1. This Prince His Augustness Yamato-take wedded Her Augustness Princess Futaji-no-iri, daughter of the Heavenly Sovereign Ikume, and begot an august child: His Augustness Tarashi-naka-tsu-hiko one Deity. Again, wedding Her Augustness Princess Oto-tachibana who afterwards entered the sea, he begot an august child: King Waka-take one Deity. Again, wedding Princess Futaji, daughter of Oho-tamu-wake, ancestor of the Rulers of the Land of Yasu in Chika-tsu-Afumi, he begot an august child: King Ine-yori-wake one Deity. Again, wedding Princess Oho-kibi-take, younger sister of Take-hiko ancestor of the Grandees of Kiki, he begot an august child: King Take-kahiko one Deity. Again, wedding Princess Kukuma-mori of Yamashiro, he begot an august child, King Ashi-kagami-wake one Deity. A child by another wife was King Okinaga-ta-wake. Al-together the entire number of the august children of His Augustness Yamato-take was six Deities. So His Augustness Tarashi-naka-tsu-hiko was he who afterwards ruled the Empire. The next, King Ine-yori-wake was the ancestor of the Dukes of Inukami and of the Dukes of Takebe. The next, King Take-kahiko was the ancestor of the Dukes of Aya in Sanugi, the Dukes of Wake in Iyo, the Lords of Towo, the Headmen of Masa and the Lords of Miyaji. King Ashi-kagami-wake was the ancestor of the Lords of Kamakura, the Dukes of Wodzu, the Lords of Ihashiro and the Lords of Fukita. The child of the next, King Okinaga-ta-wake was King Kuhi-mata-naga-hiko. This King's children were: Her Augustness Princess Ihinu-ma-guro, next Okinaga-ma-waka-naka-tsu-hime, next Oto-hime three Deities. So the above mentioned King Waka-take wedded Princess Ihinu-ma-guro, and begot King Sume-iro-oho-naka-tsu-hiko. This King wedded Princess Shibanu, daughter of Shibanu-iri-ki of Afumi, and begot a child, Her Augustness Princess Kaguro. So the Heavenly Sovereign Oho-tarashi-hiko wedded this lady Her Augustness Princess Kaguro, and begot King Oho-ye one Deity. This King wedded his younger half-sister Queen Shiro-kane, and begot children: King Oho-na-gata, and next Her Augustness Oho-naka-tsu-hime two Deities. So this Lady Her Augustness Oho-naka-tsu-hime was the august mother of King Kagosaka and King Oshikuma.

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.
