Holy Bible

Basic English, produced by Mr C. K. Ogden of the Orthological Institute, is a simple form of the English language which, with only 850 words, is supposed to be able to give the sense of anything which may be said in English. Working with the Orthological Institute, a committee under the direction of Professor S. H. Hooke, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Studies in the University of London was responsible for a new English form of the Bible made from the original Hebrew and the Greek.
