The
World English Bible (WEB Translation)
The World English Bible (also known as WEB) is a public domain translation
of the Bible that is currently in draft form. Work on the World English
Bible began in 1997 and was known as the American Standard Version 1997.
The New Testament is considered complete and is available in print.
Features
The World English Bible project was started to produce a modern English
Bible version that is not copyrighted, does not use archaic English (such
as the KJV), or is not translated in Basic English (such as the Bible
In Basic English). The World English Bible follows the American Standard
Version's decision to transliterate the Tetragrammaton, but updates "Jehovah"
to be "Yahweh".
Translation philosophy
It is based on the 1901 American Standard Version, the Greek Majority
Text, and the Hebrew Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. There are seven passes
of editing and proofreading for each book. An initial automated pass updated
approximately 1,000 archaic words, phrases and grammatical constructs.
The first manual pass was to add quotation marks (the ASV had none) and
other punctuation, and to check the translation against the Greek and
Hebrew texts where there are significant textual variants or the meaning
is unclear.
