Christian Hebrew Versions
Around half of the 20 known Christian translations of Matthew were also done by authors who were formerly rabbis, or came from a rabbinical training: Domenico Gerosolimitano and Giovanni Battista Jona, Rudolph Bernhard, Johan Kemper, Simon Rosenbaum (of Uppsala), Christian David Ginsburg and Isaac Salkinson. However the principle modern Hebrew version of Matthew is based on the New Testament of a German, Franz Delitzsch.
