A Few Things to Keep in Mind

There are a few minor issues with the Tyndale Bible text on the “Tyndale Bible” website which look like typos but are not. Some of these things are printer abbreviations from the 1500’s which are not understood by modern day readers.

For example, the letter “e” with a line over the top, means to add the letter “m” or “n” after the letter “e.” Therefore, you might see the word “the” in the text, but it represents the word “then” or “them” in the Bible text.

Another example is the letter “a” with a line over the top, means to add the letter “m” or “n” after the letter “a.” Therefore, you might see the word “ad” in the text, but it represents the word “and” in the Bible text.

“y” with a superscript of “little t” is a printer’s abbreviation for “that.”

“y” with a superscript of “little e” is a printer abbreviation for “the.”

These are just a few examples of what you might encounter, so if you read something that doesn’t make sense, please keep this in mind. “Ye” is also the word for “you.” The context will often tell you whether “ye” is “the” or “ye” (you). “Yt” can also be the 1500’s spelling for “it,” and the context should tell you when “yt” means “it” or “that.”

You can read Genesis through Deuteronomy, Jonah and all of the New Testament, as translated by William Tyndale at the “Read the Tyndale Bible online” link below. The New Testament text seems to be the 1534 text instead of the 1526 text.

I find reading the Tyndale Bible translations fascinating, myself. In some cases, I believe Tyndale is even more understandable than the King James Bible.
