Attested variants from other ancient versions are also mentioned in footnotes, even for the Torah, in places where the editors thought they might shed light on difficult passages in the Masoretic text. </p><p>The order of the books is as found in published <a href="/wiki/Jewish_English_Bible_translations" title="Jewish English Bible translations">Tanakhim</a>, rather than that of common <a href="/wiki/Modern_English_translations_of_the_Bible" class="mw-redirect" title="Modern English translations of the Bible">English Bibles</a>.

Furthermore, the division into chapters follows the conventions established by printers of the <a href="/wiki/Hebrew_text" class="mw-redirect" title="Hebrew text">Hebrew text</a>, which occasionally differs from English Bibles. In the <a href="/wiki/Psalms" title="Psalms">Psalms</a>, for instance, the titles are often counted as the first verse, causing a difference of one in verse numbering for these Psalms with respect to other English Bibles. </p><p>The editor in chief of the Torah was <a href="/wiki/Harry_Orlinsky" title="Harry Orlinsky">Harry Orlinsky</a>, who had been a translator of the <a href="/wiki/Revised_Standard_Version" title="Revised Standard Version">Revised Standard Version</a> and would become the only translator of that version to work also on the <a href="/wiki/New_Revised_Standard_Version" title="New Revised Standard Version">New Revised Standard Version</a>.
