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

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.
