The original version had no vowels or spaces between words, no punctuation or sentences, no lower case letters or paragraphs, and no chapters or verses. The text was simply a string of consonants in upper case. The above paragraph is an example of this in English. Here is the same passage as we know it today, after centuries of editing designed to make the Holy Bible as understandable as possible: 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. - Gen 1: 1-3 (KJV) Editing has greatly increased readability, but at a cost. The above passages represent two extremes, the unedited and the highly edited. The former is illegible to all but a handful of scripture scholars yet the latter can seem too pat and organized, and to conceal as well as reveal. Many Bible readers would like the option to encounter God's word personally, not only through the eyes of others, no matter how well intentioned.
