Description
By: Robert Young (1822-1888)
Young’s Literal Translation is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1862. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Bible and Concise Critical Comments on the New Testament. Young produced a “Revised Version” of the translation in 1887. After he died on October 14, 1888, the publisher in 1898 released a new Revised Edition.
Young’s Literal Translation in the 1898 Edition also consistently renders the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (divine name) throughout the Old Covenant/Testament as “Jehovah”, instead of the traditional practice of representing the Tetragrammaton in English as “LORD” in small capitals, but editions prior to 1898 do say “LORD” in small capitals.
