<P> The Old Testament translation is a paraphrase of the public domain 1917 Jewish Publication Society Version, although scholar Bruce Metzger notes that where Stern disagreed with the JPS version, he translated from the Masoretic Text himself . The New Testament section is Stern's original translation from the ancient Greek . </P> <P> Stern states that his purpose for producing the Complete Jewish Bible was "to restore God's Word to its original Jewish context and culture as well as be in easily read modern English ." This translation was also intended that it be fully functional for Messianic Jewish congregations . </P> <P> Stern follows the order and the names of the Old Testament books in the Hebrew Bible, rather than those of typical Christian Bibles . He uses Hebrew names for people and places, such as Eliyahu for "Elijah", and Sha'ul for "Saul ." The work also incorporates Hebrew and Yiddish expressions that Stern refers to as "Jewish English", such as matzah for "unleavened bread" and mikveh for "ritual immersion pool". </P> <P> The World Messianic Bible (formerly known as The World English Bible: Messianic Edition (WEB: ME) or The Hebrew Names Version (HNV) is a free public domain Messianic Bible which is available online in its entirety and can be read, printed, reproduced, quoted, taught from and used freely without restrictions . Such use is permitted as long as the text is not altered in any way, shape or form other than for grammatical reasons from American English to British English or vice versa . If this is violated, it can no longer be called the World Messianic Bible nor by its former names such as The World English Bible: Messianic Edition nor Hebrew Names Version . </P>
