The comprehensive commentary of Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch to the Chumash is based on his interpretative method of precise elucidation of the text and meaning of the words.

His son, Dr. Mendel Hirsch, applied this same method for his commentary to The Twelve Prophets, and has brought to light the timeless words of these Prophets in an original, inspiring fashion. This English translation of the Hirschian commentary to Sefer Trei Asar by Dr. Isaac Levy is written in a clear idiom and will attract both scholar and student alike.
