American Revised Version 2005 (eSword)




1. History:

On July 7, 1870, it was moved in the Lower House of the Convocation of Canterbury that in the work of revision the cooperation of American divines be invited. This resolution was assented to, and on December 7, 1871, the arrangements were completed.

Posted on by Pastor David

In this post we will compare a lot of English Bibles on the passage of Isa 7:14

Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

I don’t necessarily want to do a full defense of this translation of Scripture because I am not doing these Bible compares to exposit Bible (absolutely). But in the end analysis, that is exactly what we will have to do. The point is to compare how different translators treated difficult passages.

Note that I am using theWord free Bible Software to do this analysis which is very easy with the sofBible Compare Isa 7:14 virgin tware package.
