| De Bibel is a Low German Bible. The New Testament is a revision of Daut Niehe
Tastament translated by J.J. Neufeld. The Old Testament was translated by Ed Zacharias, a
missionary among the Mennonites in Mexico. The translation is in the Old Colony dialect rather
than the Molotschna dialect. However, regardless of the dialogue spoken, research shows that the
reader is able to read the text. Includes 9 pages of maps. Copyright Nov 2003 Kindred
