Brigham Young University professor Donald W. Parry of Hebrew Bible
Studies in the College of Humanities, has been named as an editor for a
new edition of Biblia Hebraica Quinta, the fifth edition of the Hebrew
Old Testament.
\"This work will impact virtually all translations of the Old Testament
(including the King James Version) for many years to come, including
all translations of all of the world's languages,\" Parry said.
Parry is one of several editors from all over the world and one of a few from the United States.
He anticipates this new edition of the Hebrew Bible will remain the
standard edition until someone discovers a new batch of Dead Sea
Scrolls.
Parry said Latter-day Saints will be impacted, either directly or
indirectly, along with other Christians and Jews from the worldwide
community
