Audio files – the Hebrew Bible, read by Fr. Abraham Schmuelof (one mp3 file per chapter; formerly hosted by Audio Scriptures International, then Academy of Ancient Languages).
Orthodox Jewish Bible (pdf) – translated by Dr. Phillip Goble of Artists for Israel International. All significant Hebrew words (or in the NT the Hebrew words lying behind the Greek ones) are transliterated rather than translated into English, so as to enhance recognition of significant words, themes and ideas.
