Congratulations Robert Alter

[nili]

@Dana, the books just arrived and I've found nothing of note in his rendering of 1 Samuel 1:19. His translation is identical to that of Berlin's Jewish Study Bible.

Thank you, Nili,  for the above information. I'll certainly remember his name and would like to add his Tanach to the couple I've already got.   I like that he has the Hebrew language included and his impressive observations. I hope to start a thread when I've a little more time.

Just FYI: Alter's three-volume Tanakh does not include the Masoretic text, but Sefaria is readily available online.
