About This Translation

The SDLT follows seven core principles: literal over interpretive rendering, consistency of Hebrew-to-English equivalents throughout, preservation of genuine ambiguity, tracking of wordplay and verbal threads, untranslated divine names (YHWH, Yah, El, Elyon, Shaddai), preserved technical terms (Sheol, Rephaim, massa'), and indentation reflecting Hebrew poetic parallelism.

Every Hebrew word has been examined against its semantic range across the Hebrew Bible, with 2,350 Critical Examinations documenting translation decisions.
