ESV revision again in 2016

Hard to believe that the ESV has gone through yet another revision. What I find interesting is that the ESV is not a new translation but a revision of the RSV so how come they have to keep making revisions? I understand new translations go through revisions but this is not a new translation. What is even more interesting is they call each revision a permanent version, that is, until they revise it again then that becomes a revision. Am I the only one that finds these revisions frustrating?

I understand these revisions do not make earlier versions unusable but I like to have an up to date bible for my primary usage and am getting tired of buying news ones. Maybe I am just cheap.

ok. thanks I must have missed it. How does one delete a thread. I will delete this then\

 

just did not want to have a duplicate threat if this issue has been exhausted elsewhere.

 

Ya, I suppose. I did notice that in Genesis the change from "for" to "contrary to" was putting into the text what they had footnoted. I haven't gone through all of the changes and they are minor but still. Maybe they are now working on the "essentially" part of literal.
