Bibles & Study Resources
- World English Bible with Deuterocanon
- This is the original, classic World English Bible that uses “Yahweh” for God’s
Proper Name in the Old Testament and U.S.A. spelling. Other variants are available, all of
which use “LORD” or “GOD” for God’s Proper Name in the Old Testament. The World English
Bible is in the Public Domain.
- The World Messianic Bible
- The World Messianic Bible has also been known as the Hebrew Names Version (HNV) and
the World English Bible: Messianic Edition (WEB:ME). The World Messianic Bible is in the
Public Domain.
- LXX2012: Septuagint in American English 2012
- The Septuagint with Apocrypha, translated from Greek to English by Sir Lancelot C. L. Brenton
and published in 1885, with some language updates (American English). This is a translation of the Old
Testament and Apocrypha/Deuterocanon from Hebrew to Greek to 19th Century British English, with some
updates of spelling and word usage to contemporary American English. The original English translation
was done by Sir Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton and published by Samuel Bagster & Sons, Ltd., in London
in 1851. It has entered the Public Domain due to the passage of sufficient time. In the process of
scanning and typing the text, the original poetry and prose formatting, as well as peripheral material
like introductions and notes, have been omitted. This edition of the Septuagint has some language updates.
Brenton's word order and punctuation has been mostly retained, meaning that quotation marks are not used,
and sentences within quotes may not start with capital letters, as was standard usage in 1851. Names
transliterated from Greek to those transliterated from Hebrew in the common English Bibles often differ.
These language updates are dedicated to the Public Domain by the author of those edits, Michael Paul
Johnson. Therefore this edition may be freely copied, published, etc.
