Authorized Version

Dr. Lightfoot vindicates 'the necessity for a fresh revision of the authorized version.'

The authorized version is faulty in its translation; it is not, "he made his arrows bright," but "he shook his arrows to and fro."

The three words translated in the authorized version by altar are not the same in the original.

The authorized version supplies the word "reeds," which seems to be correct in view of the statement in chapter xlii:16.

In other passages the words used in our Authorized Version, "deep" or "depths," give the correct signification.
