1. His Augustness Mima-ki-iri-biko-iniwe dwelt at the Palace of Midzu-gaki at Shiki, and ruled the Empire. This Heavenly Sovereign wedded Tohotsu-no-ayu-me-me-kuhashi, daughter of Arakaha-to-be, Ruler of the land of Ki, and begot august children: His Augustness Toyo-ki-iri-biko, and next Her Augustness Toyo-suki-iri-bime two Deities. Again, wedding the Great Princess of Ama, ancestress of the Chiefs of Wohori, he begot august children: His Augustness Oho-iri-ki; next His Augustness Ya-saka-no-iri-biko; next Her Augustness Nuna-ki-no-iri-bime; next Her Augustness Towochi-no-iri-bime four Deities. Again, wedding Her Augustness Princess Mimatsu, daughter of His Augustness Oho-biko, he begot august children: His Augustness Ikume-iri-biko-isachi next His Augustness Iza-no-ma-waka; next Her Augustness Princess Kuni-kata; next Her Augustness Princess Chiji-tsuku-yamato; next Her Augustness Princess Iga; next His Augustness Yamato-Hiko six Deities. The august children of this Heavenly Sovereign numbered in all twelve Deities seven Kings and Queens. So His Augustness Ikume-iri-biko-isachi was he who afterwards ruled the Empire. The next, His Augustness Toyo-ki-iri-biko was the ancestor of the Dukes of Kami-tsu ke-nu, and the Dukes of Shimo-tsu-ke-nu. The younger sister, Her Augustness Princess Toyo-Suki was high-priestess of the temple of the Great Deity of Ise. The next brother, His Augustness Oho-iri-ki was ancestor of the Grandees of Noto. The next, His Augustness Yamato-hiko, in the time of this King a hedge of men was the first time set in the mausoleum.

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.
