Suggestion: Legacy Standard Bible

Does the Acc. version come with both Old and New testaments?

Does the Acc. version come with both Old and New testaments?

It's just Psalms, Proverbs, and New Testament.

Agreed!

It's not the same as having it in Logos, but you can access both Testaments online pretty easily via https://read.lsbible.org/. I discovered that via a Shepherd's Conference update at the end of last month (Nov).

In addition, they're providing sporadic updates about progress on the project (mainly the print copies, some news about electronic versions) via a mailing list. You can sign up in the footer on their website: https://lsbible.org/.

My print Bible just arrived in the mail and I'm switching over to it as my main teaching/preaching text. I'm really looking forward to the Logos edition!

I am not a huge fan of Accordance but I may have to move back for LSB for a bit.  

I hope it comes out here soon.  

I really dislike having two Bible softwares running but am for LSB stuff. It is becoming our pulpit reading and preaching BIble. Please prioritize this very highly

Count me as an interested party as well. 

Here's an update from the publisher I received today:

We are done with the work on the cross references, footnotes and Strong’s numbers that are included in the master database for the LSB. A meta-data company will filter through the file and then minor updates will occur. After that work is completed we will have a file to begin typesetting reference editions and a file that can be used for programmers to begin their work on digital editions. We expect several of the Bible software apps and websites to begin making the LSB available by the end of the first quarter of 2022.

I hope to see this for sale in Logos soon.

For the time being I have this in my browser and I am going to see about making a link in L9

Surprised to see Lockman listed at the bottom of the page. I thought this was a Masters Seminary project.

The creation of the text was from the seminary. The funding/publishing can be a hash of partnerships as this appears to be based on the notice you posted.

It is a project by them but the text of NASB is licensed to them to update it and part of that licensing of the text must include Lockman to hold copyright over the LSB text.

Me too. @Logos, any word on when we might be able to get this? It is a real bummer that the only way I can get a digital text at this time is with Accordance. 

I would look for it to become available in late April or early May. 

😭

The LSB website posted something recently:

Will the LSB be available on mobile apps, Bible software platforms, and online?

Please bring the LSB to Logos asap! Thank you!

Any update on the release of the LSB?  Reading through it

LSB in Logos please!

As the OP, I 100% agree, but it is important to note that it just came out today as a full digital file using their app.  As of now, only Accordance has it because they took up the LSB first (which either Logos missed an amazing opportunity or were never asked). 

Now that it is available in the wild, per se, hopefully it will trickle out to other online bible retailers.

You can read it online at https://read.lsbible.org/ 

OR download the Accordance app and read it on your phone. I don't use Accordance but I have to have it to read in their app. You don't need an account to use it (NOR am I promoting it).

Per their FAQ

It's troubling that we don't even see the LSB in pre-pub yet for Logos even though a certain competitor just completed the whole LSB with Strong's numbers within the past week or so. It automatically updated for me in said competitor's software from NT-only to now include the whole bible.

Can Logos please at least get the text out? We know that Logos' tagging takes longer since Logos does a lot more tagging. I don't want to keep having to open a certain competitor's software when I want to read/compare the LSB.

Relax, that's not the final digital file that will be made available to Bible software companies, including Accordance. That's a stand-alone app and is not the same as the final product that will be available to Logos and Accordance at the same time.

The version I'm referring to is not in the stand-alone app but actually available in the competitor's bible software. I just used it yesterday on my laptop. I don't have the stand-alone app. They initially made the NT w/ Strong's numbers available for (free) download from their store. They recently updated their version to include the whole bible with Strong's numbers. I just looked at their store, they still have the LSB available for free to be downloaded into their software, only now they include both old and new testaments.

Hello Kiyah, May I please ask where I can go and download that software to use on my laptop?

Although the bible is free, the competitor's (MacOS/Windows) software is not. I'm trying not to violate Forum guidelines by promoting a competitor's non-free product. You'd have to buy their bible software and then "purchase" their free version of the LSB in order to be able to use it on your laptop.

Yes, I understand. I would not be looking to purchase additional software. Just trying get the LSB (eventually with macarthur study bible commentary).  Thank you! 

You can read it online for free.  Also I believe there is a free lite version to download

I frankly don't see what advantage there is to the LSB over the NASB95. I like the NASB for its literalness, but the deal-clincher is that it has marginal notes that amp up the literalness even more. For instance, while the NASB and the LSB both have "lights" in Gen. 1:14, the NASB has "luminaries" in the margin, which i much prefer simply because it is more accurate. Why should I switch to a version that is simply less of what I like about the original?

The LSB I have downloaded on my phone has a footnote on gen 1:14 that reads, “Or luminaries, light-bearers”

If you run a visual filter on the NASB95 that turns doulos into slave and YHWH into Yahweh, you have the LSB without spending any additional money.

You should watch the videos discussing the translation philosophy of the LSB on their website.  One translation priority is to make the original language apparent in the translation by using the same word to translate it if doing so can preseve the meaning. This is why light not luminaries. If you don’t like this approach, fine. But don’t falsely claim it is a bad translation choice while ignoring the reasons for it. This is disingenuous

Hello - so what is the final word.  Not here to debate LSB vs NASB but will it be offered on Logos any time soon?  Thanks!

Yeah...no. The Hebrew word for "light" is 'ohr, as found twice in Gen. 1:3. The word translated "light" in Gen. 1:14-16 is maa'ohr, and thus, not the same word. Related, but not the same. "A light" produces "light", so the sun is a light. The moon is not, although it does reflect light, providing illumination. The sun and stars are lights; the moon is not--but all produce illumination, whether directly or by reflection, and so "luminaries" is the better and more accurate choice. Nothing disingenuous at all.
