Geneva Bible is very good (even the pro-KJV crowd has trouble faulting it), but good luck finding a Tolle Lege print copy for less than $30.

It’s also worth having a copy of the Septuagint/LXX around, as that skews much closer to the Tanakh/Old Testament that Jesus read and quoted from (as well as the Jews of that era), as the Masoretic Text they use today (and 99% of bibles, including the KJV) wasn’t finalized and codified until ~600-900 AD, several hundred years after Jesus.

The Orthodox Study Bible follows the Septuagint, using the NKJV (Masoretic based) as the primary text, and editing it to reflect the older LXX text where it differs.

I prefer Brenton’s KJV-inspired LXX, but it’s hard to find a copy that isn’t half in Greek.
