I fully sympathize and understand this issue – if you look at the Download a Bible link at the top, you will see that one or more malicious humans or bots took the entire website down for close to a week. With great effort I proved it was malicious and have restored the site. But, excessive downloads,usage etc. are not ideal

I have restored the JPS link as it does mean a lot to me too! But please be advised that the link may be withdrawn if excessive usage does show! Download once and share to all from your side!

Best wishes.

In reply to Joshua Ochieng.

Hi,

There are many English translations of the Hebrew Bible. Most modern versions do use such…. Your desire is good but has many steps, Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek/Latin and a lot more…. I suggest you have a look at the history of the English translation(s).
