As of September 30, 2006 there were 12,156 of the 23,139 verses of the ISV Old Testament (about 52.5%) completed.
As of December 31, 2006 at 5:47 PM and only 9,365 verses of the ISV Bible remain to be translated.(Looks like no more percentage)


The translation aims to be central between a literal translation and an idiomatic translation, a philosophy the ISV translation team call "literal-idiomatic" (p. xliii of the ISV Introduction).
