the kjv is cooler than the nrsv . . .
And as proof, take a look at the KJV’s 46th Psalm. Counting the 46th word from the front and back will reveal that: Related Posts:. . . but the nrsv’s better translated.be still!robinson and pierpont, collated against the kjv, post 9purchase 2names of isaac’s mother in the septuagint
names of isaac’s mother in the septuagint
It seems like comparing the Septuagint to the Masoretic OT tends to create more questions than it answers. For example, in Genesis 17:15, with which those of you who were thoroughly Sunday-schooled will probably be familiar, Abraham is told that his wife shall no longer be called Sarai, but rather Sarah. In the Hebrew consonantal [...]

only (?) believe: conflation is alive and well
There is one mega-church in my area: Only Believe Ministries. In the spirit of reaching across church lines, my family did a one-time visit to fellowship with our Only Believe brethren (and sistren?). We discovered the the charismatic KJV-using church gave out little mugs to first-time comers, emblazoned with the alleged source of their name. [...]

Scrivener’s Fourth Mistake — A Complete List of Differences Between Scrivener and the KJV’s Vorlage
Awhile back, I found that I couldn’t find any comprehensive list of places where Scrivener’s translation was not an accurate representation of the Greek underlying the KJV. So I worked with some existing sources and found a grand total of three places, which I posted here. I explained that the KJV uses a variant different [...]

fire, the holy ghost, all the people, and greek texts
My bible reading today found me in Luke, and I came across Luke 2:10, about which I thought some information would be worth sharing. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. — KJV This verse sounds like a [...]

posting through the deuterocanonicals: tobit 3
A little housekeeping: Joel informs me that there are multiple textual traditions for Tobit, which are discussed in detail here, in the New English Translation of the Bible. Which has excellent footnotes, by the way. Anyhoo, I’ll generally be ignoring textual issues and just following and adapting the KJV text of Tobit. But I just [...]

posting through the deuterocanonicals: tobit 1
Let us begin this journey with the book of Tobit, because that’s what the deuterocanon starts with in my NRSV. Quotations in these posts, however, will be adapted from the KJV, to avoid copyright restrictions. Feel free to use the text if you find it in any way useful. Let us begin: Related Posts:deuterocanonical friday: [...]

what eved-melek means to me
When I was a little boy I had a little Bible book of cartoon pictures, a far more complete Bible than many children’s Bibles–if I remember right it even included the book of Hosea. Serious children’s Bible. Everyone did, however, look suspiciously European in skin tone. Except for Eved Melek. Eved Melek was black, and [...]
