1. His Augustness Oho-yamato-ne-ko-hiko-futo-ni dwelt at the Palace of Ihodo at Kuruda, and ruled the Empire. This Heavenly Sovereign wedded Her Augustness Princess Kuhashi, daughter of Ohome, ancestor of the Departmental Lords of Tohochi, and begot an august child: His Augustness Oho-yamato-ne-ko-hiko-kuni-kuru one Deity. Again he wedded Princess Chiji-haya-ma-waka of Kasuga, and begot an august child: Her Augustness Princess Chiji-haya one Deity. Again wedding Her Augustness Princess Oho-yamato-kuni-are, he begot august children: Her Augustness Yamato-to-mo-so-bime, next His Augustness Hiko-sashi-kata-wake; next His Augustness Hiko-isa-seri-biko, another name for whom is His Augustness Oho-biki-tsu-hiko: next Yamato-to-bi-haya-waka-ya-hime four Deities. Again he wedded Haheirodo, younger sister of Her Augustness Princess Are, and begot august children, His Augustness Hiko-same-ma, next His Augustness Waka-hiko-take-kibi-tsu-hiko two Deities. The august children of this Heavenly Sovereign numbered in all eleven Deities five kings and three queens. So His Augustness Oho-yamato-ne-ko-hiko-kuni-kuru was he who afterwards ruled the Empire. The two Deities His Augustness Oho-kibi-tsu-hiko and His Augustness Waka-take-kibi-tsu-hiko together set sacred jars at the front of the River Hi in Hari-ma; and, making Harima the mouth of the road, subdued and pacified the Land of Kibi. So His Augustness Oho-kibi-tsu-hiko was the ancestor of the Grandees of Kamu-tsu-michi in Kibi The next, His Augustness Waka-hiko-take-kiki-tsu-hiko was the ancestor of the Grandees of Shimo-tsu-michi in Kibi and of the Grandees of Kasa. The next His Augustness Hiko-same-ma was the ancestor of the Grandees of Uzhika in Harima. The next, His Augustness Hiko-sashi-kata-wake was the ancestor of the Grandees of Tonami in Koshi, of the Grandees of Kunisaki in the Land of Toyo, of the Dukes of Ihobara, and of the Maritime Suzerains of Tsunuga. The Heavenly Sovereign's august years were one hundred and six. His august mausoleum is at Umasaka at Kotawoka.

About this reader

What is Scripture?

Scripture is a browser-based reader for sixteen sacred texts spanning multiple religious and literary traditions. It provides chapter-by-chapter navigation, full-text search across all works, word concordance with frequency analysis, verse-linked notes, text-to-speech, and deep linking to any chapter or verse.

Traditions Represented

The collection spans Abrahamic, East Asian, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Finnish, and Norse traditions. It includes King James biblical text and Apocrypha, Pickthall's Quran, the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, Legge's Four Books, Tao Te Ching, and Book of Poetry, Chamberlain's Kojiki, West's Bundahishn, Kern's Lotus Sutra, Haug and West's Arda Viraf, Crawford's Kalevala, and Bellows' Poetic Edda.

The committed manifests and chapter files currently describe 121 books, 2,724 chapters, and 63,141 verse records. In poetry and prose works, a verse record can represent a line or paragraph rather than a canonically numbered scriptural verse.

Licensing

The application source is AGPL-3.0. Generated text downloads and their structured arrangement are CC BY-SA 4.0; the underlying historic source texts are treated as public-domain inputs. The corpus metadata therefore describes the distributed arrangement with its CC BY-SA license rather than the Public Domain Mark.

Concordance and Related Passages

The concordance is an exact-word occurrence index with linked records grouped by work. Related Passages is separate: a TF-IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency) cosine-similarity index compares chapter vocabulary after stop-word removal and stores up to five cross-book matches above its threshold. It is a lexical discovery aid, not a claim of historical or theological equivalence.

Deep Linking

Every chapter and verse has a permanent URL. Chapter links follow the pattern /scripture/{work}/{book}-{chapter} (e.g., /scripture/ot/gen-1 for Genesis 1). Verse links append the verse number (e.g., /scripture/ot/gen-1:26 for Genesis 1:26). These URLs can be shared, bookmarked, or cited directly.

Accessibility

Scripture supports keyboard navigation throughout: Tab moves between controls, Enter activates verse actions, and arrow keys navigate chapters. The reading pane has a skip-to-content link. All overlays (search, concordance) are focus-trapped ARIA dialogs. Dynamic content regions use aria-live for screen reader announcements. Light and dark themes are available through the theme toggle. Verse numbers are visible to assistive technology. No flashing content or motion hazards.
