ter than ali ancient versions and is only surpassed by
one n the German versions Even the best trans
latien perfect any version hope to equal
the original Inspirations. An essential for
version OF the Bible Ia the progress OF our language
since the time Of King James. Many OF the words IN
common then and employed by the transators have
changed since TO mislead the ordinary reader
other words have become obsolete The division into
chapters not In the form OF the original In the first
chapter Of Genesis the improperly may be seen In the
fact the first three OF the second chapter
properly a part Of the first. Equal objection may be
brought against the verscuar division which fire.
auently occasions the habit Of taking single clause
al from tho regular meaning The italics also
often misleading and sometimes meaningless and unneo-
essary while poetry and prose In the Bible is improperly
presented In the same form.
.. The translatons Of the version OF the Bible
have the advantage OF all the advances made ia biblical
study during two centures the Greek Latin and Syrac
versions OF the Scriptures, which unknown to tho
King James translator, and the general development OF
pathological study. new version Is required not

placed ON par far as possible with the scholars
