This work of several volumes contains the entire text of the Old Testament in Hebrew characters in accordance with the original manuscript of Leningrad, which is though to be the most complete and most ancient of all the manuscripts known to be in existence at this time. A literal translation of each Hebrew word appears directly underneath each word. A literalistic method was chosen because even though many of the expressions and idiomatic usages may not seem to have a clear meaning when translated directly into the Spanish, this approach was preferred in order to bring the reader closer to the original text.
