==Translation philosophy==

Explaining his translation philosophy for the LITV, the author stated regarding the Old Testament:
<blockquote>
The Hebrews were basically a pastoral people. Their language originally was pictorial, and as such it was descriptive by nature. For example, their place names were descriptive: 'The Graves of Lust; The Valley of the Giants,' etc. In this volume these true meanings are revealed, not mere [[transliteration]] of the [[Hebrew alphabet|Hebrew letters]] being made to suffice. The personification of everything (there were no neuters to the Hebrews, nor any merely secular objects), gleams through a [[literal translation]] -- for all things and all men were perceived in relation to God Almighty. This literal translation tends to bring the reader into the frame of mind that
existed in the times the Biblical words were written. That then promotes a full understanding.
</blockquote>

Green's translation renders the [[Tetragrammaton]] as "[[Jehovah]]" in 6,866 places throughout the Old Testament. With respect to the transliteration of the Tetragrammaton, Green opined that the worst approach was to transliterate the name as ''Lord'', writing that "Every nation had their lords, but only Israel had Jehovah as their God. All other countries were ''the nations.''"

Regarding his translation philosophy and the New Testament, the author stated:
<blockquote>
As for the Greek, it is noted as a language that has a word for every occasion. This vivid variety of expression is evident in [[the Holy Scriptures]]. Yet the Greek commonly in use, rather than the [[Ancient Greek|classical Greek]], was written by [[Saint Peter|Peter]] the unlearned fisherman, [[Saint Luke|Luke]] the learned Physician, and by [[Saint Paul|Paul]] the trained theologian. In conveying to the Bible student the commands and principles of God, it is important that the translator also convey in literal, simple English what God has written for His people. A translation of the Bible is no place to show off the vocabulary and [[erudition]] of the translator.

In addition, every precaution was taken to preserve the particulars of the text; each verb is carefully scrutinized to maintain its tense, number, voice and mood; the case of each noun examined to retain its proper function in sentence; each participle carefully translated to preserve its aspect. Sense words (words added by the translator to make a sentence more intelligible) are kept to an absolute minimum without sacrificing readability, and when used are always bracketed so that you know which words are God's and which are the translator's. You won't find a more literal rendition of the very words of God in any other version (not even in the [[New American Standard Bible|NASB]])!

There are mysterious things, things hard to understand (2 Peter 3:15,16) in the Scriptures, but it is not the literal meanings of the Hebrew or Greek words that cause this to be so. The "different gospel" preached by those "troubling you and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ," cannot be justly derived from the literal words written by the Divine penmen, for these holy men were "borne along by [[Holy Spirit|the Holy Spirit]]," ([[First Epistle of Peter|1 Peter]] 1:21). This plan of this volume is not to lead (or mislead) the reader, but to bring him or her face to face with God by simply giving the literal meanings of the words which He had written for our spiritual direction. In doing this we adhere to His maxim, "Let God be true, and every man a liar" (Romans 3:4).[1]
