DASV Bible, Ted Hildebrandt, 2011

It was developed based on the American Standard Version (ASV) of 1901.

I have sought to use the digital medium--text, audio, visual--to communicate God's Word freely in a digital and globally networked environment making my explorations available to anyone for the glory of God and the good of those seeking own spiritual development or helping others. Please feel free to use the DASV in new projects harnessing the digital medium in new creative expressions of the Word of God. The copyright notification must be displayed [ DASV Bible, Ted Hildebrandt, 2011] and the wording left unchanged.

This project owes its origins to my students Maggie Austen and Katie Moss. Thanks for helping me to see the potential of this medium.It is dedicated to my grandfather Alex Affleck who passed the legacy on to my late father Ted Hildebrandt who instilled in me a love for God's word and the discipline and tenacity to complete such projects. My mother Elaine Hildebrandt who has proof read all of this and encouraged me over a lifetime of service. Thanks to God for my wife, Annette and my children, Rebekah and grandson Ben, Natanya, Zach, Elliott all gifts and true to their names.

Digital American Standard Version DASV: Genesis 1

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 And the earth was formless and empty; and darkness covered the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the waters.

3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

4 And God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it separate the waters above from the waters below."

7 And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. And it was so.

8 And God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

9 And God said, "Let the waters under the expanse be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.

10 And God called the dry land "earth," and the waters that were gathered together he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, "Let the earth produce vegetation, seed bearing plants and fruit-trees with seed-bearing fruit each according to its kind on the earth." And it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth vegetation--plants bearing seed each after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seeds, each after their kind. And God saw that it was good.

13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be markers for the seasons, and for days and years;

15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on earth." And it was so.

16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night--he also made the stars.

17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,

18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

20 And God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let the birds fly above the earth across the open expanse of the heavens."

21 And God created the great sea-creatures, and every living creature that moves and swarms in the waters, each after its kind, and every winged bird after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

24 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures each according to its kind: cattle, creeping things and beasts of the earth each according to its kind. And it was so.

25 And God made the beasts of the earth each according to their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind." And God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

27 So God created humans in his own image, in the image of God he created him. He created them male and female.

28 And God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

29 And God said, "Look, I have given you every seed bearing plant which is upon the surface of all the earth, and every tree which yields fruit with seed. They will be your food.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, that has life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.

31 And God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

2 Genesis 1

DASV: Genesis 2

1 So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their hosts.

2 And on the seventh day God finished the work he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy; because on it he rested from all the work that he had done in creation.

4 This is the account of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

5 when no bush of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;

6 but a mist came up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.

7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

8 Now the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, that is in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were in the middle of the garden.

10 And a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four branches.

11 The name of the first is Pishon. It flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

12 And the gold of that land is good; the fragrant bdellium resin and onyx stone are also there.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon. It flows around the whole land of Cush.

14 And the name of the third river is Tigris. It goes along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You are free to eat of any tree of the garden

17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you may not eat, for in the day that you eat it you will surely die."

18 Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him."

19 So out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the sky; and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

20 And the man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was no suitable helper found.

21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept he took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh.

22 And from the rib, that the LORD God had taken from the man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man.

23 Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'Woman,' because she was taken out of 'Man.'"

24 That is why a man leaves his father and his mother, and is jo
