The Five Books of Moses

"A binding religious text, a historical document of the first importance, and a work of great literary imagination." –Edward Hirsch, New York Times Book Review

"Fox’s translation has the rare virtue of making constantly visible in English the Hebraic quality of the original, challenging preconceptions of what the Bible is really like. A bracing protest against the bland modernity of all the recent English versions of the Bible." –Robert Alter, professor of comparative literature, University of California, Berkeley

"No serious Bible reader–whether Jewish, Christian, or secular–can afford to ignore this volume." –Jon D. Levenson, Harvard Divinity School
