Aryeh Kaplan and “The Living Torah”

Wed, Aug 1, 2007 at 10:13 am Posted in Bible

I was just having a discussion with someone about the Hebrew Bible and it was suggested to me that I get a copy of “The Living Torah” - an English translation of the five books of Moses by a man named Aryeh Kaplan.  I have to say, after reading a bit about Aryeh Kaplan, he seems like pretty interesting personality.

    I like this verse: “God made leather garments for Adam and his wife and He clothed them.” (Genesis 3:21)

    Does this mean that Adam and Eve were the first bikers???

    I wonder if the Church would allow leather garments for bikers? :-)

    I just noticed that your site auto-linked my reference to LDS.org. Here is the link to the Living Torah scripture.

    If you want a modern English Torah, I suggest Everett Fox’s _The Five Books of Moses_. Get the edition with the commentary.
