Reply To: What version of the Tanakh do you read?

Thanks for the reply up until the part that you said I sound “christian”. I do not really know what to take home from this seemingly impersonal and impolite assessment of what I thought to be a truly academic pursuit of Truth. That said, I will admit that the christians do have questions about which bible is best and which translation to get. I had not really thought it applied to us as Jews until I saw how vastly different some of the writings were between the 2 Jewish Tanakhs.

There are clearly differences between Takakhs and I personally think that one who is Jewish should find a version that he is comforatble. But that said, if there is an alteration in the truth that is expressed in a bible from one to another, this is not a christian interest but the interest of a Jew or other truth seeking soul in his pursuit of excellence and trust in G-d.

Make sense?
