eBible.org certified Bibles

Some Bibles posted on the Internet are marked as eBible.org certified. This means that:

• The Bible meets the quality standards set by the originating agency for publication.
• The Bible might be incomplete, as with a translation in progress or an historical fragment, but there should be no unintentional omissions.
• Copyright and use permission status is accurate to our best understanding and included with the Bible.
• A series of publication quality tests have been run on the text and it has passed.
• The Bible is digitally signed as a sort of tamper-evident seal.
• You may send us feedback if you find that a particular Bible has quality problems. Please specify the web site, language, translation, book, chapter, and verse, as well as a description of the problem, and why it is a problem.

Tamper-evident seals

Freely redistributable Bibles such as those posted at https://ebible.org/Scriptures/ (for web site operators and Bible study app authors) are hashed with sha256sum to a file called signature.txt, then that file is digitally signed using Gnu Privacy Guard using this public key. The resulting file, signature.txt.asc, is packaged with the Bible.

To verify a digital signature on files on your local computer using the command line:

1. Import and sign this public key (key ID 93505F26 for editors@eBible.org) using Gnu Privacy Guard (if you haven't done so already).
2. Check the signature on the signature.txt.asc with the command: gpg signature.txt.asc
3. If you haven't got the sha256sum program already, get a copy as part of the Cygwin distribution for Windows. It is included in most Linux distributions.
4. Run the command line program: sha256sum -c signature.txt
