I was wondering...I see "1611" version here at the top of the page...is this Bible as good as KJV ? why are there extra books and what do you all think of this version ? ..also why was the book of Enoch taken out of the Bible ? ..and is the Hebrew bible truth ?.. I have no knowledge on these subjects...at all.
You also can use the Parallel view it's on the left side of the text to look at the 1611 version (old English) and the 1769 version. love is spelled luv etc. save suv
If you click on the icon MORE there is introductions to the KJV 1611 and 1769 both are KJV one is earlier, but the actual translators explain the process they used to determine which books were to be included and excluded and why. They are lengthy and very detailed (17pg) and give you incite into that period of time in Christian history. Everyone who has doubts or issues with the authenticity or accuracy of the KJV Bible must read this. Listen to me the other 900+ versions of the bible cannot come close in comparison and the Indepth use of transcripts (27) research, and diligence in prayer by more renown men of God. The other versions are to me like as a #1 hit song sung at karaoke
I have been reading up on the history of the Apocrypha.
One site gave a good timeline for the writings and translations of books included in the Bible over the centuries going back to the time of Moses (1400 B.C.)
In this timeline it said that the Apochryphal books were included in the Septuagint which translated in 200 or so B.C. the Mosaic texts of the OT from Hebrew to Greek because, since the conquering by Alexander the Great, Greek became the common language and Hebrew fell out of use so the Jews could no longer read or understand it. This translation is the one used by Jews, Jesus, his disciples, and early Christians. It contained the Apochryphal books.
In 467 A.D. Athanasian led the canonization of the 27 books of the New Testament, which has remained so up to our current day.
In 367 A.D. Jerome translated the Septuagint and New Testament books from Greek to Latin. This translation was called the Vulgate and was used by most churches up to the Reformation. It contained the Apochryphal books. In 1384 Wycliffe translated the Vulgate into English in a handwritten copy. It included the Apochryphal books.
In 1455A.D. Gutenberg invented the printing press and the first book printed en masse was the Gutenberg Bible in Latin. It included the Apochrypal books.
In 1522, Martin Luther translated the Bible from Latin to German with the Apochryphal.
In 1526 A.D. Tyndall-Matthews translated the New Testament in English.
In 1535, Myles Coverdale translated the first complete Bible in English with Apochryphal.
In 1539, the Great Bible was printed, being the first English Bible Authorized for the public to use. It included the Apochryphal books. Now English speaking people could have their own personal Bible!
In 156? The Geneva Bible was printed and it added verse numbers to the chapters in the Bible. It included the Apochryphal.
N 1586 the Bishop's Bible was printed from which the King James Version was a revision. It had the Aprochypha.
It is my understanding that the Apocrypha was included in Bible Translations up to about 1500-1600 or so. After that time Protestant translators began to drop thes books from their publications. I have been aware of the Apochryphal books for most of my life. I have not studied them though.
Hi Catherine Gordon, the council of nicaea studied the scriptures and thought that certain books did not belong. If you choose to keep read and study them, that is totally up to you.
If you do Web search (king-james-bible-most-popular ) or type that information
There's an interesting article that explained even it's impact on culture & USA when Colonized.
I've seen in one article that the printing was reduced to save costs.
Saur a German American also produced a Bible USA 1743-1776, including half of the Apocrypha [gruber] amazing German & England/Ireland influence include Apocrypha in early English translations. I'm very interested in this too because it's only been a few years that I have even been aware these books were seemingly removed from our Bible translations. This site has many books in the Apocrypha that point to Jesus as Messiah & strengthen faith. Give wisdom Ecclesiasticus
I trust the HOLY Spirit will give us Wisdom & teach us, James 1:5, John 14:26,
In 1609 the Duay-Rheims Bible was printed in English with Apochryphal, becoming the first Official Catholic bible in English.
In 1611, The King James Bible was authorized with Apochryphal.
In 1782, the Robert Aitkins Bible prints with Apochryphal . First Bible printed in America.
In 1846 The Illuminated Bible printed in America with Apochryphal. It was very elaborately illustrated.
It wasn't until after the mid-1800's that Bible translations dropped the Apochryphal books from Protestant Bibles.
So this is a good timeline to briefly show the Bible's translation and printing history.
I am not promoting having the Apochrypha in Bible's, just giving a historical perspective.
Hope this helps.

So I really cannot speak to their content much.
HOWEVER none of those books were NOT
canonized into the KJV Bible.
