Read in one language. Confirm in another.
The Interlinked Bible Series is a new line of bilingual eBibles designed to help readers move naturally between English and Japanese while reading Scripture.
A bilingual Bible that keeps the reading experience simple.
These editions are designed for readers who want the support of a second language without constantly leaving the page.
The main text is presented for ordinary reading, while the companion language is available for checking, comparing, and learning. The goal is not to replace serious study tools, printed Bibles, or full commentary. The goal is to make bilingual reading smoother, quieter, and more natural.
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
