What is the ASV Translation? ▼

Released in 1901, the American Standard Version is prized for its strict, word-for-word accuracy to the original Greek and Hebrew.

  • •Literal Precision: It avoids smoothing over difficult sections, delivering the precise, raw structure of the original manuscripts.
  • •The Name Jehovah: Its defining feature is its deep reverence for God's covenant name, consistently translating it as "Jehovah" rather than "the LORD."
  • •A Translation Anchor: Because of its uncompromising accuracy, the ASV is widely used as a foundational tool for intense academic and personal study.
