Notes

The 1828 Swedish Bible, known as the "1819 års kyrkobibel" (1819 Church Bible), was a significant translation of the Bible into Swedish. Published in 1828, this translation was commissioned by the Church of Sweden and sought to provide a more accessible and theologically precise text for Swedish-speaking Christians. The translation process involved a committee of scholars and clergymen who worked meticulously to ensure accuracy and clarity, reflecting contemporary language usage while maintaining fidelity to the original texts. This edition played a crucial role in Swedish religious life, shaping both liturgical practices and private devotion in the 19th century/
