Fox is perhaps best known for his translation into English of the Torah . His translation is heavily influenced by the principles of Martin Buber and Franz Rosenzweig , who in 1962 completed their translation of the Old Testament into German . The main guiding principle of the work is that the sound of the Hebrew text should be translated as closely as possible. Instances of Word Play , Pun s, word repetition, Alliteration , and other literary devices of sound are reproduced in English. Fox's translation of the Torah was published in 1995 by Schocken Books (a division of Random House ) as ''The Five Books of Moses''. Fox continues to translate, and in 1999 published '''''Give Us a King!''''', a translation of the Books Of Samuel . Fox is the husband of Jewish educator Rabbi Cherie Koller-Fox and father of three children, Akiva Fox, Leora Koller-Fox, and Ezra Fox. SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY
