Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible: With Prefaces to 1st, Revised, & 3rd Editions Review: Fantastic 19th Century Scholarship - A very good example of 19th century biblical linguistic scholarship. It is an impressive translation and somewhat ahead of it's time, at the time. Young also made a great concordance in English with Hebrew and Greek. It does not have the advantage of the past 150 years of archaeology (think Dead Sea Scrolls) and linguistics. It may be dated in some assertions now, but is still quite good. The book was typeset and printed by printing press in the late 1800s, so yes, the text is a bit fuzzier than modern printing but is as legible as any other old library book. It's my favorite older literal translation and I recommend. Review: Great. for study - This is a great bible for study. The translation is perfectly literal as far as I have checked. I do not recommend this bible for people who are not into serious bible study. Also, I would not recommend this as a main bible. I would suggest that all people who want to buy this translation have another translation as their main translation, consulting the YLT only when you want to understand the original Greek or Hebrew better but you do not speak the language. This translation does not interpret or have any doctrinal biases. This means that, for example, the Hebrew word "ha'adam", which refers to mankind or humanity many times, is always translated as "the man", which can be misinterpreted at face value. Another example is Romans 2:11, where the Greek word for partiality is literally translated as "acceptance of faces." Unlike a KJV or ESV or something else, which you can read and understand without much knowledge of ancient Jewish culture or biblical language due to the nature of the translation, in order to read this you must be familiar with the ancient Jewish philosophies and Hebrew and Greek linguistic features. Keep in mind, the book is very thick and heavy. This is not a bible to transport, but one to keep on a shelf or desk in a study until needed. Who should buy this: *Pastors, preachers, and serious bible students who do not speak Koine Greek or Biblical Hebrew. *People who speak Greek and Hebrew, but who want a translation to quote to non-Greek and Hebrew students which is as accurate to the original languages as possible. Who should not buy this (or would gain little from it): *People not familiar with English (the grammar is strange and can be hard to read if you do not speak English fluently). *New Christians and people not already familiar with the basics of the bible. *People who fluently speak Greek and Hebrew and who can easily translate those languages into English for other people. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #522,005 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,369 in Christian Bibles (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (390) | | Dimensions | 7.44 x 1.57 x 9.69 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1684221803 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1684221806 | | Item Weight | 3.04 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 788 pages | | Publication date | December 15, 2017 | | Publisher | Martino Fine Books | ## Images ![Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible: With Prefaces to 1st, Revised, & 3rd Editions - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uInRkkNvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic 19th Century Scholarship *by D***R on January 7, 2026* A very good example of 19th century biblical linguistic scholarship.

I think that strangely it helps you "think" in a way closer to the original writers. So at first glance, it's way harder. But ultimately, I found it much easier once I could "get into the minds of the authors", so to speak. ## Frequently Bought Together - Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible: With Prefaces to 1st, Revised, & 3rd Editions - Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible (MCD) - Young's Literal Translation (YLT) Bible: Complete Old and New Testament --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/92944230-youngs-literal-translation-of-the-holy-bible-with-prefaces-to](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/92944230-youngs-literal-translation-of-the-holy-bible-with-prefaces-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
