This excellent printing of the Tanach uses red ink in several places. Its major feature, however, is the extremely important etched title page featuring eight Biblical scenes, finely rendered. But the one that demands the most attention is that depicting the Valley of the Dry Bones, for at the top is a rendering of an image of God, the Creator, in the clouds above the scene. To say the least, this is an unusual phenomenon in Hebrew printing.
