Shalom, Please let me know how to receive an aramaic printed bible with english transliteration. What is the different between the modern hebrew and old hebrew (time of Abraham and Moses)? How can I learn hebrew free through online the most effective way or method?Thank you.Oommen Philip
Hi!We have added some Aramaic Old and New Testament Bibles and books here: http://www.originalbibles.com/?s=AramaicWe should update it with even more Aramaic Bibles and Books in the near future.There are a number of differences between classical and modern Hebrew. However, if you study classical Hebrew you should have no problem understanding modern hebrew.To learn Biblical Hebrew you might want to start here: http://www.animatedhebrew.com/lectures/index.html
Regarding the comments on the PCE KJV with the capitalization of spirit. The 1611 original in I John 5:8 capitalizes Spirit, Water and Blood. Other KJV editions have lower case spirit, water,and blood. What is desired is consistency. Only capitalizing spirit in I Jn 5:8 conveys the impression that it is a proper noun and refers to the Spirit in I Jn 5:6. Hope this helps.

Hi Tom, Would you happen to have a link to a scanned version of your PCE that is pre 1926? I am still to find such as an original. There are a few modern versions but….
Dear Sir how can i buy a copy of the 1611 Edition KJV Original print thank you
Hi, new printed copies are available from a number of places on the internet – a google search should assist. Original print versions are either in museums or in private collections. Alternatively, feel free to print from our PDFs or images to make your own!
How do I download the entire book in a PDF. I’m using an Android phone and it dosn’t seem possible.
A long time back we decided that we would split each Bible into a page at a time so as to reduce bandwidth and to ensure that viewers do not have to wait for 500MB to download before they can see the pages. So, the answer is downloads are not really possible – in certain situations special requests for one Bible may be considered but it does take a lot of time and effort to ensure that such is done.
I just wanted to ask you to put any links you used to download a book to host on your website to the webpage you hosted it on. You could add a disclaimer above it.
P.S.
Big fan of your website, I make it a point to recommend it to anyone who might be interested.
I have a “Bagster’s Polyglot Bible” London”Samuel Bagster and Sons, Limited, 15 Paternoster row Holy Bible.
It was gifted to Mabel P. Preutiss from her Papa for Christmas 1889. She was a Christian Scientist living in Tomah, Wisconsin. She later became Mrs. Mabel P. Sparling of 387 S. 17th Street.
The Bible pages are yellowed but in excellent condition. Not dog eared pages or markings other than the inscription on the front two pages. The cover is leather with some wear to the edges. Would you be interested in buying this book?
Frequently we get offered a Bible to buy or a request to sell!!!
I have spent years of my life to provide original Bibles to the world in the hope that it does help them!!! With much pain I have worked around the world to provide such for free to people that want to read the word of God! I have not asked for a cent nor have I had advertising on this site! I have worked multiple jobs to pay the bills…. Do not try to sell the word of God on this site!!!
Somebody posted after me, so I just wanted to post again to make sure you got the message (since you didn’t reply)

Hi,
Sources of Bibles/books is a nice idea, but we do not save such data due to various reasons. To go backwards to provide such is a tens/hundreds of hours task that we cannot allocate the time for. We would rather spend the time on providing more Bibles/books.
However, we would like to provide a download system that ensures no abuse but addresses the need of your source request.
Any suggestions? The problem is that we are accessed by high speed robots and also normal users that want to download an entire Bible (so they can access it on their local device without the internet). The problem is that a simple desire to read a page then turns to download a full Bible and then to download in advance any and all Bibles/books – this is potentially hundreds to thousands of terrabytes of downloads.
At present we provide download links to those that really need a download, but we slow such requests so that users do not abuse our free systems.
I hope you understand that our goal is to help people in the world read the Bible for free. At present it is one page at a time – but we do meet that goal!
However, if somebody is willing to assist with a Bibliography/links page that has alternative download sources of the Bibles/books on this site we should be happy to add such a page to the menu!
I might have something useful for you, but I’ve been busy with my own projects and don’t have the time to dedicate to maintaning such a webpage.
What I have is a pdf contaning a list I made of free websites, e-books, and videos to help with learning the environments and cultures of locations referred to in the bible. But I only have my cellphone for internet, so it may be a while before I set up a link for you to download a copy (since I can’t e-mail it to you). You also might want to add links to some of the websites listed in it to your website.
Hi,
We look forward to it!
I uploaded it to fileconvoy.com (which I highly recommend by the way), It will be available for 28 days before it’s deleted.
The link is http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=g37f6ad437c3fe666999722524d11722cd0e4ba8b0
Hi,
Have got the PDF and it is a very good list of links! I think a seperate page called Recommended Links would be good for it. Hope to change the pdf to a webpage ASAP.
Many thanks!
One more thing to consider, I plan on uploading the first listing to a different address and remaking the webpage since I didn’t know what I was dooing the first time. Once I’m done I’ll leave a comment with the new links after I e-mail the website to remove the old devision the links currently lead to.
If your going to use it to make a webpage I recommend you replace the suggested e-book reading software with STDUViewer (The link for where to download it is http://stdutility.com/stduviewer.html) Since I havent updated the pdf to recommend that viewer instead yet.
It might also be helpful to have the odt [Open Text Document] I originally typed the list into since that might allow you to simply copy and paste the text from any of the parts you want while preserving their format.
The address to download it is http://www.fileconvoy.com/ dfl.php?id=gdd670ef7fcecb39f 9997229979bd5c6499713d292
Hi,
Have added the page. Hope it helps many!
Thanks.
What is different about the 1789 KJV Bible as compared to say the 1909 edition? Why would someone prefer to use the 1789 edition rather than the 1909 edition?
Hello–
I am the editor of a small journal devoted to Bible translations (Bible Review Journal), the publishing arm of the International Society of Bible Collectors (biblecollectors.org). Just stumbled across your site. I really like it, and I think our readers would access your site. I would like to publicize your site in a future issue of our journal. If you would like to consider this, I would love to hear from you.
Mike Kuykendall
Hi,
Yes, please feel free to talk about our site. We act like a library where people can access original Bibles.
We provide this service 100{5299dab17e5548433dfff9152c34799b7cae913940dfbdb9621acf14fb923d23} for free to users and all costs are paid for without donations, advertising etc. i.e. The editor pays for such from his pocket to help.
We are thinking about expanding to include church sermons and a lot more of the original manuscripts, but all takes time and it is one step at a time! :)
Best wishes
Hi,
I have recently learned a lot about King James, and although I have the King James 1611 version, I know its not the original. Also, King James did not have a hand in translating the scrolls, but I know as King he authorised 47 Scholars in translating the original scrolls from Hebrew/Greek language. I also learned that King James had written his reasons in the beginning of the scriptures as to why he wanted the scrolls translated. Can you tell me where I can purchase the original King James bible as it was taken out for a reason.
Hello,
First of all thank you for your great work. Where can I find a link for the Tyndale English Bible 1551 PDF download?
Thank you.
Best
Hi,

Hi, Could you please help me down load a version of Hindi Bible published before the year 1955 so that I can add study material and publish it for free ( Creative Commons, attribute Share alike). I need study material in English also so that I can translate and add them for free use.
I would love to thank you so much for all of Thoughtful & Gracious work…I have been searching all night for a real 1611 Hebrew convert ; lo & behold … God Bless You all–I’ll certainly pass it along as requested… Se y’all soon

Hi, I appreciate the fact that you have original versions of the bible on your site, which is awesome.
But I am still looking for old and new testament texts in their original language of how they were first written or discovered. I don’t see Paleo Hebrew or Phonecian texts here, And I’m not sure on the Koine Greek as the years marked next to it are by authors centuries after it was written. If possible can someone please tell me the languages of the ORIGINAL texts and where to find them.
Thank you and God bless you.
Yes we would like to have more manuscripts but they are very hard to come by. We have a few books in our Bible Aids section that has history of the Bible etc.
You have to realize that such ancient manuscripts e.g. Koine (commoner Greek) that you are seeking are in fragments and again fall in the manuscript section.
The Septuagint LXX is the Old testament in Greek, the Hebrew Bible that we have is the generally accepted version of the Old testament..The New Testament in Greek is also on our site. Any other options you might consider Aramaic etc.
You might want to start with http://www.csntm.org/Manuscripts.aspx
http://www.codexsinaiticus.org/en/manuscript.aspx
I heard that the word “alone” in Genesis 2:18 means “all in one” in the original Hebrew text. If so, could you comfirm this or/and tell me how I can?
I heard that the word “alone” in Genesis 2:18 means “all in one” in the original Hebrew Text.
Could someone tell me how to confirm this?
The Greek Erasmus New Testament as well as the Novum Instrumentum Omne 1516 by Desiderius Erasmus on shos and download as having one page, the cover of the book. Is this correct?
A million thanks for making these ancient texts available. You are commended for you labors and generosity.

My apologies, I reviewed the Song of Solomon again Geneva with the Patriots Bible and can not say (as of now) that I see descrepencies… I’m not sure if I was using a different year or what, but I would like to retract the earlier comment .
Thank you for what you are doing. I am doing a word by word comparison of the PCE and 1611 KJV. I want to post the data on my website, but it exceeds the 20 mb limit of WordPress. I uploaded to fph, but I could not get a link to work. How are you able to post the complete bibles? Thank you and thanks again for what you are doing.
HI,
Use the Adobe PDF embed html tag or use Google Docs to embed within site for your file.
Blessings. I wonder if I can help find the exact edition of King James Bible since I have this incomplete and want annexing leaves missing and those that are damaged. I would send scanned leaves as beginning my Bible and internal sequence to make your search easier, so ask them to send me the email address to send.
thank you very much in advance for your beautiful work. God continue to bless them
Hi,
That could be an extremely long job that I would suggest you just use or KJV Bibles on this site and check pages. As since 1611 there have been so many publishers and “revisions” so it is a matter that could take months for me to search and maybe never get the answer.
I suggest you start by year of publication and where it was published (e.g. London) on those starting sheets you have and then use our search to find dates.
HI,
If you are the person that sent the email with the scans. From Such maybe the Red Letter KJV? In another scan you have Nelson Beecher Keyes name at the top. You can see on Google his works.
Beyond such I cannot assist. You may try posting those images online and asking for assistance here and on other sites.
In the 1611 KJV there is a letter that looks like an A with a curved left side. In modern copies the symbol is either and or &. What is the curved A called?

I have been searching in vain for a 1382 Wycliffe complete bible to download.
Can you help me?
Hi,
We have tried at length and were unable to get such. However we were able to find a 1425 partial new Testament and an 1800’s version that claims to be an exact copy of the 1384/5 NT We have also got NT 1400 manuscript.
Do you want these to be uploaded?
Dear sir I need original tamil bible version…please help me
Hi,

Dear Sir/Ma’am.
I am from India. I have got a very rare copy of Bible in a very good condition. Its Bible in Urdu but in Roman Script.
I want to sale it. Is there any possibility? pls let me know
Hello, first off, I’d like to thank you for hosting this site. I’m thankful that your passion has allowed myself and others access to various copies of manuscripts and such that would be difficult to find elsewhere. Also there’s something about certain images and text from these old books that speaks to me. I am most thankful for this site. I do however have a couple suggestions/thoughts. First, while I understand that bandwidth is not free, many would like to save an entire copy locally. Have you considered uploading and linking to a free file hosting service? The speeds are limited for free users, but it would allow you to provide download links, without using all your bandwidth. (Like the beautiful 1611 KJV does at 1,8Gb) Also, have you tried to see if there are volunteers who would be willing to work on an index to some of the texts? I would think there may be many willing to do such. Bottom line, I am very grateful for this site. Keep up the good works.
Hi,
Great idea but none of the major companies would be able to accommodate the sheer GBs of data for all the Bibles and books etc without a significant payment for storage. As an example Google Drive just gives 15GB, One Drive 5GB. The other ones have weird advertising, pop-ups and potential virus issues.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
I have tried to download the Webster English Dictionary 1828 PDF, but am prevented from doing so somehow. I have the latest Adobe Reader – I tried downloading an update and was informed I had the latest version. I do not use a smart phone or table, but a laptop. I would very much like to be able to download these two files (Vol 1 and Vol 2, unless there is one download available). Can you please help me?
Thank you
A google search should find you such. Please see the download page
Hello, I do not, and will not, use the Adobe PDF reader. I use the MUCH SUPERIOR Xodo PDF Reader/Editor. Please, remove the code that limits the abilities of users who don’t use Adobe, or at least allow the user to bypass this annoying limitation.
Hi,
This matter has been previously notified,
The problem is that Adobe is the primary pdf software and embedded webrowser support is available.
To add others is an issue that you could contact your PDF company and ask them to supply web plugins that provide such with a method to identify them so the message is blocked,
Do you have a 1585 edition of the large folio (pulpit-size) Bishops Bible published by Christopher Barker? In particular, I am searching for a high resolution digital jpg for the title page?
Thank you in advance for any help? Awesome work you are doing!

Hi,
We do not sell Bibles here. We provide online scan to view for free.

Here you have access to the scans of the pages of originals.
Feel free to print and make a Bible with such. Pay a bit to have those pages professionally leather bound – probably $50-100 to a binding company.
We do not charge for use or download nor do we suggest any commercial companies.

Hi,
We do not sell Bibles here. Please see comment above yours.
Hello, dear Editor,
First, I want to give you a great big thank you for giving us the opportunity to download the Wycliffe New Testament as originally written. I am learning how to actually read that Middle English, and have ‘translated’ the book of Hebrews for our own edification – that is my wife and I.
I am the ‘grunt’ so to speak: tackling the unknown words etc., and my wife is the English expert, putting the result in a more correct form. Of course we want to keep the Wycliffe style very apparent, and we are being very blessed throughout the whole process!
My question to you is, where can I get an Old Testament original-writing facsimile PDF like your New Testament? Are you able to do to a Wycliffe Old Testament like as you did the Wycliffe New Testament?
We already have the complete Wycliffe Bible, published in 2009, authorized by the Wesley Center On-Line, and even e-Sword has the Old and New Testament on-line, but we would love to have a PDF of the original text Old Testament, because we want to check these other translations for ourselves.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas and Jan Marshall
Hi,
It is not easy to get the Old Testament for such – however, if you use our search and see the different Volumes e.g. 1 etc you should find what we have be able to get till date.
I am looking for a 1937 scofield reference bible, I need to compare the text. 1909,1917, and 1945 Oxford text all read the same. however later printings 1996 and after read differently, where did they get the “classic text” from 1937? the only one I haven’t been able to compare.
Hi,
For copyright reasons we do not have those. You could try archive dot org
I am interested in the ancient Hebrew scripture. which I believe reveals the truth. The church (Scripture) has been turned back into a market. Shame has soiled the world, people have lost their way. Is this the end.

Hello: I’m looking for a Bible that doesn’t have a copy right on it’s pages, can you help me. Thank
You could downloaf the few Bibles on the download a Bible page.
Is it definitely the 1606 Geneva Bible displayed at your site for a 1606 issue? Just want to be sure that no other edition was used for the displayed 1606 edition before using it for research.
Also, what is the Geneva edition date of the one @ https://obibles5088.live-website.com/pdf-bible-downloads-kjv-erv-wtt-gnv-tis/ and is the book from which it is shown an original edition?
Thank you greatly for the information:)
The edition used in the Quad version is 1599. As per the Bible you can clearly see 1606 written on it. However, you can see the source images here: they are in the bible00lond_jp2.zip (View Contents) section pg 1349 also states 1606 and Robert Barker as the printer.

hello
I was wondering if there was a version of the companion bible that I could buy a c/d of to down load to my computer
that would be easier to look up chapters and verses than the one I received free on line.
It is a pain to have to go to pages and find the page I am looking for so I can see Dr. Bullingers notes on the scriptures.
I was hoping I could buy a version on a c/d if this bible.
Thanks
