Genesis 1:1–3
1 In beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth became formless and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep, and the Ruaḥ of Elohim fluttered over the face of the waters. 3 Then Elohim said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
John 3:16
16 Thus, Elohim so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Literal English Version of Scripture (LEV) is a translation of the Bible based on the World English Bible.[1] Formerly known as the "Shem Qadosh Version", the title was officially changed in November 2016. It is considered a Sacred Name Bible rendering the name of God using the Hebrew characters יהוה (commonly pronounced Yahweh), and that of Jesus in Hebrew as ישוע (commonly Yeshua). It was created by a team of volunteers across the United States with additional proofing and editing assistance by individuals in Poland and Taiwan. Footnotes and appendices were written by the General Editor, J. A. Brown.[2][3]
