It was brought over by the Puritans, and hated by King James🧐
It was also the first portable Bible; so a Bible for the people, by the people.
there is a real nice Patriot's Edition with the George Washington picture that Q posted.

Interesting. Are there any notable differences? I've always wondered how we're supposed to know exactly which Bible is the closest. Maybe in the end, good enough is good enough to God the Father, but I'd be curious to see if there is any sort of agenda at work.
The Ethiopian Bible has several books not in most other versions, and the Ethiopian Bible is one of the oldest on record.
I'm fairly new to studying the Bible, but from what I can tell, KJV was similar to the Geneva Bible in literal content, but the GB had a lot of marginal notes which helped common people to study.
the notes also criticized the government, so KJ didn't like that & had the GB outlawed.
that in itself is enough for me to want to learn more. I tend to like the rule breakers;)
At one time e-sword.net had a downloadable Geneva translation. I think it’s free for desktops
thanks that's good to know. I've been reading this below, and it's quite tedious to search. would much prefer e-sword.
