Rights, provenance, and integrity
The Bible VPL archives came from eBible.org. The non-canonical editions come from explicitly public-domain modern translations or older translations by Roberts–Donaldson, J. B. Lightfoot, R. H. Charles, M. R. James, W. R. Morfill, J. Rendel Harris, and related public-domain editions.
Every imported source file is archived with the importer and recorded with a SHA-256 hash. The interactive version of this page reports the exact source file, import date, license notice, verse coverage, and semantic-index coverage for each edition.
