Amazon sells this translation and has this to say about it:
“The Hebraic-Roots Version (HRV) Scriptures is published by the Institute for Scripture Research (ISR). The Tanak (Old Testament) portion is translated primarily from the Hebrew Masoretic Text but contains over 2000 footnotes giving important alternate readings from the Aramaic Peshitta Tanak, Aramaic Targums, Dead Sea Scrolls, Greek Septuagent, and Samaritan Pentateuch. The New Testament portion is the first and only New Testament to be translated from Aramaic and Hebrew manuscripts.”

I have been looking for a bible translation closer to the original language. The idea that Christ replaced all Judaism started so very early in the Chistian church that any words considered Jewish was changed, I found, from the very earliest translations. I found a reference to a Jewish feast day translated as the day of the week it happened on. I would so much like to read straight from the original, and I simply wasn’t given the time or intellect to learn the original languages. This sounds good to me.

What do you consider to be the original?

A-Omega;7 What do you consider to be the original?
What a complicated qestion for someone who hasn't studied translation history! I am so in the dark. I am still studying the early church, the first 500 years, but not the translations. I am dependent on people who have studied who can guide me. I just want a translation that is as close to the original language it was written in as I can find. I was shaken to see a Jewish word for a feast day translated as a week day, wanted it to stay true to the original word. I thought most translation use other very early translation to help them, as well as using the original language? And that often personal beliefs of the translators, or the accepted beliefs of the years the translation was done in affects the translation in spite them trying to report correctly.

I am no authority. Perhaps you have studied this?

There are a lot of Bibles like this out there today. I personally like The New Messianic Version of the Bible, because it reads like an Amplified Bible, as well as restoring a lot of the "hebraism" to the book.
You can find it on Amazon, and at, The New Messianic Version of the Bible

All Jews are hebraic Jews. The term Hebrew is one of the ancient names for Jew.
Who are the hebraic Jews

Hellenistic Judaism was a form of Judaism in the ancient world that combined Jewish religious tradition with elements of Greek culture.
Hellenistic Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Acts 6 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.


You can say that Christmas is an Hellenistic Christians holiday.
