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.

this ad is older, but gives a good overview of the above Bible; https://youtu.be/3XBuFr1b8VU

good explanation, but probably need to watch at x2 https://youtu.be/4pErXUUk4Ho?t=360
yes, definitely like the connection to old Greek, so that is good to know. also didn't realize that about the painting, the other one had the Deleware picture, they must have a couple versions/need to look up the story of the prayer. And glad you mentioned the Revolution, as that's a cool fact of the Geneva Bible, the Patriots would have been familiar with it, and maybe even had a copy.
Looks like the publisher released a few editions of virtually the same "1599 Geneva Bible":
"Patriot's Edition" 1st edition 2010 - GW kneeling in prayer
"Patriot's Edition" 2nd edition 2012 - GW crossing the Delaware
Both Patriot's editions are identical aside from cover art. Both contain US Founding related historical documents: Magna Carta, Mayflower Compact, DoI AoC, Constitution and GW's "Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior"
3rd edition 2015 - Embarkation of the Pilgrims
Can't tell what documents are included.
4th edition 2017 - Luther 95 Theses
This version marked 500th anniversary of Lutheran Reformation. No US documents, instead 95 Theses, Augsburg Confession and Luther's Small Catechism
thanks for sorting that out for me, love the Delaware picture, so will have to search for the one you listed. would also be interesting to have those extra documents. I'm a fan of George Washington, but haven't read "Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior", sounds like a good one.
Looks like Mt. Vernon has a full version uploaded on their website:

All the other US and Reformation docs should be readily accessible online as well. All great stuff to have read.
