Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The dataset was created to provide a high-quality, structured Bible corpus for computational and AI applications. It allows researchers and developers to train models on organized scripture data.

Source Data

• Derived from publicly available Bible text sources
• Processed to ensure consistent formatting of chapters, verses, and citation identifiers

Data Collection and Processing

• Standardized verse formatting
• Cleaned line breaks and whitespace
• Ensured consistent citation identifiers for each verse

Who are the source data producers?

The data was curated by Christopher Chibuikem from public domain Bible texts.

Annotations [optional]

Annotation process

Verses were formatted and checked for consistency. No external annotators were involved.

Who are the annotators?

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

• Text reflects traditional English Bible translations; interpretations are translation-specific
• Models trained on this dataset inherit the language and style of the original translation
• Not suitable for applications requiring multiple translations or paraphrased content

Recommendations

• Use responsibly for AI applications involving religious texts
• Consider adding multiple translations for broader linguistic coverage
