PURPOSE:
To provide a modern version that retains accuracy.
To update archaic words and grammar.
To use new materials, such as manuscripts, to improve accuracy.
FEATURES:
Plurals Indicated:
Plus signs are used next to words such as you+ and your+ when they refer to a group of two or more. This is done to improve accuracy.
The Name of God:
The name "Yahweh" (a personal name for God) and "Yah" (a contracted form of Yahweh) are used instead of what is rendered in many versions as "LORD".
Bracketed Text:
Brackets [ ] are generally used to enclose words supplied in the translation that are not present in the original Bible text in order to make a passage more understandable.
Books of the Bible:
First Maccabees is included and reconstructed (click here for more information).
The Wisdom of Sirach is included (click here for more information).
The Book of Acts is no longer included (click here for more information).
The order of the books places the New Testament before the Old Testament; and the book of John before Matthew (click here for more information).
The Book of John ends at 19:35 (see page 607 in the Appendix).
The Book of Luke chapters one and two are not included (see page 607 in the Appendix).
The Book of Matthew and the ending of Luke were reconstructed (see pages 602 and 608 in the Appendix).
Gender:
Gender has generally been translated literally. Words such as man, woman, son, daughter, he, she, him, and her are generally left in the same gender as they were in the original texts. There is no overall effort to remove such distinctions or to make this a gender inclusive translation.

A work of very questionable choices. The NT is presented first, because the author deems it 'most important.' Acts is omitted entirely, justification for which seems to be several articles that tend to support the beliefs of the author. Matthew is 'reconstructed' which is to say the verse order is altered, and material from Mark & Luke are then imported into Matthew, per the author's own words.
John 1.1 render logos as 'Speech.' As in 'The Speech.' However the same Greek is rendered as 'word' in Rev 19.13: "And in the word of God his name is also called..."
This is said to be an update of the American Standard Version. To paraphrase Gerald Hammond, this is not an update of the ASV - it's a murder.
Website updated. Links in description updated accordingly. New changes integrated immediately upon submit to website edition via GitHub based CI/CD pipeline.

Hi Larry,
I don’t really have any information that might help about the first paragraph. It’s not something that I’ve spent any significant time on.
