Open English Bible (US Spelling)
Description
The Open English Bible (OEB) is a completely free modern English translation of the Bible, released under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) licence — effectively public domain. It is derived from the public domain Twentieth Century New Testament (1901–1904) and other public domain sources, extensively revised into contemporary English.
The OEB project began in 2013 with the goal of creating a modern, idiomatic, and completely free English translation suitable for the 21st century. The translation philosophy emphasizes dynamic equivalence — conveying the meaning and impact of the original texts in natural modern English, rather than a rigid word-for-word rendering.
Important note: The OEB project is ongoing. This release contains 44 books (the complete New Testament plus a selection of Old Testament books). Several Old Testament books have not yet been published by the OEB project. As new books are released, this dataset will be updated.
Spelling: This edition uses US English spelling. A Commonwealth/UK spelling edition is also available.
