It is the first such Bible available to students of Scriptureswho speak English. With it, one can utilize lexicons, word books, and otherrecent aids.

The Hebrew text in the Old Testament is the Masoretictext. The Greek text in the New Testament is the Received Text (differingslightly from other printed editions).

There are two English translations: one located directlyunder each Hebrew or Greek word and "The Literal Translation of theBible" in a narrow column to the left. The latter straight-forwardtranslation makes it easy to see proper word order in English and to assimilatethe message of the text. Both translations are word-for-word, but are notabsolute, literal representations of the Hebrew and Greek words.

The personal name of God is rendered either Jehovahor Jah. The translators preferred JHWH to YHWH becauseof the established English usage for Bible names beginning with this letter(e.g., Jacob and Joseph). Greek names for Old Testament persons in theNew Testament are spelled as in the Old Testament. "Mary" isrendered Miriam in consistency with the Greek form when translatedunder the Greek word.

Above each Hebrew or Greek word is a number as it appearsin Strong's Concordance and lexicons. This opens Bible study possibilitiesfor those who wish to understand the Scriptures better. The Hebrew andthe Greek alphabets appear before the preface.
