Restored Name King James Version (RNKJV)
Built on the familiar wording of the King James Version (KJV), the Restored Name King James Version restores the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (יהוה) and the title 'Elohim' in place of the English substitutions 'LORD' and 'God' used in most Christian translations. Start at Genesis (RNKJV) to see the divine name restored throughout.
The Old Testament (often abbreviated OT) is the first division of the Christian biblical canon, which is based primarily upon the 24 books of the Hebrew Bible (or Tanakh), a collection of ancient religious Hebrew writings by the Israelites believed by most Christians and religious Jews to be the sacred Word of God.
The New Testament (NT) is the second division of the Christian biblical canon. It discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity.
