Ginsberg was also one of the key translators of the New Jewish Publication Society of America Version of the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh, the second translation published by the Jewish Publication Society of America (JPS), superseding its 1917 version.
Current editions of this version refer to it as The Jewish Publication Society Tanakh Translation.
Originally known by the abbreviation “NJV” (New Jewish Version), it is now styled as “NJPS.” The translation follows the Hebrew or Masoretic text scrupulously, taking a conservative approach regarding conjectural emendations.
Attested variants from other ancient versions are also mentioned in footnotes, even for the Torah, in places where the editors thought they might shed light on difficult passages in the Masoretic text.
[1] Ginsberg has been described as "one of the greatest minds in the Jewish world" of his generation, along with other professors at JTS, such as Abraham Joshua Heschel, Mordecai Kaplan, and Louis Finkelstein.
