Besides, I'm Jewish anyway.

So, only the Tanakh, composed of the Torah, Neviim, and Ketuvim, all in the original Hebrew and Aramaic, are accurate, since they have never undergone a single translation, ever.

Thank you! That's my next area of study. You might have noticed that my fondness for the King James has to do with its Old Testament background--the Ben Chayyim Masoretic Hebrew (1500s) edition (also known as the Bomberg or Second Great Rabbinic Bible). There is also less controversy and doubt for our Christian sect regarding the King James New Testament than in other source texts and those with heretical revisions.

I'm interested in reading the Pentateuch and Rashi’s Commentary – the linear translation into English by Rabbi Abraham Ben Isaiah and Rabbi Benjamin Sharfman. Do you have any info on that?
