- Vol. 4, Sefer Bamidbar (Numbers): printed 1835
- Vol. 5, Sefer Devarim (Deuteronomy): printed 1837
Each volume includes the Hebrew text with Targum Onkelos, Rashi, the Biur (commentary), and the Targum Ashkenazi (German translation printed in Hebrew letters), credited on the title page to Moses Mendelssohn. Printed by S. Arnstein und Söhne, Sulzbach.
Provenance: Both title pages carry ink stamps from Chizuk Amuno Congregation, Baltimore, Maryland and Beth Hamidrash Association, an interesting piece of American Jewish history.
