A Bible you don't just read —
a Bible that explains itself, verse by verse.
For the first time, the complete Old Testament is presented with a clear, faithful explanation after each individual verse — the fruit of forty-six years of devoted study by Dr. Aldery Nelson Rocha. This is not a Bible with occasional notes. It is the whole Old Testament, explained verse by verse, from Genesis 1:1 onward.
Inside this edition
•A fresh, literal translation — the Di Nelson Version — that stays close to the original text.
•Every verse followed by its own commentary, written in plain, pastoral language.
•Original Hebrew terms preserved and revealed (Elohim, Meshiah, kairos, and many more), so the depth of the text is never lost in translation.
•Abundant cross-references that let Scripture interpret Scripture.
•Insight into prophecy, typology, the dispensations, and the redemptive plan that runs through the whole of God's Word.
See how it reads
"In the ('in one') beginning, God ('Elohim') created ('out of the nonexistent') the heavens and the earth." — Genesis 1:1
The explanation that follows opens the creation account, the work of the Holy Spirit upon the waters, and the great ages of eternity before time began. Every chapter receives the same careful attention.
Who is it for?
Pastors and teachers preparing to feed the flock. Seminary and Bible-school students. Lifelong readers who long to understand, not merely to read. Anyone who has ever closed the Bible wishing someone would explain what they had just read.
A lifetime in the making
Translated and explained over forty-six years and now offered in three languages — English, Portuguese, and Spanish — the Di Nelson Version exists for one purpose: to place the living Word of JeHoVaH in your hands, fully opened, in the language of your heart.
