We have made every effort to bring the charts from the ESV Study Bible print edition to the ePub edition. However, the screen size and resolution limitations of any portable device make some of these charts illegible. Due to these limitations, we are providing a link for each chart that you can visit with your computers web browser.

Some ePub readers do not support Hebrew characters. Wherever Hebrew characters are used in the ESV Study Bible, ePub Edition, we have inserted them as images. This means that the size of Hebrew characters will not be affected when you vary the text size and may not be the same size as Roman and Greek characters.
