Literal Translation
General Information
The actual source materials which were used to traslate the modern Bibles were written in ancient Hebrew (Aramaic) (Old Testament) and ancient Greek (New Testament). The actual (literal) translation of those words in their original sequence is often somewhat difficult to read. That is why all of the modern Bibles slightly adjust or rearrange the text to make it more readable.
Part of Genesis follows as it is literally translated
