The King James Bible (1611) and early bibles (full discussion) 

What a joy to come across this here, five years later! I grew up as a Presbyterian here in Texas with the Authorized Version alternating with the Revised Standard and my father loved the Knox. Great presentation!

Just for the curators, you both did an outstanding job.

That was very helpful, I received a Geneva Bible for Christmas and had some questions . thank you❗🇺🇸

Thank you for sharing such valued insights into the background which created our legacy of the King James Bible of 1611. We owe a debt of gratitude to Gordon Campbell & Helen Moore for the knowledge they proclaimed.

Wow, I really learned a lot. Fascinating!

👍 ... I grew up on the 1984 New World Translation ... But now use the 1966 Doubleday Jerusalem Bible with the Zondervan and Cambridge as the Library ... Much Respect ... I always get impressed when women can teach men to listen from the Bible ... St Joseph Bible

Really enjoyed your visual feast of these magnificent Bibles, and for the wealth of detailed info on their production. I'd long understoon that every 1611 KJV Bible extant is unique because of sheet mix 'n' matching (plus page type resets), nice hearing that comment from Helen on this. I didn't realise that the OT title page was so much rarer, having not long survived the punishing processes of printing. I worked in a printing house in my eary years, collecting spent lead type and melting it down to pour ingots for the linotypists. The type of 1611 wouldn't have lasted the 'press' too long before a page reset was needed. A great opportunity to correct any typos, and introduce a few new ones! Errors are the strength of the book's credibility, not it's weakness. Great presentation. Thank you. Alvin.

Many thanks to professors Gordon Campbell, Helen Moore and all the others who made this presentation possible. I have sometimes wondered if there were any scholars remaining who could answer questions about the Bible. I feared they may have all passed away and their knowledge with them. I have at least one question about the English of the Authorised Version. It concerns the custom in I Corinthians. Almost anyone is willing to answer the question is unqualified to answer. I appreciate the honesty of those who acknowledge their lack of understanding, but this question has been with me for years, and is nontrivial. I will endeavour to find a way to contact one of you. Again thankyou for this presentation. Sincerely, William K. Earl

I am happy to say I often assisted Pastor Jewel Smith when he would set up his display of Bibles as a lectured from church to church, and he allowed me to handle a research several first editions! I wonder today what became of his collection?!

What an absolute gift.

What a wonderful conversation. I enjoyed every moment!

Thanks for the beautiful and informative presentation. Superb.

Greetings from Germany. Thank you very much for this interesting video. I've learned very much.

Amazing stories..love it!!

My compliments for a splendid presentation

I recommend The Translators Revived by Alexander McClure a great book for anyone who wants to know about the Translators it lists ALL OF THEM WITH THEIR INFORMATION AND TRANSLATING EXPERIENCE!!

Thank you. Excellent in every sense.

Nice information 🙏🙏🙏

Salute your good job and thanks for this video about Gospel

Wonderful video, great to see inside these wonderful books. I can not help but always going back to an episode of Vicar of Dibley where Alice is to read from the KJ with its old style F's and S's. It come to the line 'And i shall be your sucker", ill just leave it there...lol.

Hi I have a bible like that the binding is not very good if you could get back to me I could send pics as I would love to find out more about it thanks

How do you feel about the critical text and modern textual critics and bibles

Can you please explain the the following names: Iacob, Iames, Iohn, Iofeh, Iudah? I am well informed I ask this for those of us who are not.

I love the study of all things academic. Knowledge is for all people small and great. The translators were the top scholars of that era. Academia was born of the Greeks and passed into all of Europe and eventually all the world. The great intellectual benefits derived are for all people to experience and prosper by! Praise God!

I'm just here for that intro music.

Very good.

"Derivative copyright law" The reason, the word of God is well preserved in the KJV 1611, by the Royal Crown of England, to preserve authenticity for over 400 years now. May God keep you blessed. All glory to God Almighty!

Thank you

Interesting

Very nice video, and educational regarding Bible history. But one small correction around 41:20. The Israelite women in question were not Jews, but Israelites or Hebrews. Except for the Book of Esther, you will not find them called Jews anywhere in the OT. That word came along much, much later and constitutes one tribe of twelve with the Jews coming from the tribe of Judah...namely after the Babylonian Captivity. Moses was from the tribe of Levi. To call the ancient Israelites who lived c. 1500 BC Jews is unbiblical and erroneous.

EVERYTHING IS "WHITED OUT!."

Good evening, my question is that I have heard from a few people the the KJV has a number of mistakes during the translation. I would like to know if this is true?

With the multitude of bibles that have been translated over the centuries this should be easy to find. Can someone tell me what was God's first creation?

Wycliffe used the word charity in I. Corinthians 13

I’m just wondering how they carried that big book lol

Look at all the triangles on the 1st page !

Any evidence that the 'He' bible are recognized as having been produced in 1611?

The "he"/"she" bibles.... Either are correct.... They both went into the city..... The term "charity" is superior to the Hebrew term "love" due to the fact, charity is always love, love is not always charity! Charity teaches a physical love like helping someone because you love them....

The more info that's out there, the more misinformation is out there as well. King James Preface clearly states this matter.

There were other bible before King James like Wycliffe and Westcott and Horton before King james

Lets play special way?

1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Ephesians 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:14

😮

JESUS✝️IS THE TRUTH✝️ JESUS CHRIST✝️REIGNS FOREVER MORE...HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! AMEN✝️ Somebody wrote "Bible" in the title starting with a small "b!" Please always write "Bible" starting with a Capital "B!" THE BIBLE IS THE PERFECT, INERRANT, AND INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD. "...Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105 (KJV) I LOVE YOU, O MY HOLY FATHER IN HEAVEN WITH ALL MY HEART, AND WITH ALL MY SOUL, AND WITH ALL MY MIND, AND WITH ALL MY STRENGTH. And I love my neighbor as myself. I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU FIRST LOVED ME. I LOVE YOU TO DEATH, O MY BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, AND MARVELOUS HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS' MIGHTY, PRECIOUS, AND WONDERFUL NAME I PRAY. AMEN.

Eternal torment would violate God’s justice. (Deuteronomy 32:4) When the first man, Adam, sinned, God told him that his punishment would simply be to pass out of existence: “Dust you are and to dust, you will return.” (Genesis 3:​19) God would have been lying if he were actually sending Adam to a fiery hell. God does not even contemplate eternal torment. Is God love? (1 John 4:8) A loving God would never torture billions of people for eternity nor does He ever say He will in our Bible. This is man's misinterpretation of scripture and man's church tradition which must scare people into attending services and paying tithes which is also not biblical. Once we learn how to identify mistranslated text in the popular KJV Bible (over 20,000) and how to divide Scripture properly, attributing what was meant for the nation of Israel and what was given to the apostle Paul for today's believer, the truth becomes crystal clear. But... if we mix doctrine and apply to Christians what was meant for the Jews, we see nothing but contradictions in our Bible. Salvation is now a free gift from God and there is nothing we can do or should do to receive it. Jesus did it all on the cross and all we need do is believe. If we attempt to gain our own salvation through works, we're simply saying that what Jesus did wasn't good enough and we need to add something to His sacrifice. When we believe in this manner, we make void the power of the cross. We need to stop judaising our Gospel given to the apostle Paul and start following the doctrine of our dispensation described in Romans - Philemon. If we reject Christ and His free gift of salvation, we are separated from God for the age by our choice along with 'everything' antichrist and NOT eternally tortured. That would be contrary to what a loving God had planned for all mankind. Can you really imagine our God torturing one of your family members for all eternity? No! - this would be vindictive and not just. Remember... the wages of sin is death, not eternal torment. Once we learn how and why the KJV Bible wrongly translates and applies the words aionion, Sheol, and Gehenna we realize why we can abandon our belief that God could lose the overwhelming majority of His creation to an Adversary that eternally tortures them which is not only unbiblical - it is ridiculous.

I love my KJV Bible, however when I lay it side by side with the 1560 Geneva Bible they very closely match up word for word. I think the King James boys just copied it and only made a very few minor changes and King James was never the wiser. Feel free to check it yourself.

Their scripture The law was long before their scripture

From my understanding, King James was Black...As all the 12 tribes of Israel. Having that depiction symolisme image was it not agains God Commendement from the catholic church???

He a Jew and she's a Catholic! Hum maybe I need 2 go by a Geneva bible ! Many false teachers ! I was raised on 1611 KJV! I have researched Hebrew language ! YHWH?? They changed it 2 God title word ! We all have a name and r Father in Heaven is r only father , no church no pope! Follow his spirit that which is all around us ! B mindful and awear

the real true translation of the word of God into the English language is not the 1611 King James Bible, changed and corrupted by Freemasons and devil worshippers. The real true word in English is the 1560 Geneva Bible, the Bible King James outlawed , he blamed the notes in the Bible as an excuse to condemn it but really and truly they were mad that for once the people had a translation by the people, not government approved or watered down with verses changed to confuse you and make things unclear(like the King James Bible). These were real God fearing men who wanted everyone to have the truth. They made it easy To buy and affordable unlike any Bible before it so that people could buy it will less than a weeks wages, no other Bible was affordable for the average person before this. They risked their lives translating this, and fleed persecution , it was translated with a passion for people to know the Scriptures in truth. It was published in Roman type print which is easy to read, not gothic print like the 1611 KJV which is very hard for someone to read especially people who weren’t very literate back then. The King James Bible used a lot of difficult, unnecessary choices for words (which they try to call poetic) as a way to confuse people as to what the true simple words should have been. I’ll put some examples below. The Geneva Bible of 1560 was the first Bible to be translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek, and the first to have numbered verses. This 47 man committee story about the King James is such a load of nonsense it’s a government, Masonic translation that has been corrupted and changed. The Word is alive when you read from the Geneva. I’d say the 1560 Geneva is better than the 1599 for sure as the 1599 had errors. They have done a very good job hiding the Geneva Bible from history there’s really not a lot out there even though it was the most popular Bible before and even after the 1611 was published. Banned printing and serious sanctions for owning it caused it to be pushed out of the public view , it was a political attack on the Word that caused it to cease. When the 1611 first came out it wasn’t accepted by anyone but the controlling corrupt Church of England. People were still reading and doing sermons from the Geneva after the 1611 King James Bible was published ,so they had to ban it and make printing it or importing it illegal. Hardly a testimony of a publicly received text is it? We’ll never know how bad the oppression was against readers and using the Geneva Bible because the evil powers above control what history we hear to the masses, but not all, so we know enough to know the basic truths about what happened. The history of the 1611 King James Bible is a complete lie. Guys I wish you all the best and I ask you to pray about this and don’t take my word for it, and if you can, get yourselves a 1560 Geneva Bible from Hendrickson Publishers and see how much clearer and better it is I promise you you will be shocked! I was, it was the best decision I’ve made. Or go to www.genevabible1560.com where you can read it online with modern day spelling for free. MANY PEOPLE FIND IT HARD TO ACCEPT BUT THE GENEVA BIBLE IS SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAY. IT CAN BE A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW BUT I PROMISE YOU IT IS TRUE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Here are a few examples of weird differences in verses and parts of verses that have been omitted that exposed certain truths… between the 1560 Geneva Bible and the 1611 King James Bible: 1560 Geneva Bible Psalm 5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitful. 1611 King James Bible Psalm 5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhorre the bloodie and deceitful man. 1560 Geneva Bible Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against worldie governours, the princes of the darkenes of this worlde, against spiritual wickednesses, which are in the hie places. 1611 King James Bible Ephesians 6:12 For wee wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darknes of this world, against spiritual wickednes in high places. 1560 Geneva Bible Acts 3:19 Amend your lives therefore, and turne, that your sinnes may be put away, when the time of refreshing shal come from the presence of the Lord. 1611 King James Bible Acts 3:19 Repent yee therefore,and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shal come from the presence of the Lord. 1560 Geneva Bible 2 Thess 2:3-4 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shal not come,except there be a departing first, and that that man of sinne be disclosed, even the sonne of perdition, 4 Which is an adversarie, and exalteth him self against all that is called God, or that is worshipped: so that he doeth sit as God in the Temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 1611 King James Bible 2 Thess 2:3-4 3 Let no man deceive you by any meanes, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sinne be revealed, the sonne of perdition, 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himselfe above all that is called God, or that is worshipped: so that he as God, sitteth in the Temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 1560 Geneva Bible Romans 12:3 For I say through the grace that is given unto me, to everie one that is among you, that no man presume to understand above that which is mete to understand, but that he understand according to sobrietie, as God hath dealt to everie man the measure of faith. 1611 King James Bible Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto mee, to every man that is among you, not to thinke of himselfe more highly then hee ought to thinke, but to thinke soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith Geneva Bible 1560 Philippians 1:21 For Christ is to me bothe in life, and in death advantage. 1611 King James Bible Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Lord Bless and I can assure that all translations are inferior to the KJV.

Without telling me where you found every piece of "information" you claim as you claim it, you assume I'm a child who likes stories. "Being academics therefore naturally devious" he said it. Bad mouthing King James?Sounds like commentary putting ideas into people's heads without being held responsible or showing evidence. The motives of King James were pure, the KJV is inspired.

The Dangers of King James: Here we go! If we are dedicated to going by Scripture, which translation are we going to prefer? The ONLY translation that contains the word Easter instead of Passover is the King James. You may ask, "What is the error?" Do you want your children to grow up worshiping a pagan fertility goddess, or the only true God who caused the angel of death to pass over the houses of the people Israel who had put blood on the doorposts and lintel? Our culture is more interested in eggs and bunnies than on the true meaning. What other Christian celebrations have been hijacked for secular purposes? How did the word Passover in Acts 12:4 get translated as Easter? Isn't that a variant of the name of a pagan fertility goddess? That would explain why our culture is more interested in eggs and rabbits than in Jesus at that time.

although the scotts have all that they have because of the irish if u care to go back in history

Nice bricks.

so much graven images the present versions are so much better

Both bibles do not have any provable, fact-based evidence of anything spiritual in the bible. And by "evidence" I mean, NOT any hearsay, feelings, faith, beliefs, hopes, coincidences or bible stories written by man. Thus, both are useful only as minor historical sources.

Spiffing

Why do we never hear scholars like yourselves talk about the "black monarchy of Europe" during the renaissance period?

What Bible has all the books of the Bible? The ones that are hidden? ie Enoch…

Aaron is on the title page because not anyone should read the Bible, but catholic priests? Absolute nonsense! Aaron is there because he was the first high priest, and he represents the Levitical priesthood, while Moses represents the law. And of course, God is the lawgiver, and the Lord Jesus Christ is our great high priest. A man must be born again, and the Lord must open a man’s spiritual eyes to see and understand what the scriptures say. Not through some blasphemous catholic priest! I’m glad they have the original first edition King James Bible restored and preserved, but these two are clearly Catholics, and their twisted catholic beliefs made a lot of the information presented here skewed and incorrect.

No j in Hebrew ! Yahweh is correct !

Too much of an echo. And unfortunately I can’t understand accents other then mine. Horrible for me.

Left brains

It's sad, That you study at Oxford and yet, have no idea what the Interlinear Scripture Analyzer says about H853! The most important Hebrew Text, ever, but you still do not know whom the Trinity, really is, nor their Personas! How about, Lord God of Genesis 2:4! Original Hebrew scriptures revea that Aleph and Tav, together, clarify who is First and Last and Whom is Alpha Omega! The Son's name is Lord God...And He, entered into His own Creation for the purpose of Redemption! He said in Greek that He was Alpha. Omega; meaning, Lord God was claiming to be the Author of the Talmud! His signature H853 is recorded 7,000+ times, in Hebrew and Greek!

Well, the first couple in the world (Adam and Eve) and they were Black people because they were formed from the dust of the ground. (Genesis 2:7-And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.). Eve and Adam were the father and Mother of the living up to date. Therefore Black coupe produced the White people into this wicked world of Satan.... Another interesting historical facts the story of the Osiris, a prominent god of the Heliopolitan Ennead, is best known as the god of death, even though he took on many other names and forms in ancient Egyptian mythology over time. Osiris is the god of death. Burial and resurrection. Just like Jesus Christ. Jesus name in Hebrew is Yeshua and in English is Joshua. His called in Heaven Emanuel meaning God with us. He lived in Egypt for good 12 years as black man. The son of God and he’s God too. Finally, is the Bible really the true word (Logos) God? 2 Timothy 3:16-All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness? When the Romans Catholic (Constantine and Alexander the Greek) had corrupted the Bible. So many denominations religion these days, my question is which one teaching the right doctrine and actually worshipping the God. Polytheism is the belief in many God’s. Who in this world today actually heard or hear from the Creator since 2019 years ago? If you do why is not the Bible? We know the James Bible is at least hold above other Bible versions. God said He created the evil and the good. Adam & Eve eat the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. I think we are, that's we are living dead. Men have eaten eaten and have in us evil and good in the world today. The only way is have one to one relationship with the Creator.... The White people need to take off the images of white God out of the Church and Black people needs to stop winding and sit up and face up to new challenges. We need to do our best and the Bottle Line is you are going to died one day rich or poor, Faith or no Faith, If rich and die and there is no God you win If you poor and die you lose I believe there's God and He doing for the 2019 years ago I don't know. Also, Satan is the ruler in this world. I also believe that one day in the next life (Eternity) we will like Adam and Eve again before they sin. Love one another (White and Black, Yellow and Blue) One God, One people and One Earth&Heaven. Stay Strong and know you are going to die poor or rich.

The original 1611 King James venison had over 30,000 mistakes most of which have been corrected of these changes and bad translations. That many errors show a design and plan. Because it hard for 54 scholars to miss up that many times by accident. Either it was on purpose or they were 54 of the most incompetent scholars in history and they had no business even trying to translate the Bible. Here is a small listing of only few of them. They are thousands more. This author has found over 4,823 examples, all through I humble admit I have not even begun to scratch the surfaces. Here is a small list of a few: Luke 1:28 ( King James Version) Hail, "thou that art highly favored,"our Lord is with thee (Should Be) Hail "full of grace," our Lord is with thee. Genesis 3:15 (King James Version) "Its" shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt "bruise his heel." (Should Be) "She" shall bruise thy head in pieces and "thou shalt lie in wait for her heel." James 5:16 (King James Version)"Confess" your "faults," (Should Be) Confess," therefore, your "sins" one to another Corinthians 9:5 (King James Version) Instead of "woman", they translate "wife" here also (Should Be) Have not we power to lead about a "woman", a sister Acts 20:28 (King James Version) Where in the Holy Ghost hath made you "overseers, to feed the church" of God (should Be) Take need to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you "bishops to rule the church" of God Matthew 11:10 (King James Version) Instead of "angel" they say "messenger" (should Be) For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send mine "angle" before thy face. 1 Timothy 9:14 (King James Version)For the word "graces" they say "gift" and " presbytery" the Greek word rather than the English word, "priesthood (should Be) Neglect not the "graces" that is in thee, which is given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of "priesthood." 1 Timothy 3:8 (King James Version) Likewise must the "deacons" be "grave" (should Be) "Deacons" in like manner "chaste," not double-tongued James 5:14 (King James Version) Elders for "priests" here also (should Be) Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the "priests" of the church, and let them pray over him Acts 15:2 ( King James Version) The "priest" they say her also "elders" (should Be) They appointed that Paul and Barnabas should go up and certain other of the rest, to the apostles and "priests" unto Jerusalem. Genesis 47:31 ( King James Version) And "Israel bowed himself upon" the bed’s head (should Be) "Israel adored God, turning to "the bed’s head. Romans 11:4 (King James Version)I have left me seven thousand men that have not bowed their knees to "the image of" Baal (should Be) I have left me seven thousand men that have not bowed their knees to Baal Genesis 37:35 ( King James Version) I will go down into the "grave" (should Be) I will go down to my son into "hell" mourning Genesis 42:38 (King James Version) For "hell" they also say "grave" (should Be) You will bring down my grey hair with sorrow unto "hell" 3 King 2:6,9 (King James Version) "To the grave (should Be) Unto "hell" Hosea 6:14 ( King James Version) O death, I will be thy "plagues;" O "grave", I will be thy destruction (should Be) O death, I will be thy death; I will be thy sting, O "hell" 2 Timothy 4:8 (King James Version) For "justice" they translate to righteousness and for a "just Judge" they say a righteous judge (should Be) Concerning the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of "just ice," which our Lord will render to me in that day, a just Judge 1 Timothy 5: 17 (King James Version) "Elders" also in this Bible (should Be) The "priests" that rule will, let them be esteemed worthy of double honor 1 Timothy 5:19 (King James Version) Instead of "priest" they put "elder" (should Be) Against a "priest" receive not accusation Psalm 6:5 (King James Version) In the grave, who shall give thee thanks? (should Be) But in "hell", who shall confess to thee?

The 1611 KJB is the Bible of the Anglican Church and they wrote it under command of King James. Then the Anglican King James outlawed the Geneva Bible and all others. You know what happens if you defy the King, you are stretched racked put in a heated Iron Maiden, etc. The Pilgrims at Plymouth wouldn't touch the Evil King James Bible. The founder of most English Baptists John Smyth an Anglican Priest self Baptized then baptized his followers as he had Observed the Anti Baptists AKA. Penn. Dutch etc. a Yiddish or Hebrew speaking white people who's church and most of the people came out of Africa, yes Ethiopia to be exact as it was a fallen empire that had stretched from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic and they were immigrating due to the colonization of Africa, prior Muslim conquests etc. Remember the age old saying we are a little Dutch but not much. Thomas Jefferson and his two wives were of these people and so was much of America but we've forgotten. We are the people of Judah and the people of Christ's, Yeshua as in Hebrew and his AD 100 Church. We are the people of Hannibal, have you ever wondered why towns were named Carthage etc. The US constitution was Authored By Thomas Jefferson, who had come through Ethiopia and that prior Ethiopian Empire is more like the USA than any other. The Church came from Israel, Judah, Ethiopia then to the world mainly the United States. Our history didn't come all from Europa as the text books tell us. I was in a 1611 KJV church the Anglicans were in the process and at first it was a solid church. Yes I still don't know what it was or became but it wasn't Gods Love any longer the lamp stand had been quenched, and afterwards many times the Preacher and the children would be found out to be LGBTQRST or thieves etc. I'm not an Anglican and many Baptist churches aren't either, but these are.

Everyone is white wow 😅😅😅

Jesus has no knowledge about what people wrote in the bible 😅😅😅

How can anyone hold the King James Bible in their hands and think that’s the work of God. This Bible is King James belief that he wanted. Not Gods words. Buyer beware

I bet they still think the devil is real.
