Two Typos in the Thomas Nelson KJV with Apocrypha 

My full review of this Bible may be viewed here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EM5JoPbFNj0.html .

A whole new "Wicked Bible" for a whole new generation.

Goodness. At best an unfortunate mistyping. That it should happen twice with the same word/words is a notable coincidence.

I think we all know how these errors crept in and thank you for your ever wonderful reviews and to Darrell for his watchful eye. God bless!

I emailed Harper Collins about this. Initially they didn't believe me and asked for photos of the problems and the ISBN. I provided them and got nothing but silence for over a month. I sent another email to push things forward. Today they sent me an email saying that "these changes to the apocrypha were deliberate translation updates and are not a misprint".

Greetings, I called about the errors, however it seems as if they didn't really look into it, I was told that they're NOT TYPOS, BUT VARIATION IN TRANSLATION... if others would call them they'll investigate more and maybe they would correct the errors if they should do a reprinting. Thanks again Grant for your videos.

From Thomas Nelson: "There are no mistranslations or errors in this edition of the Apocrypha. It is a more modern translation done in the 20th century rather than the one that accompanied the 17th century edition with the 1611 KJV. However, we are looking at it again and considering a change to an older edition of the Apocrypha for future publications." That is not cool. They should admit that they messed up when the errors are that bad. They should post a PSA about their translation, discontinue it, reprint it w/o those errors, or do literally anything other than what they did. Source: On Nov 9, 2023, someone left a bad review on this Bible on the KJV Store, citing this. On Nov 11, 2023, KJV Store replied that they contacted Thomas Nelson and received that response.

It is funny how these errors seem to always occur in the deutercanonical books. Thomas Nelson is not the only publisher to have errors there. Another publisher , after they were made aware of many errors, did not even bother to correct them. Funny.

I fully accept that these are typos, but what I find interesting is that the typo in Wisdom 5:14 can actually relate to John 3:8 in a positive context. The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit. John 3:8 The typo in Ecclesiasticus 11:17 can be viewed in a similar light as well in the context of the previous verse: Error and darkness had their beginning together with sinners: and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein. Ecclesiasticus 11:16 The "gift" of the Lord being error and darkness for sinners and waxing old alongside them, which is a juxtaposition to his "favor" which brings prosperity. It's referred to as a "gift" as the sinner walking in their ways, their "gift" continues them onto damnation, while God's "favor" brings true prosperity. This correlates to Psalm 73: 1 Surely God is good to Israel, To those who are pure in heart! 2 But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, My steps had almost slipped. 3 For I was envious of the arrogant As I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 For there are no pains in their death, And their body is fat. 5 They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like mankind. 6 Therefore pride is their necklace; The garment of violence covers them. 7 Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart run riot. Psalm 73

I have the Thomas Nelson king James study Bible (not with the apocrypha). Multiple chapters from the book of Ezekiel are missing. I don’t know if it’s a printing error or what, but now that I found this video I’m starting to wonder. I’m going to reach out to the publisher and give them a chance to make this right.

I’d like to see TN pull this one from the shelves. What a car crash of an edition.

I think a snake has snuck into the house at Thomas Nelson.

This is alarming I spotted one of these before and commented on the original video. Hopefully it was just error and by mistake. Tampering with God's word is definitely a no no. Glad I have older copies to refer back. However for a babe this can bring doubt.

oh no I bought that bible lol. welp time to get correcting!

Seems like they didn't take the time to proof read the text. Didn't even bother to add the 1611 references to the apocrypha. Pure laziness. These editions are disappointments. No excuse for that.

Blessed be the ones with eyes to see

How unfortunate, I absolutely love this Bible as it contained the Apocrypha with 3 Maccabees. I find a bit unsettling considering that another of Thomas Nelson's more recent releases: The Sovereign Collection KJV in Purple, literally has the numbers 666 on the cover.

Love your videos and thanks for bringing attention to these typos. I've been looking for a good 1611 KJV facsimile or reprint, which one are you using in this video? The gothic font is gorgeous.

Nice catch! 👍🏻

I have the anniversary 1611 quasi facsimile, and am looking for a nice edition that I wouldn't be afraid to make minor side notes in. Thinking of the Cameo Reference but the print is small. Is there anything comparable larger either leather or simple trad looking hardcover?

These will get moved to Ollie's soon. Unfortunate circumstance.

I recently got Thomas Nelson's NKJV Word Study Reference Bible and found a misprint where Revelation 22 verses 12, 13, 16, and part of 20 were all missing - the red letter text just wasn't printed on that page. I've seen one review that shows that page ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bwiuhY7QAJ0.html ), but theirs was printed just fine, so I'm not sure how many copies might be affected.

Another connection this typo makes with the New Testament now exists with Ecclesiasticus 11:17 and Matthew 15:5-6: 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Matthew 15:5-6

What manuscripts did the kjva use for the deutercanonicals? Interestingly in brentons Septuagint and hendricksons septeginta remove Ecclessiasticus 11:15 and 11:16. Could depend on the source in many instances. Let us see what other error will be discovered. Hopefully that was all.

Not sure how else to contact you. I’d like to request that you review the New Catholic Bible published by Catholic Book Publishing. It’s not to be confused with the CTS (Catholic Truth Society) New Catholic Bible. The NCB is now probably the most readily available Bible in Catholic stores, due to the distribution power of CBP, yet because it’s relatively new it has received scant attention. But it’s fabulous! imho. Very faithful, occasionally creatively clarifying, and nearly always the most readable of the many reputable English language Bibles I’ve looked over. Please consider doing Catholics a great service by reviewing it.

Why? When will they come out with one with no errors!

Typo in one of the most quoted parts of the Apocrypha? Others say "for" but this says "...far he hath delivered us from hell..." ‭‭The Three Holy Children‬ ‭1‬:‭66‬

Thanks for pointing the errors out! Could you please tell me what is the other version of KJV with apocrypha you are using in video, because I think I changed my mind about buying the Nelson version.

I have an hypothesis: Sâṭân

I was going to get this bible. Which is the bible you were using with the correct scripture?

Very interesting typos. Funny how they both coincide. It's going to make for good material for those believing there is a conspiracy on the loose. But, since they are in those spesific parts, maybe it's a conspiracy to... smuggle univeralist theology into the Bible🤫..or something like that. Nelson did bring it on themselves by having such an unlikely combo of typos. Maybe there is an angry atheist working the printing press🙂

Wow

Have any typos been found in the canonical section? Thinking of buying this as a gift & want to make sure that at least the canon is not corrupted. Love your reviews-they’ve been extremely helpful! God Bless!

Oh dear. What a dreadful pair of typos.

I found that the second typo is only that way in the 1611 version you are looking at, every other version of Ecclesiasticus has "ungodly". That first one is definitely a good find. Thank you for your diligence.

Has anybody brought this to the attention of Thomas Nelson publishers so they can correct it?

Will it be fair to say that NRSV more accurate than RSV? And if one has to read a classical Bible translation then why not read KJV (greatest book of English language), as RSV has been replaced by NRSV? Does it makes sense to read RSV now, or is it defunct like RV and ASV?

Is it true that Thomas Nelson knowingly changes words in their bible such as throughly and thoroughly in Genesis 11:3?

Uff da!

These are quite profound typos.

Revelation 12:18 (13:1)

Have these been corrected yet?

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.". :)

🎯"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."Jésus-ChrisT i.e. GOD i.e. Adonaï{Authorized Holy King James 1611}🎯

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 .

Good thing the typos are not in the Word of God.

Probably just mistakes. The king james version was great for it's time, but even the latin vulgate is more accurate.
