I like how the recordings are divided into the weekly Torah portions. It makes it easy to listen to weekly!

Not the modern version

Be advised: This is the 1917 translation published by the Jewish Publication Society, which was based on now-century-old exegetical principles and Biblical scholarship, and retains stylistic archaisms that date back to the King James version: in particular, the rendering of the Hebrew particle “waw” [vav] invariably as “and.” “Waw” can also be translated as “but”, “now”, “hence”, “therefore”, or other shades of meaning untranslatable into English. The JPS published a completely de novo translation of the Torah in the 1970s that essentially supersedes the 1917 version; and even the newer translation is now in need of revision as Biblical scholarship and archeology have advanced since its publication.

Well, now this just makes Exodus even more confusing!
