ESV Update

The 2007 English Standard Version Update is now out.

Among the ground shaking changes: :laugh:

Gen 2:19
So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
2001 ESV

Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
2007 ESV


Rippon should like this one.

Gen 37:22
And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood; cast him into this pit here in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him”—that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father.
2001 ESV

There are a few interesting changes

I'll point out one of them here.

Psalm 19:4

Their measuring line goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,

Their voice (noted in the Syriac version) goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,

The difference between the original Hebrew words is slight.

Whose voice = Hebrew - קוֹלָם
Their measuring line = Hebrew - קַוָּם

The witnesses mostly seem to point toward “measuring line” don’t they?

But there is a trump card.
Paul quotes from the psalm in Romans 10:18:

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
AV 1873
