Notes

The 1868 Holy Bible, also known as the King James Version (KJV) or the Authorized Version, holds significant historical and cultural importance. Published during a time of great religious fervor and linguistic evolution, it reflects the culmination of centuries of English translation tradition. Commissioned by King James I of England and completed in 1611, this edition stands as a cornerstone of English literature and Christian faith. Its elegant language and poetic prose have profoundly influenced English-speaking societies and continue to shape religious discourse and literary scholarship to this day.
