Deep Dive Bible’s free data to download and reuse: the Bible texts, commentaries, and reference works that are in the public domain or freely licensed, and the cross-references, links, and other data made for the site. Each file is a zip holding the data as JSON and as CSV, with a README giving its license and credit.
The site’s software, Chatiferous, is free software too: its code is on GitLab.
Data that starts here
This is the original source of these data sets, made for Deep Dive Bible by AI agents (Claude, by Anthropic) at Larry Sanger’s direction:
- The Curated Best-Of
The best one to three comments on each verse from about thirty public-domain commentaries, chosen, summarized, and credited. - Name and theme links
The names linked in each translation, with their other spellings, and the theme links. - Map pins
Where each place sits on each of the site’s maps. - Ussher’s dates
The date of each passage on Archbishop Ussher’s chronology. - The Septuagint and Targums, renumbered
The Greek Septuagint, Brenton’s English Septuagint, and the Targums put into the KJV’s verse numbering. - Reference-work verse links
Which articles in the reference works speak of which verses. - Two corrected reference texts
A Concise Cyclopedia of Religious Knowledge (Sanford) and Charles’s Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, corrected. - UBS parallel passages
The United Bible Societies’ parallel passages in English verse numbering. - Thompson’s chain references
Thompson’s chain references (1934) as links from verse to verse.
Licenses
Each file’s license is named beside it; where a file holds parts under different licenses, each part’s is named.
Not here: translations still under copyright (the NIV, NASB95, and ESV), and the groups’ own discussions and notes.
The Bible texts
Each verse with its book, chapter, and verse number. Book codes are the three-letter ones of USFM (GEN, EXO, … REV).

The data API
For an app that needs a little at a time, the same data can be read as JSON one passage or verse at a time at
/api/data.php. For now it answers only members who are signed in. What it gives:
?get=list: the translations, commentaries, cross-reference lists, and lexicons, with their licenses.?get=passage&version=WEB&book=JHN&chapter=3&from=16&to=21: up to one chapter, at most 100 verses.?get=commentary&work=mhc&book=JHN&chapter=3&verse=16: what a commentary says on a verse.?get=xrefs&list=tsk&book=JHN&chapter=3&verse=16: a verse’s cross-references (listsob,tsk,ubs, andtcr).?get=lexicon&strongs=G26: a Strong’s number’s lexicon entries.
The rules: add &app= and your app’s name to every request (no email address is needed); credit
Deep Dive Bible and each work’s source, as each answer gives them; for more than a little, use the downloads. At most
30 requests a minute, 1,000 a day, and one at a time from an
address; past that, the answer is “429 Too Many Requests” with the seconds to wait, and an address that keeps going is
blocked for 24 hours. Addresses are kept only scrambled, to count requests, and deleted after
two days. The limits may change, and the API may be withdrawn, especially before we make any necessary adjustments to our hosting.
Recordings
The King James Version read aloud by an AI voice (Google’s Gemini), each chapter an MP3 file: the whole Bible in one file (zip, 4.7 GB), or a chapter at a time below. The recordings are dedicated to the public domain (CC0 1.0): use them for anything, no credit needed. The KJV’s text is in the public domain too.
