The Laws of Ribbis Book

In the realm of English translations, the Artscroll translation is a good one, albeit a little flowery - my guess is that the translator's intention is to reflect the poetic nature of the book (Note: when compared to the Artscroll Tanach, the translations differ with the Tanach being much more reader friendly/straight forward without the literary flourish). My chavruta (study partner at synagogue) and I have been "learning" with the volume for about a year now, taking turns reading the Hebrew and translating what we've read. It must be said upfront that although Iyov is a difficult book, it's a pleasure to study in depth. It's a story that is loaded with puns, well crafted, leaving me with the impression that whoever wrote it was brilliant. That aside, the commentary in this volume is very well curated from traditional sources and comprehensive. The commentary doesn't use (secular) scholarly sources, so if that's important to you, you many want to supplement this commentary with another (The Book of Job: A Biography by Mark Larrimore, for example). The commentary also summarizes each character's dialogue at its conclusion, which is a helpful tool to provide extra clarity to the multi-party exchange going on between Iyov and his so-called friends. If you're looking for a commentary on Iyov, this is a good place to start.
