Dutch Bible

This is the Statenvertaling (State Translation) Dutch Bible. This was the first official Bible translation into Dutch, based on the OT Masoretic Text and the NT Textus Receptus. Published in 1635, the Statenvertaling had a great influence in the standardization of the Dutch language in the 17th century, as well as the cultural unification of the Netherlands. This version is still in use today after four centuries. This text is in the public domain in the US because it was published prior to 1923.
