ABOUT THE TEXT

The reading text is based on the Modern Brenton English Septuagint dataset. Its modernization updates many older English pronouns and verb forms while retaining the content and structure of Brenton's translation; occasional older forms, vocabulary and sentence patterns remain. It is a reading and study edition, not a new critical translation. The app also provides 2,575 public-domain historical Brenton notes at 2,307 exactly matched verses. These reference notes can include literal renderings, alternative readings, Greek wording and manuscript observations; they remain separate from the Modern Brenton reading text. Edition, source and licence information is available inside the app.

PRIVACY

Reading position, display preferences, notes, bookmarks and highlights remain in local app storage. The app has no account system, advertising, analytics, tracking or automatic cloud synchronization. External source links, support email, exports and system sharing are opened only when the reader chooses them.
