A Directory Compiled by Artists for Israel International
Every platform, store, and archive we know of that hosts, sells, or distributes the OJB — gathered in one place for those seeking to read it.
The Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB), translated by Dr. Phillip Goble and published by Artists for Israel International, has spread far beyond its original printing — onto Bible-study platforms, into reading apps, and across the online archives that carry Scripture in hundreds of translations.

API.Bible is a developer platform run by American Bible Society (ABS) — it gives developers API access to a huge catalog of Bible translations (NIV, NKJV, NASB, NLT, and many more) through a single REST API, so instead of licensing and integrating each translation separately, an app or website can pull them all through one system. It currently offers roughly 2,500 Bible versions across 1,600+ languages, making it the largest single developer-facing Scripture API around. It uses the USX standard, so it stays in sync with the Digital Bible Library (DBL) and other major Bible organizations. This screenshot is page 27 of the full bibles listing at api.bible/bibles — basically the master catalog of every Bible text (and audio Bible) available through the API, and the Orthodox Jewish Bible (TOJB2011) shows up right in the middle of it, alongside things like Makua, Holiya, and Gowli translations. This is the significance for the OJB specifically: It's not just hosted somewhere obscure — it's in the same infrastructure serving NIV, NLT, WEBBE, etc. Any developer building a Bible app, congregational website, or study tool with API.Bible can pull OJB text through the same endpoints they'd use for any mainstream translation. The checkmark next to it (like all the others on the page) typically indicates the license/availability status for that Bible within the API — meaning it's an active, queryable text in the catalog, not just listed as metadata. Because API.Bible is a RESTful service run by American Bible Society aimed at making Scripture accessible for digital use by developers, ministries, and organizations, having OJB there means it can surface inside third-party Bible apps, YouVersion-adjacent tools, or any product built on this API — without those developers needing to negotiate licensing with AFII directly. Also Get.Bible is another online portal operated by the American Bible Society that serves as a central hub for .bible domain names and digital scripture engagement tools. It helps developers, ministries, and organizations connect people to the Bible online. This involves Domain Registry. Here Get.Bible acts as the management and information site for the specialized .bible top-level internet domain, helping faith-based projects brand themselves clearly. This also involves Digital Tools & APIs providing access to developer resources like the Bible Search API and web widgets to easily embed scripture into external apps and websites. Also involved is Platform Guidance offering educational resources comparing digital infrastructure options (such as API.Bible versus Library.Bible) for software creators building faith-based technology. But there is more good news regarding the screenshot of page 27 of the API.Bible. The Orthodox Jewish Bible is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution license 4.0 (CC BY 4.0), meaning anyone can share and redistribute the translation or extracts from it in any format, provided they include the copyright and source information and clearly flag any changes they make to the text so it isn't mistaken for an endorsement by the original licensor. What that means for its position on API.Bible specifically: API.Bible splits its catalog into Open Access Bibles (public domain + Creative Commons, available on every plan including the free Starter tier) versus copyrighted Bibles that need a Standard or Unique paid license. Since OJB is CC BY 4.0, it falls in the Open Access bucket — available to any developer on the free Starter Plan, not gated behind the Pro/paid tier. Because it's open-access, it doesn't require a Commercial or Non-Commercial Use Agreement the way copyrighted translations do — those distinctions matter for Standard/Unique-licensed Bibles, not CC-licensed ones. Practically: any app, congregation website, or Scripture tool built on API.Bible — even a hobbyist using the free tier — can pull full OJB text with zero licensing friction, as long as they credit AFII as the source. That's a meaningfully lower barrier than what NIV or NASB require on that same platform, where a paid Standard License and separate agreement is needed. So the OJB's checkmark on that listing page isn't just "it's in the catalog" — it reflects that it's one of the fully open, freely redistributable texts sitting right alongside the major commercial translations, with the widest possible reach for developers building Bible software.
