    EVERY book and every Bible risks publisher's errors. These are NOT intentional, but it is fun to see how these errors "snuck" in and changed entire meanings.

    Different publishers over the years have made over 100 various “editions” and "revisions" of the King James Version. Many have made errors in typeset, etc, and have become “famous” for these errors.

    Of course, we laugh because we do the same thing with our typing, inverting letters or switching words.

    25 PUBLISHERS' ERRORS IN DIFFERENT EDITIONS OF THE KJV</font>
    • “He” Bible = 1611 KJV – “he” is inserted in Ruth</font>
    • “She” Bible = 1611 KJV – “she” is in Ruth to replace “he”</font>
    • “Judas’” Bible = 1611 KJV – the name of the son of God is “Judas” (instead of Jesus)</font>

    • “Forgotten” Bible = 1638 KJV – “thy sins are forgotten” (to adulterous woman, instead of forgiven)</font>

    A KJVO person will probably not even post in this thread, unless it is of course just to prove me wrong. The usually ignore stuff like this :(
