How to Download a Text Team Sefaria Updated June 16, 2025 14:46 Most of the resources in Sefaria’s library are free to download. When downloading a text, you’ll be asked to specify the version and format you’d like to download. The version refers to a specific edition of the text (e.g. The Koren Jerusalem Bible). The format refers to the file type and can be determined by your intended use of the downloaded text. For example, a CSV file can be viewed in a text editor or a spreadsheet program (such as Microsoft Excel). A JSON file can be used in code-editing programs, such as Visual Studio Code.
