Frankly, my Hebrew is not good enough to tell whether "shiny one" is at all valid as a reading in this passage. The Hebrew "ha nachash" can apparently mean something like "shiny one," but it's almost always translated "serpent" or "snake" in most Bible versions. "Shining One?" You won't find that in too many Bible versions, although there are some who favor the reading. Now the Shining One was more clever than any animal of the field that the LORD God had made. They've got a few blurbs on their website from "scholars." ("Scholars" is in quotes, because one of them is Chuck Missler, a prophecy speaker who is pals with Hal Lindsey, and has been accused of plagiarism a few times.)Īs far as the translation itself goes, it is mostly a pretty typical modern translation, pretty balanced between formal and dynamic equivalence, what the ISV translators themselves refer to it as "literal-idiomatic." (You can read about their methodology in this PDF, which reproduces their Preface.) One extremely interesting rendering that I found unique to the ISV, as far as I can tell, is found in Genesis 3:1. Looking at the ISV's official website, it looks like they haven't published a print edition of the complete Bible yet. I have an electric copy in a couple Bible study programs that I use: e-Sword and TheWord. The only print copy of the ISV I have in my collection is an "Old Testament Sampler" that I picked up at a used bookstore, published in 2006.
One recent Bible translation I've never really talked about too much on this blog is the International Standard Version (ISV).

I believe the above programs are some of the better free applications out there, and I will be updating my Links page to include more information about them, as well as some screenshots. I've been using it for a few years now, and they keep improving it. BA doesn't have nearly as many free modules as some of the others, but its basic free package has all kinds of interesting features, and the website has lots of excellent tutorials to help the user learn about the application. It's also connected with The Sword Project, which coordinates with a variety of different free study applications, which you may find here.Īnother one of my favorites, which will especially appeal to those who prefer the King James Version in general, is Bible Analyzer.

You merely download the modules, and drag and drop them on the application, and bingo! you're done. Even though I prefer TheWord for the flexibility of its layouts, I discovered yesterday (playing around with a few programs that I hadn't used in awhile) that BPBible's modules are exceptionally easy to install.

Performing searches is easy, and there are numerous free modules available, including Greek New Testaments, and a few older commentaries.įor those who would like Bible study software they can carry with them on a USB flash drive, I have two recommendations: TheWord and BPBible. WordSearch is not quite as easy to use, as far as I'm concerned, but it is a bit more colorful, and is pretty comparable with e-Sword, as far as the things it can do. They have loads of free modules, but also have several premium modules at a reasonable price, if you prefer Bible versions that are not public domain, such as the NIV, NLT, or NRSV, to name a few. I've been using e-Sword for the longest time, and would recommend it to anyone who was looking for Bible study software, but doesn't want to pay a lot of money. I know a lot of "hard core" Bible software users, the ones who prefer Accordance, Logos, and BibleWorks, will turn their noses up at the free software, but I believe, for the average Bible student, the free programs have plenty of resources. On my Links page, I have included a few of the free Bible study applications that I use the most: e-Sword, WordSearch, and TheWord.
