Old Testament

Good to know

The Study Bible books contain the content of the original first edition of the Study Bible.This content is not revised in the Study Bible books through content updates and additions.

In the subscription of the Study Bible app this does happen: the OT commentary undergoes there (for free) a slight revision and the NT commentary a substantial revision and expansion. In the purchase version of the Study Bible app, this does not happen automatically, but content updates can be purchased.

So the Study Bible books offer a wealth of information, but lack the content updates that are incorporated in the Study Bible app.
