This volume, revised in 2005, updates the original 1981 commentary with contemporary values and fresh translations. It includes a gender-sensitive version of the JPS translation with largely gender-neutral God language and new translations of Genesis and the haftarot by Rabbi Chaim Stern. The book is reorganized by parashah, includes aliyot markers, and features a helpful index. It is praised for its compendium of classical and modern sources, enhancing worship and study for readers.
In 'The Rational Bible: Numbers,' Dennis Prager provides a commentary and explanation of the Book of Numbers, rooted in his expertise in biblical Hebrew and its grammar. The book addresses issues such as doubting God, the sources of faith, arguing with God, ingratitude as a source of evil, and the role of priests. Prager's approach is entirely reason-based, ensuring that readers are not asked to accept anything on faith alone. This volume is part of 'The Rational Bible' series, which aims to show the Bible's relevance to today's issues and its consistency with rational thought.
