Thank you, Rodney, for the compliment. Indeed, if OUP cooperates the Pentateuch
will be out by SBL Atlanta (November 2003). Ben Wright and I are the editors of
NETS. The translation per se of the Penteuch, however, is being done by Rob
Hiebert (Gen), Larry Perkins (Exod), Dirk Buchner (Lev), Peter Flint (Num), Mel
Peters (Deut).Plans are to have a volume out every fall until completion.
Prophets will likely be 2004.
There some eight translations into modern languages in process. Prominent among
these is LXX-Deutsch, which is in fact carried out , like NETS, under the aegis
of the IOSCS.
