What is the WEB Translation? ▼

The World English Bible is a modern, highly accurate translation in the public domain, created to preserve readability without licensing restrictions.

  • •Modern Update: It is a clean revision of the 1901 American Standard Version (ASV), updating archaic language (like "thee" and "thou") into clear, contemporary English.
  • •God's Sacred Name: Rather than replacing the Hebrew Tetragrammaton with "the LORD," it faithfully translates God's covenant name directly as "Yahweh."
  • •Fully Free: Released completely in the public domain, the WEB translation carries no copyrights or royalties, allowing anyone to freely share, copy, and publish scripture.
