    As many of you know, there are a few differences between the Oxford edition of the KJV and the Cambridge edition of the KJV. I will use the Oxford edition in the Scofield Reference Bible and compare it to a present-day KJV published by Cambridge University Press in Great Britain and
    identified as a "standard text edition."

    Oxford [O] Cambridge [C]

    Josh. 19:2 and Sheba [O] or Sheba [C]
    2 Kings 19:23 the Lord [O] the LORD [C]
    2 Chron. 33:19 sins [O] sin [C]
    Neh. 1:11 O Lord [O] O LORD [C}
    Ps. 148:8 vapours [O] vapour [C]
    Jer. 34:16 whom he [O] whom ye [C]
    Nah. 3:16 fleeth [O] flieth [C]

    Another difference is in the use of the apostrophe. Oxford has an apostrophe in some
    words "their's" (Matt. 5:3), "your's" (Luke 6:20)
    while the Cambridge does not.

    Some spelling differences including the following: [Oxford spelling listed first]
