly for this version of the New Testament but I have not found it, I would also like to know if you have any printed edition of the Latin Vetus (different edition to the Latin Vulgate)? Greetings from Colombia!

*Hello Mr. Grant...*
*I don't understand. Why does the interlinear provide Strong's #'s above the words? Isn't that the whole point of the interlinear?...in that it gives the literal translation of the Hebrew & Greek word translation? Yet...by giving a Strong's # above the words...that's like making us go to ANOTHER dictionary (Strong's) and look up the very same word! (That's like having a dictionary make you go to ANOTHER dictionary, right? Please, help me understand. I'm confused! lol Or maybe I'll see things better after my morning cup of coffee. lol 😂☕ Thank you for any kind of clarification.* God bless

Nice review of the physical properties of the book.
Did you try reading it???
I have no problem with the Hebrew or Greek but the English is full of typos; misplaced, doubled, and missing lines; misplaced paragraphs; wrong and missing Strong's numbers; wrong words (ex.: Moses' ark was build of "cyprus" wood.) In the very first chapter, "and God saw that it was good, and God said, let" is left out of verse 10-11; and more.
Many of the typos are understandable: Aberaham, Abreaham, Abraham instead of Abram; fruitdful; Sosom (Sodom); cricled (circled); "when she lay down nor when we (she) rose up"; and more. And these are from just the first few chapters of Genesis.
I communicated with the publisher a few years ago, inquiring if there was to be a revised printing and was notified that Mr. Green would not allow such; he wanted to retain complete control. So all in all, mainly because of Strong's numbers, if you're looking for a definitive reference Bible, pray for another interlinear to be brought onto the market. I looked and could not find one.

Anyone know if there is any specific numerical symbolism in the burning bush logo? 16 flames, 9 or 13 (4 small ?) leafs. I'd like to assume the symbol is not random. ?? Thanks.
