1. The Heavenly Sovereign Oho-tarashi-hiko-oshiro-wake dwelt in the palace of Hishiro at Makimuku, and ruled the Empire. This Heavenly Sovereign wedded the Elder Lady of Inabi in Harima, daughter of Waka-take, Prince of Kibi ancestor of the Grandees of Kibi, and begot august children: King Kushi-tsunu-wake; next His Augustness Ohousu; next His Augustness Wo-usu, another name for whom is His Augustness Yamato wo-guna; next His Augustness Yamato-ne-ko; next King Kamu-kushi. Again wedding Her Augustness Princess Yasaka-no-iri, daughter of His Augustness Prince Yasaka-no-iri, he begot august children: His Augustness Prince Waka-rarashi; next His Augustness Prince Iho-ki-no-iri; next His Augustness Oshi-no-wake; next Her Augustness Princess Iho-ki-no-iri. Children by another concubine were: King Toyo-to-wake; next the Lady Nunoshiro. Children by another concubine were: the Lady Nunaki; next Her Augustness Princess Kago-yori; next King Prince Waka-ki-no-iri; next King the Elder Prince of Kibi-no-ye; next Her Augustness Princess Takaki; next Her Augustness Princess Oto. Again wedding Princess Mi-hakashi of Himuku, he begot an august child: King Toyo-kuni-wake. Again wedding the Younger Lady of Inabi, younger sister of the Elder Lady of Inabi, he begot august children: King Ma-waka; next King Hiko-hito-no-oho-ye. Again wedding Princess Ka-guro, daughter of King Princess Sume-iro-oho-naka-tsu-hiko, great-grand-child of His Augustness Yamato-take, he begot an august child: King Oho-ye. The august children of this Heavenly Sovereign Oho-tarashi-hiko numbered in all twenty-one kings and queens of whom there is a register, and fifty-nine kings and queens of whom there is no record, eighty kings and queens altogether, out of whom His Augustness Waka-tarashi-hiko and also His Augustness Yamato-take, and also His Augustness Prince I-ho-ki-no-iri, these three Kings, bore the name of Heirs Apparent. The seventy-seven kings and queens beside these were all granted Rulerships in the various lands, or else posts as Lords, Territorial Lords or Departmental Chiefs. So His Augustness Waka-tarashi-hiko was he who afterward ruled the Empire. His Augustness Wo-usu subdued the savage deities and likewise the unsubmissive people in the East and West. The next, King Kushi-tsunu-wake was the ancestor of the chiefs of Mamuta. The next, His Augustness Oho-Usu, was the ancestor of the Dukes of Mori, of the Dukes of Ohota and of the Dukes of Shimada. The next, King Kamukushi, was the ancestor of the Sakabe Abiko in the Land of Ki, and of the Sakabe of Uda. The next, King Toyo-kuni-wake was the ancestor of the Rulers of the Land of Himuka.

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.
