I need help pronouncing words and names in the Bible. Please recommend some books that are easy to understand and reference.
Thanks.

I've not seen every English language version, but I believe they usually keep the Hebrew, etc., names, and I'm unsure of how to pronounce them. I've read that English spelled Japanese words are often mispronounced.

Net recommendations are good, but I want to be able to read aloud to someone with very bad vision, and I'd find a book easier in this case. The person has very limited mobility.

It's just the Biblical word with the pronunciation next it all the way through.

For an online reference, you could go to net.bible.org, go to the chapter and look for the verse in question. There is a tab labeled "Names," where you can click a certain name, then click the Strong's number given to that name. The Strong's reference to that Hebrew / Greek word will include pronounciation data (albeit in its original tongue).
As a rule of thumb, how you read it should suffice to how it is pronounced in English.

It varies depending on where you are from as to how it is pronounced. You shouldn't concern yourself too much with that just sound it out. Others will get the idea.
