This volume is of great importance, being the first edition of the first English translation of the Hebrew Bible by an American Jew, commonly called The Leeser Bible. Isaac Leeser (1806-1868) was an Ashkenazi Jew born in Neunkirchen, Westphalia, Prussia and orphaned at an early age. He moved to Richmond, Virginia to join his uncle Zalman Rehine at the age of 18. In 1829 he received an invitation to occupy the pulpit of Philadelphia's congregation Mikveh Israel. Leeser became a pioneer of the Jewish pulpit in the United States, and founder of the Jewish press of America. In producing this translation of the Hebrew Bible, his aim was to provide the Jewish community of America with an accurate English text of the Bible, unaffected or influenced by conversionist motivations. In his preface to the volume, Leeser writes "The translator is an Israelite in faith, in the full sense of the word... that in his going through this work, he has thrown aside all bias, discarded every preconceived opinion, and translated the text before him without regard to the result thence arising for his creed." and he continues to state that this translation produced for those of the same religious persuasion is "a version of the Bible which has not been made by the authority of churches in which they have no confidence."
