an actual 1769 KJV

In 1766 the 13 American colonies declared themselves independent of Great Britain and their crown. Part of the protest was over the burdensome Bible Tax. Yep, the King (or Queen) of England got money for ever Bible sold. In 1762 the Oxford Edition (KJV1762) came out - Bible tax. In 1769 the Cambridge Edition came out - Bible tax. What brave soul will up and print their own AMERICAN patriotic Bible Edition? Strangely, that information is hard to find. I'm still looking for it.

Unfortunately in the mid 1910s England was at war with Germany and started trying to convince the USofA that the Americans and England was, and always had been, good buds. So England started a propaganda jig: convince the USofA that they were friends of England. I think there was an Anglo-American plot against Germany that included suppressing the information: In 1776-1883 it was TREASON in the USofA to sell a King's Bible. We in the USofA have no King but Jesus and will not bow to any other king, especially an English King.

My 1769 edition reads exactly like this, except for spelling corrections, and one word corrected WIFE=WISE.
But otherwise it is the same, so what is the point.

If one egg is brown, and the other is white, does that make the egg different.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

Psalm 42:1 (KJV
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God. [/FONT]

Psalm 42:1 (HCSB = Christian Standard Bible /Holman, 2003/
As a deer longs for streams of water,[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]so I long for You, God. [/FONT]

The white 'hart' and the brown 'deer',
the white 'longs for' and the brown 'panteth'.

'panteth' is not in my dictionary 'longs for' is

 

"Once again - [Sigh!]!! 'Thefs are not -- :BangHead:

mif-fpellings, at all. [Bang head, again! "Ouch!"]

Thefe are ivst the attempt of the pofter -- [Third time, Bang head against brick wall! "Double 'Ouch!'"]

to reprodvce the ftyle of the lettering of that time. :BangHead: (A picture is still worth a thousand words!)

The problem(s) you seem to keep hauing (having) here, are therefore thefe:

(#1.) that the compvters the majority of vs have access to, inclvding me, do not haue the capacity to reprodvce the long "s", and an "f" is the clofeft (closest) character we can employ for this pvrpose, although I generally use a different font, namely one of these : ("f"), or ("f") for that character.

(#2.) there was no difference made between "i" and "j", hence "Iesus" or sometimes "Iesvs" (Jesus), "Iofhua" (Joshua), and "ivst" (just) for three examples.

(#3. ) The "v" and "u" symbols were generally reuerfed (reversed), from what we vse (use) today,

although this was already somewhat underway, at that time. Have you ever wondered why we

identify the letter "W" as "Double you" and not as "Double Vee"?

The reafon (reason) we do so, is that in the early Modern Englifh era, the character "v" was pronounced as "you", and generally carried that sound, the sound of "uh" and also "ooH", although this was not absolute, by the 17th and 18th centuries.
The "u" usually carried the sound of "vee" or sometimes "ye", again, as well as the 'long' "u", as in "use" (use) while the "v" character expressed the 'short" "u", hence "vp" (up). although this was not absolute, and in fact, at times they were vsed (used) interchangeably, and by the middle of the 18th century, one can likely find examples of this in the same sentence. :BangHead:

But these are not misspellings, at all. There are certainly plenty of typos in the 1611 early editions of the KJV. However, most of these were soon corrected, and the difference you observe in spelling today were consistent with spelling, at that time, such as "sonne" (1611) for "son" 2009), But neither are incorrect, spellings, although were one to spell "son" for the star the earth orbits around, that is incorrect, for that giant 'blazing' orb is the "sun" (2009), or "sunne" (1611), never the "son"!

The only reason I can think of that I keep on :BangHead: ("Ouch!") must be because it feels so good when I stop!!'"

Old but Good news:

Mt. Sinai takes a Break:

Exodus 19:18 (KLJV1611 Edition):
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended vpon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

 

Well we have to give credit, where credit is due. Look how the English spelled the River Timms, Thames, now that does not spell Timms to me?.

So in 1611, they liked to spell in puzzles, but later corrections do not make the translation any different. In fact my 1769 could still use some, there are still many funny words in it.

As far as typos, who knows? somewhere around 1700 or so, a version was printed that was so full of type set corruptions, they had to destroy hundreds of copies.

I like this one better :tonofbricks: =

 

I have to agree. I don't know why there is such an issue over the now defunct long 's'

 

I picked up a 1732 Baskett OT on Ebay a while back ($50 + shipping).
It needs to be rebound but I have the original boards and the pages are tight and in very good condition.
I have no idea where you'd find a 1769 edition.
