Jewish and Israel Studies

Published in Jerusalem by Mosad Ha-Rav Kuk. Because of the way McKeldin does its cataloguing of biblical books, the set is not shelved together. Thus the three volumes of Genesis (בראשית) are catalogued as BS1235.3 .K55 1997; the two volumes of Exodus (שמות) as BS1245.3 .H35 1991, and so forth. Some, but not all volumes have the term דעת מקרא listed in the cataloguing information. You'll have to work a little to locate them all. (If anyone wants to take on the job of getting all the call numbers, please pass them on to me and I'll add them here to the bibliography.) The set is a good indication of the state of modern religiously oriented scholarship in Israel. The commentary is in Hebrew. Upon completion of the project, one of the editors, Yehuda Kil, published Li-gemaro shel ha-mifʻal ha-farshani "Daʻat Mikra" (Alon Shevut: Mishpaḥat Ḳil, 2002–03) McK BS1186 .K55 2003.

"The Stone edition." Text in Hebrew and English on facing pages; commentary in English.

Written by four outstanding Torah scholars, the JPS Torah Commentary series represents a fusion of the best of the old and new. Utilizing the latest research to enhance our understanding of the biblical text, it takes its place as one of the most authoritative yet accessible Bible commentaries of our day. This JPS Torah Commentary series guides readers through the words and ideas of the Torah. Each volume is the work of a scholar who stands at the pinnacle of his field. Every page contains the complete traditional Hebrew text, with cantillation notes, the JPS translation of the Holy Scriptures, aliyot breaks, Masoretic notes, and commentary by a distinguished Hebrew Bible scholar, integrating classical and modern sources. Each volume also contains supplementary essays that elaborate upon key words and themes, a glossary of commentators and sources, extensive bibliographic notes, and maps.
