Hello everyone! I was looking to purchase a new hardback edition of the Christian bible. The only problem is that there are so many to chose from I cannot differentiate what one would be the perfect choice. I'm looking for a great translation that is in modern English; It would be great for a dictionary or something to help explain the verses; I'll use the Hebrew bible I own as an example: Genesis 1:6: "God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate between water and war." Now the author included text that would help define what is happening in the verse: Genesis 1:6: "The commentators generally agree that the term "firmament" refers to the atmosphere that encircles the world." This helps me to understand what the word "firmament" means and how it is used in Judaism.
