Obernik contributed to the Me'assef a great number of fables, and was one of the most active of the Biurists. He translated into German the Books of Joshua and Judges, adding a short commentary (bi'ur), and (with Samuel Detmold [Wikidata]) the Book of Samuel. The translation of the whole Tanakh, with the bi'ur, was edited by Obernik under the title of Minḥah ḥadashah (Vienna, 1792–1806).[1][2]
