Internet Sacred Text Archive

https://www.sacred-texts.com/index.htm
All the classics from all the spiritual movements up to the early 20th century.  While the more ancient ones have problematic translations from the original, these texts reflect the spirit of the time in which they were written and are thus historical in their own right.

Greek / Hebrew Interlinear Bible

https://scripture4all.org/
The goal of this site is to have the reader get more in touch with the original by providing a literal word by word translation line by line. The Hebrew scriptures use The Leningrad Codex which is the oldest existing, essentially complete Hebrew version. It dates to 1010 CE and it was likely written in Cairo, Egypt. By this time the consonant only Hebrew letters had been associated with various vowel sounds by the addition of diacritic marks (dots) above and below the letters. (remember Hebrew words are read right to left)
