The website for the Apostolic Bible Polyglot English Text adapted by Tyndale House (ABEn) is: https://www.apostolicbible.com I believe it is based on the Apostolic Bible Polyglot Greek Text (abpgr...
This use of 'clothe' feels kooky and unnatural to me. In 2022 Modern English, clothes usually refer to the body, not the neck. Can someone please make this natural and intuitive? Then again, Engl...

In Joshua 15:16-19, it is related a short episode of Caleb, Othniel and Achsah. In Judges 1:12-15, it is related the same story (almost copy paste). Why do you think this story was considered sign...
