I hope you didn’t think I was going to give you my top ten translations.

My top five reasons for not listing my top ten translations.

1. I don’t think others care or should care what my top ten translations are.
2. I’m not qualified to judge which ones are the best.
3. Related to number 2, it would mainly be my preference, which is what most top ten lists are anyway, which is what Douglas Mangum at Biblia Hebraica asserts.
4. I’m determined not to be a “fan” of any one translation which would be my #1 translation.
5. There are only two translations I’ve read all the way through.

I do think that for someone who is interested in choosing or switching, the top ten lists can be educational. Some that I have seen are:

• “This Lamp” favorite bibles via He Is Sufficient
• My Ranking of English Bible Translations – Biblia Hebraica

Any others?
