Deviations in 1 Maccabees, Nelson KJV with Apocrypha 

A video about errors in Ecclesiasticus may be viewed here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zDWEtOUtIQo.html . My review of this edition: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EM5JoPbFNj0.html .

@RGrantJones There may be a source here for the Apocrypha (yet not with 3 Maccabees). Perhaps it is the "King James Version w/ Apocrypha" module for the Bible software program e-Sword, as it matches 3 of the 4 errors: 1Ma 1:22 "crown" 1Ma 1:57 "committed" 1Ma 1:63 "the" I would not be surprised if Nelson just grabbed the free, open source "Sword project" files (a Bible software project which e-Sword came from) and barely edited the text against any actual print edition of the Apocrypha.

My New Cambridge Paragraph Bible will continue to be my KJV of choice. This one had potential, but Nelson needs to fix the typos and add back in the rest of the missing material (the preface and marginal notes) before I'm willing to consider it a legitimate option.

so far I haven't seen anything wrong in the OT and NT, thank you for updating us. It is rare if any publisher makes a KJV with the apocrypha.

Judas Maccabeus would not be pleased! Haha. Seriously though, it's to be expected, especially when it's a new publication. Hopefully they'll rectify it for the next release.

Thank you for teaching us so much

Excited for that NCB review! I tried sharing the ISBN with you many months ago, but RU-vid never actually posted my comment no matter what I did. Glad that you got your hands on a copy!

Has anybody notified Thomas Nelson so that they can fix the typos?

I believe Thomas Nelson published a KJV with Apocrypha including 3 Maccabees on behalf of The New Apostolic Church, Canada in 1990. I wonder if this is where this edition originated and TN forgot? Some years later they also published the NKJV with an expanded apocrypha(!), which I’ve long been curious about.

Another one 😢 I'm so glad I didn't purchase this.

@RGrantJones are there any good alternatives to this edition?. I was looking for a kjv with apocrypha with a modern typeface, footnotes for archaic terms, and updated spelling just like this edition; however the errors which have been found make it seem like it's not a good buy.

Hey brother thank you for the heads up with the typos with the Nelson Apocrypha / deuterocanonical books if you would do me a little favor I have the one The Nelson in your videos when you have discovered all of them list then in your last video concerning type O so I can go through a correct them all at once, I wouldn't trust anyone else but you, and I know you'll find them all. I have the new Catholic Bible, it was published in the Philippines and a very much looking forward to your review on how it measures up, compared to the other translations you have, thank you so much, I always look forward to your downloads. Thank you 🔥🤟⛪👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🇺🇸

One of these I see clearly as a typo (the/they). Are the others typos or intentional choices in translation from Greek? I’m not familiar with how the Nelson edition was assembled, either referencing original source or solely an earlier KJV.

At least these should be very simple fixes for a future reprint. Did they ever get back to you as to where they got their 3 Maccabees and 2 Esdras translations from?

I have the NCB, and I refer to it from time to time. I look forward to your review. BTW, I was on the Anglican House Press website recently, and I saw that they have a new edition of the ESV with Apocrypha. It looks like it's a better quality edition then their previous edition, but it's also twice as much. I don't think I will buy it, but perhaps others would be interested in a review.

I have this edition too. Check out 2 Esdras and compare to the KJV. There are whole verses and sometimes bunches of verses that read like a totally different translation. Ex. 2 Esdras Ch. 14. Take a look at it. I've contacted Nelson about it, but they haven't sent me any explanation.

And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. -Jeremiah 29:13 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. -John 3:16 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out. -Acts 3:19 .

Heretical prayer: O Mother of Perpetual Help, thou art the dispenser of all the gifts which God grants to us miserable sinners; and for this end He has made thee so powerful, so rich, and so bountiful, in order that thou mayest help us in our misery. Thou art the advocate of the most wretched and abandoned sinners who have recourse to thee: come to my aid, for I recommend myself to thee. In thy hands I place my eternal salvation, and to thee I entrust my soul. Count me among thy most devoted servants; take me under thy protection, and it is enough for me. For, if thou protect me, I fear nothing; not from my sins, because thou wilt obtain for me the pardon of them; nor from the devils, because thou art more powerful than all hell together; nor even from Jesus, my judge, because by one prayer from thee He will be appeased. But one thing I fear: that in the hour of temptation I may through negligence fail to have recourse to thee and thus perish miserably. Obtain for me, therefore, the pardon of my sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance, and the grace ever to have recourse to thee, O Mother of Perpetual Help. This is a legit Roman Catholic prayer, look up "O Mother of Perpetual Help" if you want to know if it’s legit. This is super heretical. This doctrine of invoking departed saints doesn’t seem just like "hey it’s like praying to a friend.". . :) .

They did a very poor job on this didn't they? No way I'd pick this trash up...
