Although Tobit in the Revised Standard Version of 1957 was translated from the short version of the manuscripts Alexandrinus and Vaticanus, the New Revised Standard Version of 1991 presents the longer version of Sinaiticus, supplemented by the Vetus Latina.
So the revision of the New American Bible will be the first Catholic Bible with the text of Tobit governed by these Semitic texts from Qumran.
- Fitzmyer, more than ten years ago.
1 "My concern with the RSV is, being an older translation, whether it is sufficiently based upon the latest editions of original language texts."
