The Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible•YLT

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) of the Bible, completed in 1862 by Robert Young, is known for its strict adherence to the literal interpretation of the original Hebrew and Greek texts.

This translation is characterized by its direct, sometimes unconventional English syntax, reflecting the exact structure of the source languages. It's highly regarded for study and reference purposes, especially among scholars and readers interested in a literal understanding of the Bible.
