The Bible In Basic English (also known as BBE) is a translation of the Bible into Basic English. The BBE was translated by Professor S. H. Hooke using the standard 850 Basic English words. 100 words that were helpful to understand poetry were added along with 50 ''Bible'' words for a total of 1,000 words. This version is effective in communicating the Bible to those with limited education or where English is a second language.
