A Child's First Bible

Product Information

Quotations from this Bible may be identified in written form with the abbreviation (ICB) in less formal documents, such as bulletins, newsletters, curriculum, media pieces, posters, transparencies, and where space is limited. Quotations of more than one thousand verses must be approved by Thomas Nelson, Inc., in writing in advance of use. The second concern was to make the language simple enough for children to read and understand it for themselves. In maintaining language simplicity, several guidelines were followed. Sentences have been kept short and uncomplicated. I also want to note that the reading level of this Bible would have been too much (at 6 years old) for two of my kids. For those two, we choose one of the ICB Bibles listed above. HCSB Kid’s Study Bible— For ages 6+ The International Children’s Bible is not a storybook or a paraphrased Bible. It is a translation of God’s Word from the original Hebrew and Greek languages. It is the first translation of the Holy Scriptures prepared specifically for children. Until now children have had to learn God’s truths either from Bible storybooks or adult language Bibles. Many words and concepts, readily understood by adults may leave children mystified or even with false impressions. She particularly enjoys the profiles of key people in the Bible and the maps, charts, and diagrams.

Understanding the Importance of Scripture for Kids At other times, our go-to choice is The Child’s Story Bible by Catherine Vos(ours is an updated version of the 1935 original). Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.The ICB is actually the Bible I recommend for kids going through our You Already Are devotional journal for kids. However, it’s not just about the text. Illustrations play a pivotal role in children’s bibles. Zondervan Publishing, for instance, has produced a range of storybooks and bibles adorned with visual learning elements like infographics, maps, and connect-the-dots activities. These visual aids help children connect biblical stories to their own lives, transforming these tales from distant history to relatable lessons.

We have quite a collection of Bible storybooks for little ones, but these are our favorites :: The Tiny Tots Bible– For ages: 0-3

Did Adam and Eve’s Sons Marry Their Sisters?

God rebuked Cain for his actions and told him that from this point, he would be “a homeless wanderer on the earth” ( Genesis 4:12). Cain replied that he could not bear the punishment of forever wandering and that “anyone who finds me will kill me!” God replied that he would punish anyone who killed Cain seven times over and put a mark on him so that anyone who tried to kill him would be warned off ( Genesis 4:15-16). After this point, Cain had a son named Enoch, founded a city, and had various descendants who developed skills like playing music, forging metal, and nomadic herding ( Genesis 4:17-24). Why Did Cain Kill Abel? For our family Bible time, we pull from all of the Bibles below for different seasons, stories, and purposes. However, overall, we mostly use a full-text translation of the Bible. Two basic premises guided the translation process. The first concern was that the translation be faithful to the manuscripts in the original languages. A team composed of the World Bible Translation Center and twenty-one additional, highly qualified and experienced Bible scholars and translators was assembled. The team included men with translation experience on such accepted versions as the New International Version, the New American Standard Bible and the New King James Version. The most recent scholarship and the best available Hebrew and Greek texts were used, principally the third edition of the United Bible Societies’ Greek text and the latest edition of the Biblia Hebraica, along with the Septuagint.
