Third edition, first published in 1993. This Bible is a literal edition of the Old and New Testaments. The work makes it easier to see the true meaning of Christian doctrines by correcting mistranslations of such words as "forever" and "eternal." The Hebrew word eleph, which has traditionally been mistranslated as 1000 has been rendered in this printing as eleph so that the reader can decide in context if it means 1000 or if it means a small group (or number) as it meant when Moses wrote his words. Read the Preface of the book to understand this important point. Small text, 9 point text.
