This page has links to archives of the sacred-texts Bible data files, compressed in the 'zip' format, and other technical resources for developers. These are the best possible data files which we have been able to obtain, and to the best of our knowledge are free of copyright restrictions or stipulations on their reuse. These are the same files which are used to build the sacred-texts Bible hypertext. These files will be useful for advanced developers who wish to create their own Bible websites or software, and require programming experience. They are not as useful if all you want to do is read the Bible, as they require some programming to turn into a readable version.
The files contain one verse per line. Line breaks in a verse are indicated in some files using tildes. Each line is prefixed by the book, verse and chapter, separated by vertical bars. The book abbreviations are listed in the table below.
The Greek and Hebrew files (Septuagint, Tanach and Greek NT) are in UTF-8 format for compactness. There are code samples below which demonstrate how to convert a sequence of Unicode characters into UTF-8 and UTF-8 into HTML entities.
There are no restrictions on the use of these data files. They can be used for commercial or non-commercial projects and altered freely. We welcome reports of errors or omissions from these files.

These are some code samples which show how to convert to and from UTF-8. We have used them during the development process at this site. They will be helpful to experienced software developers with a knowledge of C. While we believe that they are correct, we do not warranty their fitness for any particular use. By copying this code you affirm that you use it at your own risk. We cannot provide any programming advice as to how to use this code, so do not write us with questions about these routines.
/// these routines assume the following typedefs:
typedef char*string;
typedef unsigned short int WORD;
typedef unsigned char BYTE;
// this is a C routine to convert a 16 bit unsigned integer into its
// UTF-8 equivalent.
