'''The Jerusalem''' was originally published in France as ''La Bible de Jérusalem'' and was released in English in 1966.
The translation contains not only the commonly accepted Books of the Bible cannon but also the deuterocanonical books commonly known as the [[Apocrypha]]; namely the books of Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, and Ecclesiasticus. Also included are portions of Esther and Daniel that have also been considered deuterocanical (i.e., Esther 1:1a-1r; 3:13a-13g; 4:17a-17z; 5:1a-1f,2a,2b; 8:12a-12v; 10:3a-31 and Daniel 3:24-90; chapters 13, 14).
According to the Editor's Foreward to the Reader's Edition, the translation's purpose was to meet two needs of the Catholic Church: the need to keep abreast of the times and the need to deepen theological thought.
A unique feature of the translation is the use of the Divine Name, presented as [[Yahweh]] whenever the Tetragrammaton occured in the original Hebrew manuscripts.
