Description
This is a religious text in the form of an English translation of the Christian Bible, first published in 1611. It comprises a collection of 80 books, encompassing historical narratives, laws, poetry, prophecy, and teachings central to Christianity. The work was commissioned by King James I of England to produce an authorised version for the Church of England, and it reflects language and literary styles characteristic of early 17th-century English. Its translation aimed to address controversies and discrepancies in earlier versions and has had a profound influence on religious practice and English literature.
The King James Version has played a significant role in shaping religious thought and literary tradition over the past four centuries. It remains one of the most widely read and influential biblical texts in the English-speaking world. The work's majestic style and phrasing have contributed to its enduring prominence in Christian worship, biblical scholarship, and cultural references.

From the opening pages
1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light…
