Old Testament — Greek Septuagint with Brenton English
Click a book name to open the text reader, or tap Guide → for the full study guide (themes, key chapters, FAQs). This translation does not have Old Testament audio in this reader, so these chapters open as text-only study pages.

Is the World English Bible free?
Completely — the WEB text is public domain and The Historic Faith recorded its own narration, so every chapter streams free with full text, no signup, no restrictions.
What is the World English Bible based on?
The WEB updates the American Standard Version (1901) into modern English; the ebible.org volunteer project completed it against the Biblia Hebraica and the Majority Text.
Why is the WEB paired with the Septuagint here?
The Historic Faith pairs its WEB New Testament narration with the Greek Septuagint (Brenton translation) Old Testament — the Old Testament the early church read and the New Testament writers most often quoted — narrated by the same voice.
