WK Translation Notes

+
a
It is a fair question as to "I heard" or "they heard" the latter having decidedly the best ancient evidence in its favor, as well as the more modern copies from which the received text was drawn; but the former has good authority, uncial and cursive, supported by most of the ancient versions, and the general analogy of the phrase in the book. The Revisers adhere to "they" heard, as in the KJV. But there is no inconsiderable testimony to "I heard."
b
"The" cloud in the RV is a good correction of simple mistranslation in the KJV.
