Using the standard Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) text, the Hebrew-English Old Testament displays, on facing pages, the ESV Old Testament alongside the original Hebrew. On each spread, one page shows the English rendering of a passage while the other shows the Hebrew, enabling readers to work through either language undistracted and uninterrupted.
A durable hardcover and Smyth-sewn binding ensure this volume will last for many years. Anyone learning or proficient in Hebrew will find this a resource for everyday reading and study, as well as a comparison tool to see how the ESV translates Old Testament passages.

Question
Are the translations on facing pages?
For instance if I open the OT to page 100 will Hebrew be on one page and the translation on a facing page 100?

answer 1
The translations are on facing pages. One page is all Hebrew and the facing page is all English. The pages don't have the same number, though. That's my only complaint about the book. The English would be p. 99 and the Hebrew p. 100 for the same text. That makes it necessary to look at a separate BHS if you need to cite page numbers.
