About this translation

The World English Bible (WEB) is a modern English update of the 1901 American Standard Version, translated word for word from the original languages. It is in the public domain, which means it can be copied and shared freely.

It uses the name Yahweh where the Hebrew text has God's personal name, which many other translations print as "the LORD." This is the 66-book edition.

Scripture quotations are from the World English Bible (WEB), a public-domain translation, text from eBible.org. "World English Bible" is a trademark of eBible.org; the words here are unchanged.
