Libre Bible Data

LibreBible is the public Bible and study-resource data project behind Libre Study, GracePress Bible Tooltip, and related tools. This technical repo is named libre-bible-data.

This repo does not treat third-party Bible texts as ours. Each resource starts with a source manifest that records upstream location, license status, source format, checksum, importer, generated package paths, and update-check metadata.

First Resource

The first resource is kjv-eng-kjv2006, sourced from eBible.org's eng-kjv2006 USFM package.

The eBible listing identifies it as public domain, describes it as the 1769 King James Version with Strong's numbers added, and notes the United Kingdom Crown/Cambridge printing restriction does not affect public-domain status outside the UK. See sources/kjv-eng-kjv2006.json.

Workflow

npm install
npm run check
npm run import:kjv
npm run catalog
npm run docs

Generated packages land under packages/json/<resource-id>/.

Repo Rules

• Every hosted text needs a source manifest.
• Every source manifest needs license metadata.
• If redistribution is not clearly allowed, do not commit generated text.
• Generated packages must include checksums and importer metadata.
• Update checks should be mechanical: fetch upstream, hash it, compare with the recorded checksum, and report drift.

See CONVENTIONS.md for durable project rules and ROADMAP.md for the implementation path.
