What do you mean by "with a little editing work done"?
I'm a little unsure what that meant, too. I went ahead and had a listen, assuming you meant that you'd already done the "little editing work." I also took the liberty of entering the run time in the MW as it would normally be done, as an example.
I have one suggestion, but it's completely optional what you do with it. At the very beginning of the ebook, the following note is given:
The original text makes heavy use of the "long s" character. These have been replaced with the ASCII "s".
I don't know if you're familiar with the "long s," but it is quite common in old books. It is an "s" that looks an awful lot like an "f". I mention it because of line 15: "A numerous feed is promised." Genesis 15 is when God promised Abraham a numerous
seed, so I strongly suspect that this is an instance where the transcribers accidentally kept the f[eed] and it should be s[eed]. If you choose to leave it as is, though, that's completely fine. But I wanted to point it out, because "feed" didn't make much sense to me.
I saw that you asked in the help forum about how to improve your recordings, and I hope you don't mind me offering my two cents here. I didn't hear any mouth clicks in this, or none that got my attention anyway, so I don't think you need to worry about that too much. I did hear some inconsistent background noise throughout. Not the kind of background noise that can be cleaned out, in other words. It sounds like some kind of clattering. Was there a family member moving around and doing things while you were recording? Or do you have a pet bird/rodent/cat/something that was playing and moving? I think that if you can find the source of those noises and stop your mic from picking them up somehow, and maybe slow down your pace a tiny bit, that would go a very long way for you.
