I couldn't rep you arrg,, lol
Though thanks for your post I like your approach, it was perplexing to me, got me thinking contemplating on it.
It was a little over the top, I tuned down the verbiage
17 All the generations, therefore, are, from Abraham to David fourteen generations, (further) from David to the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations, (furthermore) from the captivity of Babylon to the Messiah fourteen generations.
18 (resultantly) the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 (withal) Joseph her husband was a righteous man, (farther) unwilling to expose her: (moreover) he thought of putting her away privately.
20 (hence,) while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, (thereupon) said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit:

I like this version. I like the old English. I've always liked the King James version too. I just don't really like all the and(s) that it uses. So I really like how you are replacing those in this version.
I like the archaic style as well, along with some basic and advance styles also, I feel as this would be a good mixer.
I agree the redundant usage of (and) is a little much...

I didn't click it I don't need too, I all ready know there's issue with it along with issues with most of them I haven't read any that didn't have so kind of issue, but the Peshito told it how it is, that Mary is a Magdalene Mary of Magdala. Very few English or Greek whatever mentions Mary was from Magdala, or even present the facts like it should be.. All English versions that have it is Mary Magdalene is missing the THE or A, which ever that's how it should be.. I never knew Mary was from Magdala until I read a Peshito. so for now I like it because it taught me about the subject...
The most popular English bibles today, haven't fixed it, KJV,NIV,NASB and a ton more...

FYI, surnames only started being used in the Middle ages, based on people's occupations, where they lived, or the first name of their father.

The project I'm working on has to be from a copyrights free version, I don't want to be sued for using somebody else's version. Once I complete a revision of one bible, the revision should be able to work across the board into other translations. my goal is updating mostly the (And) transition word. Among these other bibles I am considering having two versions, set one of the Peshito and the other a KJV, possibly a Greek version too. I like the older pure Cambridge version of the KJV. this isn't much different than the 1611 but enough that I prefer the Cambridge over the 1611. Lofty goals indeed but I aim high lol...
The first part I'm working on now is producing the four gospels as one fluid account, I haven't been much of a fan of four different accounts in four different gospels, way to many differences across the four books some of these accounts don't even line up at all.
Then maybe, I haven't decided on adding a OT version or not, so for now I'm just gathering material for my project if nothing else but for enjoyment in all this that I am doing, hopefully I'll complete it one day, if not that's ok too for now it's bringing me joy and I'm learning more and more each day.
