''In brief'': The World English Bible is a Public Domain Modern English translation of the Bible, based on the [[American Standard Version]] that was first published in 1901, the Biblia Hebraica Stutgartensa Old Testament, and the Greek Majority Text New Testament. It is in draft form, and currently being edited for accuracy and readability. The New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs are close to how they will read when they are finished, but most of the Old Testament still contains some archaic grammar that will be revised.

The '''World English Bible''' ('''WEB''') is a public domain translation of the [[Bible]] that is currently in draft form. It is based on the 1901 [[American Standard Version]], the [[Greek Majority Text]], and the [[Hebrew Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia]].

The World English Bible follows the American Standard Version's unusual decision to transliterate the [[Tetragrammaton]], but updates "Jehovah" to be "Yahweh".
