What is a USFM file and how would I get one?

@oxr463: USFM stands for "Uniform Standard Format Markup", there's more information at https://paratext.org/usfm/.

You can find USFM files in the other openenglishbible repositories: usfm-bible and Open-English-Bible (in the /source/ folder). However, note that in the latter, there is an additional thin layer of syntax to handle US/Commonwealth spelling variants, as explained here: https://github.com/openenglishbible/Open-English-Bible/wiki/OEB-Markup-Code.
