Fourth month is right, also previous versions also had no month attached but now is divinly added to the Bible. Another time KJB corrects the Hebrew.

Lol. Hilarious

Okay, but the niv also have four.

 

[Marooncat79]

I was laughing at you saying that the KJV corrects the Hebrew.

Then please tell me why 'four' is not in Hebrew.

Hello Community,

I wish to make an apology and correction:

The KJB didn't correct the Hebrew first, the Covedale and Matthew's versions did.

As the Old Testament was originally in Hebrew, if you say the Hebrew needed correcting by English translations made hundreds of years later, you must believe that God gave people a faulty bible to start with, and left them with it for hundreds of years.

Dear David, its either that 'four' wasn't there or it was accidenly left out. And preserved in some other manuscript or completely being divinly inspired. Just like 'brother of' in Goliath. Or it was implied.

So, should we remove 'four?' Or maybe there is a Hebrew manuscript with 'four', where is it?

Shawn, a Bible believer.

David, don't tell me the KJB is wrong with calling God a 'it' if don't want me 'correcting the original languages.' God gave the Greek in the neutral form, not masculine.

David, don't tell me the KJB is wrong with calling God a 'it' if don't want me 'correcting the original languages.' God gave the Greek in the neutral form, not masculine.

But Greek isn't English. Some languages make all their nouns masculine, feminine and neuter. For example, in Latin, the word for "table" is "mensa", which is a feminine noun. In French, the word for "car" is "voiture," which is a feminine noun, That doesn't mean that when translating into English, we have to refer to tables and cars as "she". English doesn't have grammatically masculine, feminine and neuter nouns. We use "he" for males, "she" for females, and "it" for things. So using "it" in English for the Holy Spirit would only be correct if the Holy Spirit were a thing.

We use 'her' for ships.

 

[KJB1611reader]

Thee Webter bible got rid of all the connection of pronouns in things as in the King James Bible.

A well is having a mouth and called 'his mouth.'

 

[David Lamb]

We use 'her' for ships.

Yes, that's the exception. But that doesn't make "ship" a grammatically feminine noun.

John Gill had no issue calling God a 'it.'

 

[KJB1611reader]

Interesting, Gnv had masculine. Well well well.

Have you got a quote from Gill where he refers to God as "it?"

 

[KJB1611reader]

May I ask, if I give the answer will change anything?

 

[David Lamb]

May I ask, if I give the answer will change anything?

I simply meant that if you just say, "John Gill had no issue calling God a 'it.'" the rest of us have no idea what it was from John Gill's writings that gave you the idea that he had no issues with calling God "it". If you answered and said, "Here is a passage from Gill's works where he referred to God as "it," and then quoted the passage, we would be able to read it for ourselves and see whether he approved of calling God "it."
