So, you haven't owned an Old Testament before?

This is the description of the edition on the website:
Quote:
|
The King James Bible of 1611 has been one of the richest sources for English language and literature for nearly four centuries and is itself a work of the greatest poetic beauty. This beautifully designed edition is for the general reader, uncluttered by footnotes and set in full pages rather than the usual narrow columns. George Steiner's introduction illuminates the Bible's profound effect on the history of English literature and includes a moving personal reading of the greatest of texts. It also places the Bible within the history and development of Judaeo-Christian thought.
|
I think they were trying to make it more accessible to the general reader. The King James Version comes in Old English and Modern English? I should imagine that Old English is virtually unintelligible to the modern reader.

It is probably a revised version of the King James.Just a guess though.
Quote:
|
The Revised Version (RV) or English Revised Version (ERV) of the Bible is a late 19th-century British revision of the King James Version. It was the first and remains the only officially authorized and recognized revision of the King James Version in Britain.
|
The revised version is the most studied and written about I believe.
Many concordances are used in conjunction with the revised version of the king James.
So you may study the original Hebrew or Greek and a few Aramaic words. |

It is in Old English. It is full of Thee, Doth and Thou.

If we ever meet up physically, we can sod pottage together.
As Genesis 25:29 reads:
"And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:"

The Lord's Prayer in Old English.
Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum, si þin nama gehalgod. To becume þin rice, gewurþe ðin willa, on eorðan swa swa on heofonum. Urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us todæg, and forgyf us ure gyltas, swa swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum. And ne gelæd þu us on costnunge, ac alys us of yfele. Soþlice.
