Since the overwhelming evidence is that Jesus and the Apostles used the Septuagint, and earliest Christianity also used it, the only reason to change the source is to change the meaning of Christianity...

Did you take modern Hebrew or Biblical Hebrew?

Biblical 4 full years, plus work on the DSS and a readings course and a semester of Aramaic.
Also took Koine Greek (4 years) and 5 years Latin and some others as well.

In addition, another "editor" working on the new Hebrew Bible edition is of the Presbyterian Church USA, a professor with the liberal Union Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities.Will he use his own; or will he be provided with a NEW hat and seer stone?

BONEHEAD!!Ya used the WRONG line above!!
It is therefore alarming that the United Bible Society would invite a BYU Mormon faculty member to work as an "editor" ...

But; them two fellows could perhaps work on this as well:
20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, Never mind, all is wellI am well enough off. I then said to my mother,
I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.

Ok, that’ll work ... too many people studying modern Hebrew think they know Biblical Hebrew which is like trying to read Chaucer English vs modern English ...

Or you could stick with the Septuagint and avoid all these hassles. Further, you would also being using the text which is in all likelihood the closest to the original Hebrew scriptures. The Septuagint? You're kidding, right? You realise that this is the "translation" which was so recognisably poor that a 2nd century heretic actually had to re-translate the Greek book of Daniel from the Hebrew, just to make it comprehensible?
To: SkyDancer
Very true. Same for Greek.
BTW, I also read Old(e) and Middle English and I helped with a translation of a Vitae into modern English - THAT was fun.

Of course the concern here is how Parry's Mormonist indoctrination may "inform" his editorial decisions with regards to the Hebrew Text, I agree with this, and add the concern about a liberal being added as well. Both could degrade the work and translation in subtle, yet profound ways.

It’s a material change, but not as great as you would think.
This is because MH was essentially recreated as a modern language directly from the old language.
