"Robert Alter had done an impressive translation of Genesis. This book is for anyone wanting to do a close reading of Genesis. It offers an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of both Hebrew and English."
"Thanks, daughter dearest, for introducing me to this translation of Genesis, a fresh and more literary approach. It's musical, poetic, earthy, embodied and free of much of the baggage that accompanies other translations. My copy is heavily underlined, with as many marks in the footnotes as the text. I recommend it to anyone in pursuit of the living word. It deepened my understanding of scripture. Robert Alter went on to translate the second through fifth "books of Moses," a volume I haven't yet read but have on my wish list."
"Genesis is one of the few books of the Bible that is actually somewhat interesting and entertaining. Not a font of wisdom by any stretch of the imagination, but culturally important and enjoyable in its own right. Alter provides the best translation I've seen."
