Language: English. Collection scope: ot pseudepigrapha.
Translation: G. H. (George Herbert) Box
Original English translations by G. H. (George Herbert) Box (1869–1933), The Testament of Abraham, SPCK, 1927. The identified historical English literary text is public domain in the United States and under ordinary UK life-plus-70 treatment. This does not clear modern translations or claim identical terms in every jurisdiction. Modern host assets and the scholarly apparatus are excluded.
The rights statement answers a reuse question; it does not remove the need to compare translation choices, textual traditions, book order, and verse numbering. Spirit Nation keeps this edition identified on every chapter.
Edition coverage
Both primary English translations from G. H. Box’s 1927 edition are included as separately labeled Greek-recension components: the longer recension (20 source chapters, printed pages 1–38) and the shorter recension (14 source chapters, pages 39–54). All 54 translation pages were visually checked. Reader addresses follow printed pages, which can divide sentences and words; source chapter figures remain inline. Small-font scholarly footnotes and their reference marks, the introduction, indexes and Coptic appendix are excluded from this English reading presentation. Box’s brackets, supplied words, narrative dislocations and the longer recension’s bracketed closing doxology remain. The separate Gaselee Isaac/Jacob appendix translations have their own catalogue entries. This is not a diplomatic Greek transcription, a complete apparatus, or a reconstruction of lost wording.
