Psalm 119 in KJV, NIV, etc. is Psalm 118 in Douay-Rheims, Vulgate, Septuagint, Russian Synodal Translation, etc. Douay-Rheims was actually a translation of Vulgate Clementina. It follows Catholic numbering (although American Catholics switched to KJV numbering in some versions). More about different Bible chapter/verse numbering systems is on my blog.
These reviews are like drive-by shooting. You can't talk to people and explain that they made a mistake.
UPDATE: You actually maybe talking about the reviews for my version. I see that Mozaika posted a link. |
Ah, thank you for clarifying. I know there are like, I don't know, a bajillion different bibles floating around right now. (Went to the Christian store the other day, they have a 'Bible for Electricians', no joke.) But when it comes to differences between them, I only know what makes a bible a Catholic bible. Thanks for your answer!
Do you think it'd be terribly confusing for me to have a D-R on my Kindle and an NAB physical bible, and switching between them? I want one on my Kindle for easy on-the-go reading, but I like having the physical one to leaf through.
