While there are many Bible translations available, few are in the public domain in modern English, and even fewer in the public domain are based on the latest textual criticism using all available manuscripts. The goal of the New Heart English Bible (NHEB) project is to meet these requirements. Since the original autographs of the biblical books are no longer extant, and in the human enterprise of hand copying mistakes are likely, textual criticism with review of all the manuscripts and relevant editions is necessary in order to recover the authentic text.

The NHEB and versions are available here as Text and PDF files, and are also available through the MySword app (Android), BibleHub, and some BibleBento versions (iOS). A text critical Hebrew OT is available below in PDF and RTF files. The New Heart English Bible (NHEB) and versions NHEB-JE, NHEB-JM, NHEB-ME, NHEB-AN, and NHEB-YHWH are not copyrighted and are dedicated to the Public Domain by the editors and translators.

No one may copyright the NHEB, its versions, or any other file edited by Wayne A. Mitchell. No one may trademark the above noted files. Without changing the text, you may publish, copy, translate, quote, and use the NHEB and versions, and any other file edited by Wayne A. Mitchell freely without additional permission.

NHEB in print? The NHEB New Testament is available from TheBiblePeople. A complete print version of the NHEB for home or public reading is not currently available.
