I've recently purchased a Bible from Goodwill titled "The Holy Scriptures" which so happens to be based on Masoretic text. Book was copyrighted back in 1917 so thought this would somehow would be "less tainted" than various translations in print today as well as a comparative study aid in scriptures. The scriptural litmus test I used were Song of Solomon 1:5 (black and comely vs black but comely) and Deuteronomy 28:68. Shout out to Moreh Duane for teaching us the difference between translations ....
