Presenting the Word of God as a unified Jewish book, The Complete Jewish Bible is a translation for Jews and non-Jews alike. It connects with the Jewishness of the Messiah, and non-Jews with their Jewish roots.
Names and key terms are returned to their original Hebrew and presented in easy-to-understand transliterations, enabling the reader to pronounce them the way Yeshua (Jesus) did! The New Testament was also written by Jews, initially for Jews. Its central figure was a Jew. His followers were all Jews. This translation uniquely communicates its original, essential Jewishness.

Reviewed by (Walter Jones, Selbyville, De, US) - I have enjoyed the Complete Jewish Bible so far. I am not a Jew, and I was afraid it would be full of rabbinical error, but it is not. It is solid and while the naming conventions are different, being Hebrew instead of using English naming. It doesn't so much "correct" the English as it does try to preserve the flavor of the Hebrew texts in English. I haven't taken the opportunity to look at the New Testament part yet as I am using it to help with my current study in Isaiah. All in all, I like it.

Aiding to restore the cultural context of scriptures
(6/21/2023)
Reviewed by (Angel Marquez Ortiz-Girona, macon, GA, United States) - This is my go to version of the Bible. I enjoy learning the Hebrew words for cultural connotation of things. It really helps put things from a Jewish perspective. This is a great Bible if you are looking for strengthening the validity of the scriptures. If you've heard that Jesus is in every chapter of the Bible and are interested in finding out if that is true. Start here!
Some of the words used in English are for an audience with a larger more intellectual vocabulary. However, I think this could be a positive. Hopefully when the reader comes across a word they don't know, like I have, they will look it up in the dictionary instead of asking someone. The reason is because although the words used might not be a word we use everyday. The word has a certain grouping of ideas or feelings that give context to the situation. This is a good entry point to studying any language because as we all know the Bible was originally written in Hebrew & Greek. So looking up a word I don't know in a language I'm familiar with is less scary than a word I don't know in a language I'm not. However, I have found the exercise to be the same.
Also remember Paul's letter are contextually translated not literally translated. So if some things don't read as you are use to seeing it in traditional versions understand that is the reason. For more information on this subject read this article: https://www.olivetree.com/blog/a-guide-to-finding-the-right-bible-translation/ I'm not sure if e-sword has its own article like this. This is just the first article that came up when I searched for information on the topic of bible translations. The bottom line is if you are using a program like this to study then you are a modern day disciple of Jesus or Yeshua. So let's encourage each other on this journey for this is what spreading the good news is all about making disciples not winning converts. Thanks for reading this, hope this helps. I love you very much. Keep at it!

Reviewed by (Marcia McCance, Stanley, North Carolina, United States) - I've only had this Bible for a short time, and I have many different translations which I consult when I run into a verse that carries a question in my mind. What I have discovered is that the CJB has a point of view that often seems to make more sense, to me. The language is not lofty, it is more plain spoken which I think is a bonus when I am comparing verses. I just love e-Sword and use it write Bible studies and the CJB is a great addition to my resources.

My Go-To Bible
(5/4/2022)
Reviewed by (Ricky Jackson, Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia, US) - The CJB is my go-to Bible. I use the ESV and KJV+ nearly as much, but the CJB keeps the Bible in the Hebraic context instead of making everyone Greek. It's not perfect; none of them are perfect; but it's a very easy to read Bible without losing the original intent.
This is my third time buying the CJB for eSword. I have also bought many CJB Bibles in print, mostly for gifts, and I have the CJB New Testament on audio. The importance in being able to compare all the different versions side-by-side in eSword can not be overstated; it's one of the most powerful features.

Reviewed by (Matthew Witowski, Hammond, Indiana, US) - I study several translations of the Bible to fully understand God's Word, because I don't believe any one translation is perfect, but if you look at a handful of translations of problem passages, you'll get the message. This is a unique one that helps us better understand the Jewish cultural significance of the actions and words of our Lord.
A Very Interesting Translation
(6/12/2021)
Reviewed by (Stephen Jovanovic, Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand) - A translation which gives both a Jewish perspective and understanding which is generally not seen in other translations makes this Bible very interesting.

Good, but not quite
(8/14/2018)
Reviewed by (Royce Bell, SAN BERNARDINO, California, United States) - Remember, it's a one-man translation and comes with his textual biases glaringly evident. If you are okay with that--and I am, since I correct on the fly--then have at it. If you don't know the difference between aleph and alpha, or you depend on whomever you are using for your insight, then be careful. Be very careful.

I have it for another PC laptop (separate purchase) and on my iMac. I could probably count on one hand the number of errors in the CJB that I've found but translating the Scriptures is not an exact science and Dr. Stern has done an amazing job overall. It's easy to read, will help you learn some Hebrew (transliterated), and you don't hear the people speaking in an old English accent in your head. :) I have four hard copies of the CJB as well as the CJB New Testament audio version (no OT yet). Bless you for making this amazing tool available!!

Reviewed by (Mark Merritt, Fiddletown, California, US) - I teach both a Sunday school class and a home Bible study... We are currently studying the Book of Luke in one and the Book of Matthew in the other... Dr. David Stern's "Complete Jewish Bible" (CJB) offers a Biblical translation from the perspective of a Messianic Jew... It has provided the basis for lively discussions in our classes... We have particularly appreciated the transliterations that help us understand the Biblical reverence for God and His various Names that is often lost in other English renderings...
Please also consider Dr. Stern's "Jewish New Testament Commentary" (JNTC) as a companion to the CJB... It is available as an E-Sword module... Jesus and His first disciples were practicing first century Jewish people... The Gospel stories, the Book of Acts and the flavor of the NT letters come alive... Dr. Stern's comments are eye-opening to those of us who do not have a Jewish background... The combination of the translation in the CJB and the commentaries in the JNTC allow us to climb into many of the scenes in the New Testament as observers or even participants... Those perspectives would otherwise be unavailable...
I highly recommend Dr. Stern's work to anyone who wants to understand the Bible from the point of view of those who wrote it and who are recorded in it...

Personally this translation has been better than any commentary I've read. I believe that Dr. Stern's translation embodies the character and Spirit of God's written Word. Every person that I have shared this with has smiled and asked where I got this. They love it. My mom who has been walking with the Lord for over 45 years cried and she read some of her favorite passages. It very accurate and has become the translation that I read and study from. If you enjoy reading and studying the Bible then get this Jewish translation and see for yourself.
"Heb 4:12 See, the Word of God is alive! It is at work and is sharper than any double-edged sword — it cuts right through to where soul meets spirit and joints meet marrow, and it is quick to judge the inner reflections and attitudes of the heart.
Heb 4:13 Before God, nothing created is hidden, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account."

Reviewed by (joseph guarnieri, niagara falls, new york, US) - This product is a necessary addition to my e-sword package. Since we are worshiping a savior who was born into a Jewish family, it is essential to understand as much about his background as possible. The complete Jewish bible achieves this. And having it in the e-sword package on my computer, it integrates well with the various English translations.
One Of The Best
(3/12/2014)
Reviewed by (Judy Colella, Altamonte Springs, FL, US) - I bought the Jewish New Testament (paperback version) by Mr. Stern and we used it for our Children's Fellowship because the translation was so clear and well-written. I've found the Old Testament in this electronic version every bit as good - the fact that both Testaments are translated from the Hebrew make them exceptional in terms of accuracy as well as clarity. I would recommend this version of the Bible to anyone and everyone, especially for those who have trouble with understanding the King James English. The Complete Jewish Bible not only gives the Hebrew names as originally written, but because of its source, has (in my opinion) greater accuracy than anything taken from the Latin and/or Greek, both of which were themselves translated from Hebrew. Why not use the actual source of God's words? Beautiful book, written with heart. Worth it at any price.
The Jeshua Approach

Reviewed by (John Dalziel, Powell River, BC, Canada) - I had friend in Vancouver, a Messianic Jew, who spoke about the New Testament in a way that breathed life into it. I experienced the same feeling as I read the Christmas story in the Complete Jewish Bible. Don't overlook the pronunciation guide that comes with it.
Scripture Studies

Reviewed by (Jack Taylor, Washington, Michigan, United States) -
My parents came from a Christian background but we weren't as faithful as we could be. My religious training was almost non-existent.
Now in my later years I find the need to learn and practice what I allowed to pass me by. I have begun (about 2 years ago) to study the Scriptures from the beginning. In their source language of Hebrew and to avoid any translation shortcomings of others. (incidentally I am now learning Biblical Hebrew)
E-Sword has afforded me the opportunity to compare various versions and interpretations of the Scriptures. I am also looking at or for denominational differences and their causes.
I am so thankful that E-Sword was developed and that it offers all that I can imagine.

Since working on and with E-sword program I have had tremendous pleasure as a missionary doctor het in a remote area of South Africa where it is quite difficult to share problems and find answers from other brothers or sisters who are "on the WaY" (Acts 9:2) with Jesus. The Complete Jewish Bible and KJV with Strong's gives a lot of insight. Thank you for a wonderful privilege.

Reviewed by (Beth Mehaffey, Mechanicsville, VA, US) - I've used CJB for several years now but I finally got the e-Sword version on my laptop and on my iPad. I really love the portability of having it on my iPad. For those new to CJB, Hebrew names and locations are a bit different but easy to adapt to. It's nice to have another translation to compare to at my fingertips. It's also a great price!

Good Reference for Messianics
(2/19/2013)
Reviewed by (Bill Patton, Minneapolis, MN, US) - Stern's CJB is a great reference for Messianics, or Hebrew Roots people who want to get closer to the 1st Century faith. No more greek Jesus, but Yeshua the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! This work helps clear up the misconceptions of Sha'uls's writings (Paul), and thouroughly grounds the new testament writings in their Torah source.

Name of God
(10/28/2012)
Reviewed by (Walter Mueller, Hong Kong, SAR, China) - I like this version very much, especially since it gives the original name of our Savior, Yeshua, as the Angel commanded Yosef in Mathew 1:21.
Furthermore, it also shows clearly that Yeshua is the express image of the Father - Yahweh in the flesh, called Adonai in Exodus 3:15; John 1:23; Mark 12:29-30...; and why Yeshua could say: John 10:30 “I and my Father are one“. John 6:46 “Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God — he has seen the Father”; John 14:9 Yeshua replied to him, "Have I been with you so long without your knowing me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father?”). So, Yahweh could say to Yahweh/Yeshua: “sit at my right hand”.
It's a brain twister, and I can understand why the Jews were ready to stone Yeshua for blasphemy. Our pea-brains can't really understand Eloheem' unless He reveals Himself?
Every member of JW should own and read this version!

Complete Jewish Bible

Good system
(7/16/2012)
Reviewed by (MItch Billington, Vancouver, WA, United States) - E-sword is a great program. Downloads that are controlled by e-sword are quick and easy. The Complete Jewish Bible is another translation that one can use for Bible study. It is disappointing that in some instances the author defers to rabbinic teaching (Exodus 23:19, Exodus 34"26 and Deut 14:21), translating "gedi" as "young animal" instead of "young goat", but over-all it is as good of a translation as NIV.
More than worth the cost.

Overheard in a Jewish Delicatessen
(5/1/2012)
Reviewed by (Jean Doi, Lake Bluff, IL, US) - What fun. I began in Genesis, and it was like eavesdropping on old Jewish men talking about what happened at the beginning. As I read, I'm listening to an almost light-hearted explanation of each of God's six work days, and after each is added, "and that is how it was."
There are many turns of the phrase just different enough from what you're used to reading that it invites new reflection.
Proper nouns are given in Hebrew, often with their meanings in parentheses, and that,too, gives pause for reflection.
And just when you start to speedread because you think you know this stuff, a new word appears to slow you down. For example when God said, "Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night," the word "dome" was new to me, so I looked it up to see how it related to firmament/arch/sky.
Things may not be so light-hearted when I get to Leviticus, but I am finding this a wonderfully refreshing way to read Bible passages you've read before, and I'm happy to have it.

Reviewed by (Eric Stephens, Boaz, AL, 35957) - I have owned Dr. Stern's Complete Jewish Bible on paper for several years now and I will now be using it extensively in e-sword as well. I highly recommend this translation to help the reader hear what the original Jewish audience heard when Jesus (Yeshua) was teaching as well as Paul (Shaul)and the other apostles. Having the Tanakh with the personal names are they are pronounced in Hebrew is, to me, very helpful. I love this translation.

Every Key opens a new door to wisdom and I know much wisdom will be gained by this translation.

Reviewed by (Renate McWright, Live Oak, TX, US) - Excellent study source for those who wish to study the Scriptures through the Hebraic lense. I use this Bible in a Torah Class I teach as it helps new students to find their way around in the arrangement of the Hebrew Tanach versus the Christian Bible. I also like the fact that it is one continuous work rather than two separate covenants. The pagination is continuous even in the New Covenant to show the connectivity of the covenants as spoken of by the Prophet Jeremiah.

Reviewed by (Angela Heess, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia) -
This Complete Jewish Bible helps the reader to connect with the cultural, historical and religious understanding of the Jewish people. Through it, we can come to see the Word of God in a context that helps connect us to the people who came to know the Mighty God millenia ago. The reader can also achieve a laymans understanding of the meaning of some words that have been interpreted with perhaps different nuances than originally intended. I find this to be an invaluable resource, it has become an important part of my personal Bible study and has helped me to delve deeper into the words that out Heavenly Father has passed on to us to aid us in our faith-walk. Those who are searching for information on the Bible for historical, cultural or scientific understanding will also gain much through using the Complete Jewish Bible.

The Complete Jewish Bible VS Other Translations
(6/24/2011)
Reviewed by (Ralph Easter, Mount Airy, NC, US) -
I have read a great deal of passages from this version and I think that it is a well translated version of the Hebrew Scriptures. I believe that it was written especially for my orthodox Jewish ancestors more than the gentiles. If you are looking for a transliterated version, then I think The Scriptures would be the better version. I have studied the Hebrew language and I am learning to translate the Hebrew into English and I prefer The Scriptures over The Complete Jewish Bible for myself. I am a Hebrew biologically and by faith a Messianic Jew. Both Versions are written for the Messianic Jew but again The Scriptures is the better version for accuracy. The two ultimate translations are The Scriptures and the King James versions by far. Well, enough said about that, I hope that this review will help someone choose the right version for themselves.

e-Sword coupled with this Hebrew perspective of Yeshua's Word has opened many many doors and shed light in areas of YHVH's spoken and living Word that I believe no other translation has been able to do - The use of the names of the Creator in their true form instead of the blanket use of "LORD" greatly clarifies areas of study that the King James version and others of the like have not been able to do in the past. Whether we claim to be Catholic , Protestant , Messianic Hebrew or the blanket name of Christian, we all are seeking to worship and obey the GOD of the Hebrews (Defined - those that have crossed over). Its time to cross over.

Unexpected blessing!

Reviewed by (Clem Davidson, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa) -
31 years ago I found that God knows me and I began to want to know Him. As the Holy Spirit enabled, I began even to understand the Authorised King James Version of the Bible, which had always been "closed" to me. Then I was blessed with a NIV Study Bible and understanding began to flood. Years later, as I became 'bolder' in my use of a computer, I discovered e-Sword! Hallelujah! King James, Amplified, The Message, Matthew Henry's Commentary, Albert Barnes' Commentary - all tore away the "frame" within which my relationship with God and my fellows had been confined.
Then I experienced that 'thing' that computers do best, CRASH! So I lost my Amplified, my only cash purchase up to that time. Starting again and wanting to load another Amplified, I 'found' the "Complete Jewish Bible". Fascinated, I bought it instead and found it to be a wonderful Door, opening into vistas of insight that I had not even hoped for!
What a blessing, often to suddenly find an affirmatory, new understanding of the phrase that I'm reading - never 'totally new' but always 'strengthening' of that which I already understand. It's as if Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, wants me to KNOW that He always has better things to discover in that which I think I have already fully explored. Recently, a virus destroyed my computer again. My first purchase, after loading e-Sword to the new Laptop, was another CJB. Thanks to Adonai, Yeshua, the Ruach HaKodesh and Rick-His-servant, for the blessing of understanding, Amen!
