This is an updated public domain Old Testament module to conform to the LXX. This is
a work in progress by Nelson Mitrophan Chin. This Old Testament is being restored to
the LXX order according to H.B. Swete using the English translation
of Brenton (1851). All Hebrew Masoretic additions and variations are bracketted and noted as such. KJV chapter and verse numbering are preserved in parenthesis for easy referencing.
All instances of the name Eliu is replaced with the more familiar Greek 'Elias' also known as Elijah. Suffer is replaced by give
in Ps 15(16):10 to preserve the Greek verb dwseiv. For the Greek term 'sitw',
corn is used instead of oil in Hosea 7:14.
The Song of the Three Holy Children and the Prayer of
Azariah has been restored back to the LXX order of Daniel 3:24-90,
inserted between verses 23 and 24 of the King James Version. Dn
3:24-30; 4:1-3 KJV are renumbered to 3:91-101. Daniel 4:4-37 KJV to Dn
4:1-33. The History of Susanna and the History of the Destruction of
Bel and the Dragon, cut off from the end of Daniel in the KJV, has
been restored back to the LXX order of Daniel as chapters 13 and
14.
The Greek Additions to Esther is restored to the LXX order with
additions from Brenton's:
Es 11:2-12:6 KJV (Add. A) is prepended to Es 1, as Es 1:1-17.
Es 1:1-22 KJV as Es 1:18-39.
Es 13:1-7 KJV (Add. B) is inserted between Es 3:13 and 3:14 KJV,
and renumbered as Es 3:14-20.
Es 3:14-15 KJV is renumbered as Es 3:21-22.
Es 13:8-14:19 KJV (Add. C, D) is appended to Es 4 as Es 4:18-47.
Es 15:1-16 KJV (Add. E) is prepended to Es 5 as Es 5:1-10 using
Brenton's text and verse division, and replaces Es 5:1-2 KJV.
Es 5:3-14 KJV is renumbered as Es 5:11-22.
Es 16:1-24 KJV (Add. E) is inserted between Es 8:12 and Es 8:13 KJV, as Es 8:13-36.
Es 8:13-17 KJV as Es 8:37-41.
Es 10:4-11:1 KJV (Add. F) is appended to Es 10 as Es 10:4-14.
Jeremiah is
rearranged according to the LXX. Any vesperal readings taken from
Jeremiah or Proverbs may be off-aligned in the Menologion, as it is hard-coded to
the KJV chapter and verse ordering.

This is an updated New Testament module to conform to the Byzantine
text by Nelson Mitrophan Chin using the King James Version with amendments to
the language in 1833 by Noah Webster, America's first grammarian and
founding father of American education, who in 1828 published the
"American Dictionary of the English Language".
The Greek term 'Hades' is kept instead of translating it to
'hell' in Mt 11:23; Mt 16:18; Lk 10:15; Lk 16:23; Ac 2:27,31; 1Co
15:55; Re 1:18; Re 6:8; Re 20:13-14.
The Greek term 'Pascha' is kept instead of translating it to 'Passover'
or 'Easter' in Mt 26:2,17-19; Mk 14:1,12,14,16; Lk 2:41;
Lk 22:1,7,8,11,13,15; Jn 2:13,23; Jn 6:4; Jn 11:55; Jn 12:1; Jn 13:1;
Jn 18:28,39; Jn 19:14; Ac 12:4; 1Co 5:7; Heb 11:28.
Since the Greek term 'nous' can also refer to the eye of the heart or
soul or center of attention, 'nous' is kept instead of translating it
to 'mind' or 'understanding' which refers only to intellectual
reasoning, in Lk 24:45; Ro 1:28; Ro 7:23,25; Ro 11:34; Ro 12:2;
Ro 14:5; 1Co 1:10; 1Co 2:16; 1Co 14:14,15,19; Ep 4:17,23; Phil 4:7;
Col 2:18; 2Th 2:2; 1Ti 6:5; 2Ti 3:8; Ti 1:15; Re 13:18; Re 17:9
To convey the Greek term 'Hierourgeo' in Ro 15:16, 'ministering' is
annotated with the clause [in priestly service]. For the Greek term
'Leitourgeo', 'minister' is annotated with the clause [the liturgy] in
Act 13:2. For the Greek term 'Leitourgikos', ministering is replaced
by the term 'liturgical' in Heb 1:14. To convey the Greek term
'Sunergeo', the clause [in synergy] is annotated in Mk 16:20; Ro 8:28;
1Co 16:16; 2Co 6:1; Jas 2:22. To convey the Greek term 'En' in Lk
23:42, 'into thy kingdom' is replaced with 'in thy kingdom'. To convey
the Greek term 'Chrisma', the clause [of chrism] is annotated in 1Jn
2:20,27. For the Greek term 'Chrio' in Lk 4:18; Ac 4:27; Ac 10:38;
2Co 1:21; Heb 1:9, 'anointed' is replaced with 'chrismated'. For the
Greek term 'presbuteros' and 'presbuterion', 'presbyter(s)' and
'presbytery' is used instead of 'elder(s)'. For the Greek term
'Eikon', 'icon' is used instead of 'image'. For the Greek term 'dwseiv',
'give' is used instead of 'suffer' in Acts 13:35.
Taking the original KJV New Testament one step further and to be
consistent with the Greek Old and New Testament, Greek names are used,
such as Jeremias for Jeremiah or Jeremy, Elias for Elijah, Osee for
Hosea, Jonas for Jonah, Eliseus for Elisha, Timotheus for Timothy, Noe
for Noah, Judas for Judah, Urias for Uriah, reversing Webster's
update, whose intentions was to help correlate with the KJV Old
Testament names.
