Lexham English Bible

The Lexham English Bible (LEB) is an extremely literal, transparent translation developed by Logos Bible Software for use alongside original-language study tools. It prioritizes faithfulness to the grammatical structure of the original Hebrew and Greek, making it an indispensable study Bible for those using the Logos ecosystem.

History & Background

The NT was published in 2010 and the full Bible in 2012. Developed exclusively by Logos Bible Software scholars, the LEB was originally digital-first but print editions are now available. Its unique typographical features in the interlinear edition visually mark grammatical relationships. The LEB is designed as a companion to Logos's interlinear databases, morphology tools, and original-language resources.
