Committee Note:
Scholarly standard
Standard scholarly translation into English, commonly used in mainline seminaries and by mainline denominations. The translation uses formal equivalence, some gender-accurate translations, no special capitalization, a modern text and was done by a committe with interfaith cooperation. I strongly recommend it for serious study, but not for easy reading.
