KJV - Strengths
•Beauty and Poetry–Elizabethan / Shakespearean style of language
![Page 9: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

KJV - Strengths
•Accuracy–KJV – Dynamic Equivalence
•Attempts to convey the thought expressed in a source text
•Does not give the most literal translation, but allows translators to work with speech patterns of the current time
![Page 10: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

KJV - Weaknesses
•Paraphrase–The use of paraphrase is a simple fact of translation
–However the abuse of paraphrase must be avoided
![Page 12: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
KJV - Weaknesses
•Paraphrase–“Let the king live”
•“God save the king”•1 Samuel 10:24
![Page 13: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

1 Samuel 10:24
“And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is
none like him among all the people? And all the people
shouted, and said, God save the king.”
![Page 14: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

2 Samuel 16:16
“And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's
friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto
Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.”
![Page 15: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
KJV - Weaknesses
•Paraphrase–“Then Abraham gave up the ghost …”•Genesis 25:8•A liberal paraphrase of a verb which simply means “to breathe out; die, expire”
![Page 16: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
KJV - Inaccuracies
•Psalm 8:5“thou hast made him a little lower
than the angels …”–“elohim” which means “God, gods”–Correctly translated in Psalm 138:1
“I will praise thee with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing
praise unto thee.”
![Page 17: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
KJV - Inaccuracies
•Genesis 12:19“Why saidst thou, She is my
sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now
therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.”
![Page 18: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
KJV - Inaccuracies
•Genesis 12:19“Why saidst thou, She is my
sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: …”–Hebrew text actually reads “I took her”
–Change the tense – change the meaning
![Page 19: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

the sight of God speak we in Christ.”
–“kapeleuo” – “huckster, peddler; to make a trade of: - peddling
![Page 20: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

21
KJV - Inaccuracies
•“agape” is used over 300 times in the New Testament–KJV renders it “love” in most cases
–However, renders it “charity” in 26 different locations
![Page 22: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Archaeology & the KJV
•Almost 400 years since 1611–Many important discoveries made
–More information available now than they had available to them
![Page 24: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Archaeology & the KJV
•Joshua 11:13“But as for the cities that stood
still in their strength, Israel burned none of them…”
–Hebrew speaks of cities “standing on their mounds”•ASV, NASB-U & NKJV translate it correctly
![Page 25: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Archaeology & the KJV
•1 Kings 10:28“And Solomon had horses brought out
of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a
price.”

26
Archaeology & the KJV
•1 Kings 10:28•Hebrew - “Kue” is translated “linen yarn”
•“Kue” was actually a location in Cilicia where Solomon purchased his horses
![Page 27: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

28
Archaeology & the KJV
•1 Kings 16:33“And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the
Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that
were before him.”
![Page 29: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Archaeology & the KJV
•1 Kings 16:33“And Ahab made a grove;…”–What’s wrong with that?–Original word “Asherah”, a Phoenician goddess common in Canaan
–Truthfully, he made an idol
![Page 30: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Archaeology & the KJV
•In 17th century England, it was normal to light a “candle” and place it on a “candlestick”–In 1st century Palestine, oil lamps were used and placed on lampstands
![Page 31: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Archaeology & the KJV

34
Lack of Uniformity in KJV
•Unnecessary confusion is created in a translation when a name or place is spelled in more than one way
![Page 35: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Lack of Uniformity in KJV
•Note just a few examples:–Sheth – Seth–Agar – Hagar–Jeremiah – Jeremias – Jeremie–Jonah – Jona – Jonas–Isaiah – Esaias – Esay–Hosea – Osee
![Page 36: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Lack of Uniformity in KJV
•Most versions simplify the matter by adopting one form of a name or place and using it consistently throughout.
•Admittedly, some Greek and Hebrew words can have different shades of meaning and should be reflected in the translation.
![Page 37: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Lack of Uniformity in KJV
•Variety for the sake of variety can lead to confusion–“dabhar” – rendered by 84 different English words in the KJV
–“katargeo” appears 27 times in the NT and in the KJV is rendered by 17 different English words.
![Page 38: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Lack of Uniformity in KJV
•“logizomai” is translated by three different words in one chapter–Romans 4:3, 9, 22-23
![Page 39: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

40
Romans 4:9
“Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also?
for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for
righteousness.”
![Page 41: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Romans 4:22-23
“And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was
imputed to him;”
![Page 42: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Lack of Uniformity in KJV
•“logizomai” is translated by three different words in one chapter–Romans 4:3, 9, 22-23–ASV – “reckoned” in all four instances
–NASB-U – “credited” in all four–NKJV – “accounted” for three, but keeps “imputed” for the last
![Page 43: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

51
“Understandest thou what
thou readest?”•Some words from 17th century are still in use, but their meaning has changed dramatically–These words in the KJV can become “hidden rocks on which the ship of understanding runs aground” (Dr. Jack P. Lewis

Doctrinal Problems in the KJV
•Many claim the KJV is “totally free” from any doctrinal problems–Unfortunately this is not true of any translation
![Page 63: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
Doctrinal Problems in the KJV
•Unwillingness to properly translate “baptizo”–Means – “to immerse; to make whelmed; i.e. fully wet; to dip; sink”
–Instead they transliterated it, and left it at baptism so the various false teachings of sprinkling and pouring could remain
![Page 64: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Calvinistic Verses
•Acts 2:47“Praising God, and having
favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church
daily such as should be saved.”
![Page 65: The King James Version](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56813ffd550346895dab2ca2/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
Calvinistic Verses
