I would suggest that you donate them to a worthy organization such as an inner-city church start-up or a homeless shelter. There may be people in those places that do not possess a personal Bible in any condition. (BTW - brand new Bibles given away at these places are often sold off by...

Serious Bible study is greatly aided by multiple translations; therefore, both.

Additional (see above post) parallelism concerning Caleb and Othniel from Joshua 15:15-19 & Judges 1:11-15 (KJV) -- 15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher. 16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him...

More from my SS studies: Joshua 21:12 & 1 Chronicles 6:56 (KJV) -- 12 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. 56 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh. And Joshua...

Again while looking at an upcoming Sunday School lesson, I noticed the correspondence between Joshua 17:3 & Numbers 27:1 (KJV) -- 3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters...

Thank you, Ziggy. I am glad to have this information. I did look at Girdlestone's work and he covers the parallels of Samuel/Kings & Chronicles which I have intentionally avoided here. They are indeed well documented as are the parallels in the Gospels. Its nice to know you are still looking...

I was studying for my adult Sunday School lesson for this week in Joshua 10 when I noticed these two verses were exactly the same (KJV) -- 15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. 43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. The...

Isaiah 35:10 & 51:11 (KJV)-- 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing...

Excellent contribution, Deacon!

Repeated verses from the book of Song of Songs (KJV) - - 2:6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. 8:3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. The words "is" and "should be" above are inserted by the KJV...

Repeated phrases helped shape the chapter divisions of the Book of Job (KJV)-- 6:1 But Job answered and said, 9:1 Then Job answered and said, 12:1 And Job answered and said, 16:1 Then Job answered and said, 19:1 Then Job answered and said, 21:1 But Job answered and said, 23:1 Then Job...

Notice how these three uplifting phrases reoccur together frequently: Be strong and of [a] good courage; Fear not, nor be afraid/dismayed; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee (KJV)-- Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he...

The pagan nations that inhabited the Promised Land before the Israelites are often listed in Scripture. Sometimes the list has seven groups named (Deut. 7:1; Joshua 3:10, 24:11), many times six (Exodus 23:23; Det. 20:17; Joshua 12:8; Neh. 9:8), occasionally just five (Exodus 13:5, Numbers 13:29...

The parallel between these two verses (Ephesians 1:7 & Colossians 1:14) is well known, but unless I missed it they have not yet been posted in this thread -- 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 14 In whom we have...

Have you discovered a redundancy in your Bible reading? It seems I cannot read very long before I notice some repetition. Look at the similarities within these two verses from Psalm 59 (KJV) -- 6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 14 And at...

I haven't seen a mention of the Purified version in any posts in several pages. It seems folks have a difficult time staying on topic here.

It does not take a Greek scholar to see that the NIV has not left the imperative statement out. Note that the NIV has merely move the command from the back of the phrase to the front: "Forgive..." I give credit to the NIV for their economy of words to express the phrase.

Very similar statements between two different books: Exodus 34:6-7 & Numbers 14:18 (KJV) -- 6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity...

An example of a very similar statement between two different books: Joel 2:13 & Jonah 4:2 (KJV) -- 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 2 And he...

Here is such an example of repetition across two books: Joshua 24:28-31 & Judges 2:6-9 (KJV) -- 28 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance. 29 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, [being] an hundred and ten...
