For me, the Masorah, and only the Masorah. There ain't nothin' new about, so there is no need for a "new" translation.
That's what happens when "Elevation Church" et al come into vogue... more contextualization, less accuracy.

When in doubt get a JPS (Jewish Publication Society) translation of the Torah and Tanach (Five books of Moses and the Bible)

I’ll stick with the Bomberg Masoretic underlying the KJV, thanks.

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.

BYU ping.
Having taken Hebrew at BYU and again at Moody and UCSD, I am concerned about the ‘editing’ of this.

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?

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.
