thy mother that thy days may be long upon
the land which the Lord thy God giveth
thee"
The following are examples in which the
actual task of revision is distinctly seen;
Authorized version, Genesis xii, IA: " In
the mount of the Lord it shall be SEEM" re-
vised version. In the mount of the Lord it
shall be provided"
Authorized-Psam xii, b: 81 will set him
in safety from him that puffeth at him" Re-

Authorized-Psalm lxxxvii., Z: GAS well

Revised-"As well the singers as they that
dance say all my fountains are in thee"
Authorized version-Exodus xix 20, "And
it was cloud and & darkness to them, but II
gave light by night to these" Revised
"And there was the cloud and the darkness,
yet gave it light by night"
Authorized-Job xviii, 4, "The flood
that breaketh out from the inhabitants even
the waters forgotten of the foot, they are
dried up, they are gone away from men. "

him that crieth in the wilderness, prepare We
the way of the Lord" Revised-"The voice
of one that crieth, prepare we in the wilder

Psalm H., IL. Kiss the son" remains, and
references to entirely different versions are
given in the margin. Similarly in Genesis
xix, 10, 'until Shiloh came iskept but ''till
he came to Shiloh" is noted as an alternative.
In all these cases, as in many others, there
seems to have been strong minority among
the revisers which held out for the alternative
readings, and succeeded in putting them in the
margin, which contains most of the scholar
ship of the revision.
The first verse in both the authorized and re
vised versions is the same The first alteration
occurs in the second verse, where instead OF
"And the earth was without form and void, u
we read "And the earth was waste and void ~
The text Of the story of the creation is with
out other striking variations. The same may
be said of the description of the fall and the
flood
In the ten commandments are some verbal
alterations, the most striking being that tho
sixth, Thou shalt not kill, " Exodus Xxx, 13)
becomes, "Thou shalt do no murder"
Deuteronomy, Chap xxi, verse 5. "They
have corrupted themselves, their spot is not
the spot of his children" is revised "They
have corrupted themselves, they are not his
children; it is their blemish.
