For the Old Testament, the LSB utilizes the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia of R. Kittel, A. Alt., O. Eissfeldt, and P. Kahle, together with the most recent light from lexicography, cognate languages, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. For the New Testament, the 27th edition of Eberhard Nestle’s Novum Testamentum Graece, supplemented by the 28th edition in the General Epistles, serves as the base text. On every variant reading the Society of Biblical Literature GNT as well as the Tyndale House GNT were also consulted.
