<p>2017 Reprint of 1898 Revised Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software.&nbsp; <em>Young&#39;s Literal Translation</em> is a translation of the Bible into English, first published in 1862. Young used the Textus Receptus (TR) and the Majority Text (MT) as the basis for his translation.&nbsp; The Literal Translation is unusual in that, as the name implies, it is a very literal translation of the original Hebrew and Greek texts.&nbsp; For example, Young used the present tense in many places in which other translations use the past tense, particularly in narratives.&nbsp; Young&#39;s translation is closer to the Hebrew than the better-known versions of this passage in English.&nbsp; Young strives for strictness in translating words and tenses.&nbsp; Therefore he provides a valuable standard by which, with study, one can judge and compare the accuracy of modern versions in rendering the Bible into readable English.&nbsp; He will help in discerning where translation stops, and interpretation begins.</p>
