The PICTORIAL BIBLE being the Old and New Testaments:

According to the Authorised version. ... By John Kitto D.D. f.S.A.  A New Edition. ... in four Volumes
London: W. and Chambers 47 Paternoster Row

THE Authorised Version of the SACRED SCKIPTOEES, translated from the Original tongues, and first printed in 1611, by order of JAMES I., has, as is well known, been frequently issued with doctnnal and other expositions, according to the views of different denominations of Christians.

The present work, comprising the entire Authorised Version of the BIBLE, was issued some years ago on a plan more generally acceptable than had hitherto been attempted. Abstaining in a great measure from such doctrinal exposition as was already provided for in the Commentaries of HENRY, CLAKKE, SCOTT, and others, it aimed at laying before the general as well as the scholar, an Annotated Edition of the BiBLE-designed for no particular denomination, but for ALL. The Notes, copiously interspersed, were fumisned by the late lamented Dr JOHN KIITO; and besides illustrating the History Geography, Zoology, Botany, Ethnography, and miscellaneous subjects of interest referred to in HOLY WRIT, presented such critical remarks as tended to develop the meaning of the SACRED WRITERS. Illustration through the agency of Pictonal Art was at the same time afforded in a style which may safely be-said to have had no precedent, for besides the mere fancy designs of the Ancient Masters, there were here veritable representations of an immense variety of objects. Scenic or Local, Histoncal or Antiquarian, and connected with Zoology and Botany, such as had but httle attention in previous editions of the BIBLE.

Wiith these recommendations, it may be said that no Annotated or Illustrated Edition of the SACRED SCRIPTURES ever attained such universal popularity-ever was so acceptable to the hearts and the homes of the People of this Country.

The copyright and stereotype plates of the work having passed into the hands of the present Publishers, it became with them a matter of consideration how they might best sustain its high character. The course they ultimately determmed on, was governed in some measure by the fact of the decayed health of the onginal Editor. They deemed it best to leave his Notes in their integrity, and merely to add, in an Appendix to each volume, such others as were called for in consequence of the researches of LAYARD, LEPSIUIS, and other travellers and investigators in the Lands of the BIBLE.

They at the same time gave such directions as have insured a high degree of excellence i the Typography - the impressions of the Wood-engravings, in particular, being executed with a delicacy which may well challenge a preference for this Edition over any that have gone before it.

The New Testament in Basic English : A New Translation
Cambridge: University Press in association with Evans Brothers ltd.
p. 461 –  cm   

NOTE
The form in which the New Testament is given here is not simply another example of the Bible story put into present-day English. The language used is Basic English.¹
Basic English, produced by Mr C. K. Ogden of the Orthological Institute, is a simple form of the English language which, with 850² words, is able to give the sense of anything which may be said in English.

Working with the Orthological Institute, a Committee under the direction of Prof. S. H. Hooke, Samuel Davidson Professor in the University of London, has been responsible for a new English form of the Bible based on the Hebrew and the Greek.

In this undertaking, the latest ideas and discoveries in connection with the work of putting the Bible into other languages were taken into account, and when the Basic form was complete it was gone over in detail by a Committee formed by the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press.

The Basic New Testament, which in this way was watched over by two separate groups of experts through its different stages, is designed to be used wherever the English language has taken root.

Frequently, the narrow limits of the word-list make it hard to keep the Basic completely parallel with the Greek; but great trouble has been taken with every verse and every line to make certain that there are no errors of sense and no loose wording. It is only natural that, from time to time, some of the more delicate shades of sense have not been covered; on the other hand, it is well to keep in mind that in the Authorised Version the power and music of the language sometimes take so much of the reader's attention that these more delicate shades are overlooked.

In fact, the Basic expert is forced, because of the limited material with which he is working, to give special care to the sense of the words before him. There is no question of the Basic work taking the place of the Authorised Version or of coming into competition with it; but it may be said of this new English Bible that it is in a marked degree straightforward and simple and that these qualities give it an independent value.

¹ The language of this Note.
² By the addition of 50 Special Bible words and the use ot 100 words listed as giving most help in the reading of English verse, this number has been increased to 1000 for the purpose of putting the Bible into Basic.

PREFACE

The Revised Standard Version of the New Testament is an authorized revision of the American Standard Version, published in 1901, which was a revision of the King
James Version, published in 1611.
The King James Version was itself a revision rather than a new translation. The first English version of the New Testament made by translation from the Greek was that of William Tyndale, 1525; and this became the foundation for successive versions, notably those of Coverdale, 1535; the Great Bible, 1539; Geneva, 1560; and the Bishop's Bible, 1568. In 1582 a translation of the New Testament, made from the Latin Vulgate by Roman Catholic scholars, was published at Rheims. The translators of the King James Version took into account all of these preceding versions; and comparison shows that it owes something to each of them. It kept felicitous turns of phrase and apt expressions, from whatever source, which had stood the test of public usage.
As a result of the discovery of manuscripts of the New Testament more ancient than those used by the translators in 1611, together with a marked development in Biblical studies, a demand for revision of the King James Bible arose in the middle of the nineteenth century. In 1870 the Convocation of Canterbury authorized a revision, and organized a committee of British scholars to undertake it. With this committee was associated by correspondence a committee of American scholars organized a year later. In 1881 the English Revised Version of the New Testament was published, with an appendix containing recommendations of the American Committee which had not been approved by the British Committee. In 1901, at the expiration of an agreed period, the American Standard Version was published, embodying these recommendations and printing in an appendix the British readings which they replaced.

The American Standard Version was copyrighted to protect the text from unauthorized changes; and in 1928 Thomas Nelson and Sons, its publishers, transferred the copyright to the International Council of Religious Education, in which the educational boards of forty of the major Protestant denominations of the United States and Canada are associated. This body appointed a committee of scholars to have charge of the text, and authorized it to undertake further revision if deemed necessary. The charter of the Committee contains the provision that "all changes in the text shall be agreed upon by a two-thirds vote of the total membership of the Committee"—a more conservative rule than that which had governed revision hitherto, which required only a twothirds vote of members present.

In 1937 a comprehensive revision of the American Standard Version of the Bible was authorized by vote of the Council. Conversations with British scholars looked toward corre spondence with a similar committee to be organized in Great Britain; but this proved to be impracticable during the years of war.

The Committee has worked in two Sections, one dealing with the Old Testament and one with the New Testament. As with former revisions, the work upon the New Testament has been completed first; and the revision of the Old Testament will take about four years more. All changes in the translation of the New Testament have been submitted to the entire Committee, and in a few cases a majority vote in the Section has been reversed by failure to receive the support of two-thirds of the members of the Committee.

This preface does not undertake to set forth the lines along which the revision has proceeded. That is done in a small book entitled An Introduction to the Revised Standard Version of the New Testament, written by the members of the New Testament Section, and designed to help the general public to understand the main principles which have guided this com prehensive revision of the King James and American Standard Versions.

Let it be said here simply that all of the reasons which led to the demand for revision of the King James Version one hundred years ago are still valid, and are even more cogent now than then. And we cannot be content with the Versions of 1881 and 1901 for two main reasons. One is that these are mechanically exact, literal, word-for-word translations, which follow the order of the Greek words, so far as this is possible, rather than the order which is natural to English; they are more accurate than the King James Version, but have lost some of its beauty and power as English literature. The second reason is that the discovery of a few more ancient manuscripts of the New Testament and of a great body of Greek papyri dealing with the everyday affairs of life in the early centuries of the Christian era, has furnished scholars with new resources, both for seeking to recover the original text of the Greek New Testament and for understanding its language.

In the Bible we have not merely an historical document and a classic of English literature, but the Word of God. The Bible carries its full message, not to those who regard it simply as a heritage of the past or praise its literary style, but to those who read it that they may discern and understand God's Word to men. And men need the Word of God in our time and hereafter as never before. That Word must not be disguised in phrases that are no longer clear, or hidden under words that have changed or lost their meaning. It must stand forth in language that is direct and plain and meaningful to people today. It is our hope and our earnest prayer that this Revised Standard Version of the New Testament may be used by God to speak to men in these momentous times, and to help them to understand and believe and obey His Word.

Foreword

PREFACE

"Inspired by the Divine Spirit, the Sacred Writers composed these books which God, in His paternal charity toward the human race, deigned to bestow on them 'for teaching, for reproving, for correcting, for instructing in justice; that the man of God may beperfect, equipped for every good work' (2 Tm 3, 16f). This heaven-sent treasure Holy Church considers as the most precious source of doctrine on faith and morals. No wonder therefore that, as she received it intact from the hands of the Apostles, she has kept it with all care, defended it from every false and perverse interpretation, and used it diligently as an instrument for securing the eternal salvation of souls" (Pope Pius XII, encyclical letter Divino afflante Sptritu, September 30, 1943).

In conformity with the spirit of this encyclical of Pope Pius XII, and with the encouragement of His Excellency the Apostolic Delegate to the United States, the Episcopal Committee of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine requested members of the Catholic Biblical Association of America to translate the Sacred Scriptures from the original languages or from the oldest extant form of the text, and to present the sense of the Biblical text in as correct a form as possible.

The first printed English Catholic version of the Bible, the Douay-Rheims version, and its revision by Bishop Challoner were based on the Latin Vulgate.- Today, however, when the science of textual criticism has attained great perfection, it is desirable that a new English version of the Sacred Books be prepared, combining due reverence for the text with strict observance of the rules of criticism.

The use of the original texts as the basis of a new translation does not derogate from the decree of the Council of Trent concerning the Latin Vulgate. The Council does not forbid "translations into the vernacular tongue even directly from the original texts themselves, for the use and benefit of the faithful and for the better understanding of the divine word, as We know to have been already done in a laudable manner in many countries with the approval of the Ecclesiastical authority" (Divino afflante Spiritu).

The text of the eight books (Genesis to Ruth) contained in this volume is but the first part of a completely new translation of the Bible. This translation is based on the original and oldest texts of the Sacred Books. It gives the translators opportunity to convey directly the thought and individual style of the inspired writers. A better understanding of Hebrew and of the science of textual criticism, which has been the fruit of earnest and patient study since the time of St. Jerome, can now be reflected in the translation itself. The translators and editors intend to draw constantly on all material available to obtain in every instance a translation which represents, as far as possible, what the Sacred Author actually wrote.

In most matters pertaining to format and manner of presentation this new translation will follow the pattern set by the Confraternity revision of the New Testament. In only one respect do circumstances require an addition. Where the translation supposes the received text (Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek, as the case may be), which is ordinarily contained in the best-known editions, as the original or the oldest extant form, no additional remarks are necessary. But for the benefit of those who are happily able to study the original text of the Scriptures at first hand, a supplementary series of Textual Notes has been added in an appendix. These furnish a guide in all cases in which the editorial board has judged that either manuscripts in the original language, or the evidence of the ancient versions, or some similar source, furnish the correc reading of a passage, or at least a form more true to the original than that customarily printed in the available editions. As regards the matter of English style, it will be seen that the deliberate compromise with earlier usage frequently retained in Bible translations has here been given up.

The work of translating the Bible has been characterized as "the sacred and apostolic work of interpreting the word of God and of presenting it to the laity in translations as clear as the difficulty of the matter and the limitations of human knowledge Permit" (His Excellency A. G. Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate, in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 6, 1944, 389f). In the appraise ing of the present work, it is hoped that the words of the encyclical Divino afflante Spiritu will serve as a guide: "Let all the sons of the Church bear in mind that the efforts of these resolute laborers in the vineyard of the Lord should be judged not only with equity and justice, but also with the greatest charity; all moreover should abhor that intemperate zeal which imagines that whatever is new should for that very reason be opposed or suspected."

Conscious of their personal limitations for the task thus defined those who have prepared this text cannot hope that it will be perfect, but only that it may deepen in its readers the right understanding of the divinely given Scriptures," and awaken in them "that piety by which it behooves us to be grateful to the God of all providence, who from the throne of His majesty has sent these books as so many personal letters to His own children (Divino afflante Spiritu). 

LORD,

siehe auch Exodus 3,14 f.:

¹⁴ Then he added, "This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I Am sent me to you."

¹⁵ God spoke further to Moses, "Thus shall you say to the Israelites: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.

 "This is my name forever;

this is my titel for all generations.

3, 14: I am who am: apparently this utterance is the source of the word Yahweh, the proper personal name of the God of Israel. It is commonly explained in reference to God as the absolute and necessary Being. It may be understood of God as the Source of all created beings. Out of reverence for this name, the term Adonai, "my Lord," was later used as a substitute. The word LORD in the present version represents this traditional usage. The word "Jehovah" arose from a false reading of this name as it is written in the current Hebrew text.

PREFACE

Exactly ten years have passed since the Hierarchy of England and Wales authorized the public use of Monsignor Knox's translation of the New Testament. Subsequently, at my request, he published in two volumes his translation of the Old Testament. Since then, certain verbal revisions have been made and now the Hierarchy has authorized for public use Monsignor Knox's translation of the entire Bible. To that authorization the Bishops add, on behalf of the Catholics of this country, their warm commendation and deep gratitude for this splendid work of scholarship and devotion.

The Knox translation has passed rapidly into common usage and has already on world-wide acclaim. Indeed, one may apply to the translator the words of Dr Worthington who, in his preface to the Douay version of 1609, described Gregory Martin and his collaborators as 'well-known to the world, to have been excellent in the tongues, sincere men and great Divines'. High commendation has been given to Monsignor Knox's translation for its freshness of approach, for its lively language and for the ease with which it may be read. Its style has succeeded in giving meaning to passages which in earlier versions have been difficult to understand.
However, it is not for the study of literary style that we read the Bible. This monumental task of translation has been carried through in order to give us a greater knowledge and understanding of inspired Sacred Scripture. We read the Bible in order to increase our knowledge and love of God. St Jerome tells us that 'to be ignorant of Scripture is not to know Christ'. Although Bible reading is not necessary for salvation the Church treasures the Bible as the inspired word of God and with the help of grace we seek its full meaning and apply its message to ourselves.

Whilst there is great need for scientific study of the Scriptures—and we welcome the abundant evidence of such scholarship in this country in recent times— Bible reading is not to be regarded as the prerogative of specialists. For all, the Bible is a rich source of meditation, the ideal spiritual reading. Pope St Pius X tells us that the fruit of scriptural study is threefold: spiritual delight, love of Christ and zeal for His cause. Herein we recognize at once a means by which we may try to fulfil the very purpose of our existence—'to know, love and serve God'.

At the present time when we are confronted with materialist influences and there is such widespread indinerentism, our Catholic people have great need of a profound spirituality based upon knowledge and love of God. The lay apostle is helpless unless he be formed spiritually and doctrinally. Prayer and the sacra ments are his strength, the Bible his armour. Indeed, a knowledge of Holy Scripture, bringing meaning to what may otherwise seem empty phrases, is a valuable element in his participation in the Church's liturgy.

It is of the utmost importance that the Bible be looked upon as a whole, not as a mere concatenation of texts. The New Testament, telling us the story of the life of Christ, has an immediate appeal. But the Old Testament must not be neglected and its study will prove rewarding even in regard to the conduct of our daily life. We would see a Bible in every home, a Bible which is read regularly and which has a real bearing upon the life of those who use it. Its very production should be as worthy as possible of the sublime material it contains; easy to read and a joy to handle. It is to meet this need that Monsignor Knox's translation is now presented in one volume and I trust that this version, which has already made so great a contribution to the life of our people, will succeed in giving increasing numbers a greater understanding of the inspired message it bears.

 PREFACE

In May 1946 the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland received an overture from the Presbytery of Stirling and Dunblane recommending that a translation of the Bible be made in the language of the present day. As a result of this, delegates of the Church of England, the Church of Scotland, and the Methodist, Baptist, and Congregationalist Churches met in conference in October. They recommended that the work should be undertaken, and that a completely new translation should be made, rather than a revision, once previously contemplated, of any earlier version. In January 1947 a second conference, held like the first in the Central Hall, Westminster, included representatives of the University Presses of Oxford and Cambridge. At the request of this conference, the Churches named above appointed representatives to form the Joint Committee on the New Translation of the Bible. This Committee met for the first time in July of the same year. By January 1948, when its third meeting was held, invitations to be represented had been sent to the Presbyterian Church of England, the Society of Friends, the Churches in Wales, the Churches in Ireland, the British and Foreign Bible Society, and the National Bible Society of Scotland: these invitations were accepted.

The Bishop of Truro (Dr. J. W. Hunkin) acted as Chairman from the beginning. He gave most valuable service until his death in 1950, when the Bishop of Durham (Dr. A. T. P. Williams, later Bishop of Winchester) was elected to succeed him. The Reverend Dr. G. S. Hendry and the Reverend Professor J. K. S. Reid, both of the Church of Scotland, have successively held the office of Secretary, to the Committee's great advantage.

The actual work of translation was entrusted by the Committee to four panels dealing respectively with the Old Testament, the Apocrypha, the New Testament, and the literary revision of the whole. Denominational considerations played no part in the appointment to membership of these panels.

Since January 1948 the Joint Committee has met regularly twice a year in the Jerusalem Chamber, Westminster Abbey, with four exceptions during 1954-1955 when the Langham Room in the precincts of the Abbey was kindly made available. At these meetings the Committee has received reports on the progress of the work from the Conveners of the four panels, and its members have had in their hands typescripts of the books so far translated and revised. They have made such comments and given such advice or decisions as they judged to be necessary, and from time to time they have met members of the panels in conference. The Committee has warmly appreciated the courteous hospitality of the Dean of Westminster and of the Trustees of the Central Hall.

Work upon the Old Testament and the Apocrypha is actively going forward. Much has been done: much remains to do. At a later time, when the whole translation has been completed, further and more particular acknowledgements will doubtless be made. But this brief preface to the trans lation of the New Testament must not end without an expression of the Joint Committee's thanks to all those who have given their time and knowledge to a task both long and difficult. We owe a great debt to the support and the experienced counsel of the University Presses of Oxford and Cambridge, and we acknowledge our obligation, an obligation impossible to exaggerate, to the Reverend Dr. C H. Dodd who, as Director of our enterprise, has devoted to it in full measure his scholarship, his patience, and his wisdom.

TO THE READER
You will find a new line of illustration in this Bible. Instead of the usual type of story-picture there are simple little drawings that look more like up-to-date visual aids than illustrations. That is indeed what they are; and they have been fitted into the text just at the place where help is needed.

There are, for example, many little route-maps. The Bible is a great Travel Book, and where so many journeys are made a map is essential. But a general map is often more difficult to read than a page of type. What is wanted for easy reference is a simplified map, or many such maps, each showing only the places mentioned in the text, and if possible also the route taken by the person concerned. To know the distance between the different places would be an advantage. In some cases it adds to the point of the story. So, along with the maps, drawings of milestones have been inserted to give this information.

It is no less important to know when the events about which one is reading took place. A simple artistic design has therefore been devised to show the date. But the use of this Time-signal, as we may call it, has had to be limited to marking the centuries rather than the years. Precise dates could have been given for some of the events, but for many others the specific year has not yet been determined, though scholars have reduced uncertainty to the difference of a few years. There is, however, little doubt about the century to which the great events belong. So we have kept to these broad spans of time. For, although it is often impossible to give the exact date, there is, we feel, some advantage in having at least an indication of the period about which one is reading; and this applies particularly to pans of the Old Testament, where the material does not always run in historical sequence.

When the scene is set in time and place interest is naturally focused on the people who appear in the story. What a strangely mixed company! They crowd in from all sides, people of many nations, who come and go and keep reappearing until the mind is bewildered by thenvariety and movements. Who are they? How can they be distinguished?

By giving each nation an appropriate symbol—a sort of badge or identity flash—so that, when the reader sees it, he knows at once whether it is the Egyptians, the Philistines, the Syrians, or Babylonians who have stepped into the picture.

So much for the foreign nations of the Bible. But what of Israel and Judah, whose complicated fortunes are interlocked in history, and so interwoven in the sacred narrative that it is difficult to separate them. Can anything be done to enable the most casual reader to follow easily the destinies of these two kingdoms? By using a symbol of Jacob's well for Israel, and one of the Gate of Jerusalem for Judah, the separate chapters of their history are plainly displayed.

But more is needed if the history is to become alive. More windows must be put into the pages of letterpress. As one reads, the contour and character of the country must be as clear to the eye as an open landscape. So little sketches have been inserted of the mountains and deserts, valleys and hills that mould the features of the land of this Book. And there are, what might be called, snapshot drawings of the interesting things to be found there, whether by the wayside or in the city streets. It may be a bird or a flower, a beast of burden or a flock of sheep, and perhaps a travelling minstrel or a night watchman.

Here and there are objects of more than passing interest. They have a mission and a message for all mankind, and call for close-up pictures on a larger scale. Such are the early altars of these people of God, the Tabernacle in the wilderness and the Temple on Zion's Hill. Who would not linger at these sacred shrines? Or study in detail these monuments of worship?

In this series of drawings that illustrates the religion of Israel some pictures have been used more than once—a most unusual procedure in modern book production. The repetition is deliberate. It has been done to emphasize the unity and coherence of the sixty-six different books that together make our Bible, and to show the stream of continuity that runs through the Scriptures. By using, for example, one common picture throughout the Bible for the Book of Law the general reader gathers at once an impression of the place and power of this work in the people's life and history. He realizes that the Book of the Law about which the Psalmist sings, and the Prophets preach, is in effect the Book of the Law that is described in Exodus and discussed by Paul in his Epistles. Later, if the reader wishes, he can with the scholars go more fully into the matter, but for the time being this general idea will serve his purpose. By a similar repetition of pictures the Fall of Jerusalem recorded in the historical books is directly linked with the writings of the Prophets. There are other instances of the same kind.

Many pictures included in this work need no explanation and carry no caption. So close is the connexion between the drawings and the text that the line of letterpress beneath them, or in the adjoining column, will suffice to describe them.

A word about the letterpress and its layout is essential. The text is that of the Authorized Version, the classic translation of the English Bible. It is the plain text, without note or comment, and it is complete. Two changes have been made in the layout of its pages, both with the hope that they will contribute to the easier reading of the Book.

The first is not new. It has often been done, and obviously it meets the needs of modern readers. It is the arrangement of the text in paragraph form instead of the usual division into verses, with headlines to indicate the contents of the main sections, and sub-headings to mark the flow of the story. Great restraint has been exercised to keep the divisions as few as possible, and to use for the headings such words of Scripture as occur in the text.

The second change is a later development in the direction of a simplified page. In order that the reader can more readily distinguish the nature of the material before him two different sizes of type are used, without implying any difference in the value of such material. It is purely a visual aid for the convenience of the reader.

The position becomes clear when we realize how mixed and varied is the material to be found in the Bible. Every kind of literature is there. But whereas in a modern library History is in one section. Law in another. Philosophy in a third, and all the official documents of Church and State are separated from them, in the books of the Bible all these different forms of literature are inextricably woven together. It is this that makes the reading of Scripture so difficult. Surely something can be done, and should be done, to indicate the different types of material without lessening in any way the value of any of them.

Take, for instance, some of the official historic documents preserved in these ancient manuscripts. They may seem strange and obscure to us today. Yet no one would like to lose them. They are an essential part of the Bible's structure. We are drawn to study them as our interest in the volume grows. They are, however, concerned with technical matters that call for specialized critical study. The general reader finds these particular sections dull or puzzling, and could well afford to leave them until he has become acquainted with the main stream of the Book's great story.

When we begin the study of English history we are not, in our first lessons, expected to read through the Domesday Book or Magna Carta. We are, of course, glad to know they are available, and that we could read them if we wished. Under no circumstance would we have them torn from the fabric of British history, for they form a vital part of our inheritance. But they can wait until our interest has matured and our minds have been equipped to deal with them.

So it is with some of the material in the Bible. We cannot pan with it without injury to the Divine Revelation. But to meet the needs of the general reader, who may be for the first time taking up the Book, surely we may indicate where these specialized documents are? And this has been done by putting them into smaller type. In the main they cover genealogies, itineraries, building specifications, detailed regulations regarding ancient rites and customs, and a few tribal records of local feuds. But everything essential to the understanding of the message of the Bible has been set in larger type.

Foreword

EDITOR'S FOREWORD
TO THE READER'S EDITION
When the Jerusalem Bible was first published in English in 1966, the Foreword to the complete Standard edition announced its objects: to serve two pressing needs facing the Church, the need to keep abreast of the times and the need to deepen theological thought. This double program was carried out by translating the ancient texts into the language we use today, and by providing notes to the texts which were neither sectarian nor superficial. In that Foreword also, the dependence of the translators on the original pioneer work of the School of Biblical Studies in Jerusalem was acknowledged, and the English version was offered as an entirely faithful rendering of the original texts which, in doubtful points, preserved the text established and (for the most part) the interpretation adopted by the School in the light of the most recent researches in the fields of history, archaeology and literary criticism. With the text, the Standard edition presents the full explanatory notes that would enable any student to confirm for himself the interpretations that were adopted, to appreciate the theological implications drawn from them, and to understand the complex relations between different parts of the Bible.

However the Bible is not only for students undergoing a formal course of study, and there has been an immediate demand for an edition of the Jerusalem Bible which would bring the modern clarity of the text before the ordinary reader, and open to him the results of modern researches without either justifying them at length in literary and historical notes or linking them with doctrinal studies. For this reason, the present Reader's Edition has been prepared. The full Introductions of the Standard edition are here greatly abridged, to serve simply as brief explanations of the character of each book or group of books, their dates and their authorship; and the full Notes of the Standard edition have been greatly reduced in number and length, to restrict them to the minimum which are necessary for understanding the primary, literal meaning of the text; to explain terms, places, people and customs; to specify dates, and to identify the sources of quotations. In short, the brief Introductions and Notes are here only to help the ordinary reader to understand what he is reading and do not assume in him any wide literary, historical or theological knowledge or interests.

Page 1:

The grandeur of this historic sweep is the result of a careful and complex joining of several historical traditions, or sources. These are primarily four: the so-called Yahwist, Elohist, Priestly and Deuteronomic strands that run through the Pentateuch. (They are conveniently abbreviated as J, E, P and D.) Each brings to the Torah its own characteristics, its own theological viewpoint—a rich variety of interpretation that the sensitive reader will take pains to appreciate. A superficial difference between two of these sources is responsible for their names: the Yahwist prefers the name Yahweh (represented in translation as Lord) by which God revealed himself to Israel; the Elohist prefers the generic name for God, Elohim. The Yahwist is concrete, imaginative, using many anthropomorphisms in its theological approach, as seen, e.g., in the narrative of creation in Gn 2, compared with the Priestly version in Gn 1. The Elohist is more sober, moralistic. The Priestly strand, which emphasizes genealogies, is more severely theological in tone. The Deuteronomic approach is characterized by the intense hortatory style of Dt 5—11, and by certain principles from which it works, such as the centralization of worship in the Jerusalem temple.

PREFACE
The increasing interest in and love for the Sacred Scriptures can be attributed to the biblical movement, inaugurated and encouraged by our great modem Pontiffs and given even stronger impetus by the Second Vatican Council. Reminded by them of our duty and privilege, as members of the People of God, to disseminate the inspired Word of God, we have spared no effort to produce this improved New Edition of the Old and New Testaments.

As a sure means of deepening our knowledge of Truth, we have incorporated in this Edition the very latest complete Catholic translation known as "The New American Bible," and produced by members of the Catholic Biblical Association of America under the patronage of the Bishops' Committee of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

We confidently hope that the many distinctive features found only in our Edition of this fine modem translation will add greatly to the enjoyment, understanding and appreciation of the Sacred Writings.

Among these features, we might mention: the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation of Vatican II; a helpful section on how to read the Scriptures with more understanding; a valuable panoramic view of the lands, peoples, and major events of the Bible; a very handy Bible Dictionary; a listing of the new Mass readings for every Sunday of the year; a doctrinal Bible index for quick reference; and an easy-to-read sight-saving typeface.

Most important of all, we have included a series of 33 self-explaining Maps showing key events and areas in the Bible—each placed directly near the text which it concerns. In this way, the reader is kept abreast of the history of salvation without needless turning of pages to some other part of the book.

Another series of 7 7 photographs of important archeological finds offers much light on the Bible and provides impartial confirmation of the events present therein. Finally, the invaluable cross-references and notes at the bottom of each page are all clearly referred to in the text, so that as the reader moves along he is constantly kept aware of the wealth of information provided by the latest biblical scholarship.

May God see fit to make this new Edition an instrument for His greater glory and the salvation of souls.

FOREWORD

The deep blessings that come to the members of a family who hide the Word of God in their hearts are enhanced and broadened by the Bible study helps in this specially prepared Family Bible. Each help has been chosen with both care and reverent concern for the Scripture's ultimate purpose: the clear communication of God's message to the human reader.

It is the purpose of this Family Reference Bible to make available to the serious reader and student of Scripture a compilation of the best and most usable aids for personal and family study as well as for devotional reading. These are in line with the careful and prayerful scholarship of contemporary scholars and theologians. It is hoped that they will bring light and understanding to the text, that they will open the reader's heart to a deeper appreciation of God's Holy Word. Full color sections illustrate stories of Old and New Testaments as interpreted by master artists of the centuries. The Holy Land itself comes alive in the beautiful color photographs, which, along with the detailed maps, are designed to help the reader feel a personal presence while reading the Word of God. This Bible is intended to put the facts at the fingertips of laymen and Christian leaders alike. Color presentation pages will make this Bible a family heritage, treasured for years to come.

The text is the beloved King James Version, with American spelling, and pronunciation aids.

Since the helps are many and diverse, each family may decide which are best for its purpose. It is suggested, though, that you may wish to refer first to the section, "How to Study the Bible" which immediately precedes the "Biblical Cyclopedic Index". Also of special interest to the family will be "Biblical Statistics", a compilation of fascinating facts about the Bible which laymen and teachers will find helpful.

For added value, the words of Christ are in red.

The publishers pray that this Bible will enlighten all who read its sacred pages and that they may come to know the Author, whom to know aright is life eternal.

Foreword:

THE TRANSLATOR

The translator of this version of the Holy Scriptures, Steven T. Byington, was born in 1868. When less than thirteen years of age, he made it his goal to translate the Bible into modern English. To this end, Steven Byington directed his education to fit him for the work of Bible translating.

He took the classical course in college, receiving the degree of A.B. and graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Vermont. His postgraduate study included one year at Union Theological Seminary and a half year at Oberlin Theological Seminary. He specialized in Bible languages as far as the curriculums permitted. Thereafter he kept up his language studies in private.

About 1898 Mr. Byington felt that he could begin translating. It was then that he rendered the first chapter or two of Matthew into English. For some years he had little time for this work. But in 1906 he came into a position that enabled him to spend about forty-five minutes a day, six days a week, in actual translating. Other spare time was spent in studying the originallanguage text in preparation for what he planned to translate in coming days.

This continued until 1940, at which time he retired from his regular job. In the next three years he was able to devote all his working hours to the translation and thus complete it.

Mr. Byington regularly attended a Congregational church that later merged with another church to form the United Church of Ballard Vale, Massachusetts. He had a deep love and respect for the Holy Scriptures. His purpose was to put the Bible into living present-day English. To bring out the flavor of the original-language words, he attempted to determine their specific meaning.

He also appreciated the importance of incorporating the divine name "Jehovah" in his work, especially since its omission from other translations definitely obscured certain texts.. Regarding his use of the name "Jehovah," he said: "I see that the Hebrew is using a personal name, and the ruling principle of my translation is to make the English say just what the Hebrew said, in just the way in which the Hebrew said it, as exactly as English can be made to do it."

Mr. Byington looked forward to the publication of his entire translation, "The Bible in Living English," on which he had labored for some forty years. But his desire was not fulfilled during his lifetime.
After his death in 1957 the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania received the publication rights for the entire work. The translation was turned over to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York for publication.
We, the publishers, are pleased to make Mr. Byington's complete translation available to the reading public for the first time. It is our prayer that "The Bible in Living English" may play a part in helping honest-hearted readers to come to know the supreme Sovereign of the universe, Jehovah God.

Foreword

Every vernacular version of the Bible is a translation from the original Greek or Hebrew which in some cases may be a translation from an even earlier Aramaic version of the Scriptures. If these vernacular translations are judged good or bad on the basis of their literal translation from the original languages, the question of good or bad translations should be left entirely to linguists. In such a case, no translation would be accepted as perfect, because the idioms of one language remain unintelligible in a translation to another language.

Vernacular versions of the Bible have been accepted by the various Churches or rejected by them on the basis of Doctrinal implications of the translations. The acceptance of a vernacular translation by a Church means that the wording is not inimical to the Doctrinal traditions of that Church. Thus the question of good or bad translation is no longer a linguistic question, but a Doctrinal one.

Genuine care and concern for the purity of a Doctrinal tradition has in the history of Christianity been the cause of serious dispute among the Churches. Translations of the Scripture have been undertaken from a Doctrinal bias born out of this genuine concern.

This present volume departs radically from this history of Scriptural translations. It is born out of a sincere desire to have the Word of God reach as many people as possible, and in a language that is our own. Perhaps more than other translations, this translation cannot be used as a basis for Doctrinal or traditional disputes. More than other English versions of the Bible, this one freely departs from a literal translation from the original languages. People from various Doctrinal traditions may rejoice or be chagrined at the particular translations found within this volume, depending on whether or not the translation supports their particular Doctrinal bias. Most readers of the Bible who choose this translation will not be interested in such technical, theological considerations. They will be looking for spirit and life from the Word of God. We rejoice in our chance to encourage and help those who approach the Scriptures for this reason. We caution those who wish to engage in theological disputes not to use this volume. But we gladly join in cooperation with all those whose sincere interest is to make the .Word of God available in a truly American style.

Father Keith dark, O.F.M.Cap.
