Synopsis

1st Facsimile Edition of the 1867 1st Edition of the Joseph Smith, Jr. Inspired Translation of The King James Version of the Bible. This text is as good as it gets! When this work first came into the hands of Orson Pratt, he and his wife Sarah stayed up until 2 am in the morning reading and comparing it to the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) and Orson said, "Sarah, these men have done their work honestly! This translation is just as it was left by the Prophet Joseph in 1833. I could quickly have detected it had they tampered with or altered what he wrote. I am delighted with it, and I thank God that I have received this copy!" (A Plainer Translation Joseph Smiths Translation of the Bible: A History and Commentary, by Matthews, BYU Press, p. 228) Editions by other publishers have made some changes to the Joseph Smith, Jr. translation and have reverted back to the KJV text. This 1867 1st edition facsimile is as close to the original Joseph Smith Jr. translation as you can get! This Bible has the FULL COMPLETE TEXT of the Old and New Testaments, translations included, this is not just a side-by-side comparison of only the changed verses, which cannot be read in context of all the other verses, this is the full and complete text of the Joseph Smith Translation of The Holy King James Version of the Bible. There are also pages for family records, colorful maps, Bible helps, and a concordance. The page edges are white like a normal paperback book. Other copies of this edition are available with gold leaf and deluxe leather or hardback covers.
