Israeli professor completes 30-year Bible editing project

Israeli professor has given the Tanakh (the so-called "Old Testament" of the Bible) its first editing overhaul in nearly 500 years, and it only took him three decades to complete.

"The people of Israel took upon themselves, at least in theory, one version of the Bible, down to its last letter," Professor Menachem Cohen told the Associated Press from his office at Bar-Ilan University.
