The American Standard Edition of the Revised Bible

The sale of the American Standard Edition of the Revised Bible still continues, and is increasing each week. A number of those who have received the book have written to us, expressing their high appreciation of it. One of our conference presidents says that he considers it the best revised translation of the Bible that has ever been published. Others speak in equally high terms concerning it. It is believed that this volume will bring the reader more closely into contact with the exact thought of the sacred writers than other translations. We give below a few of the changes noticed in the study of the Sabbath-school lessons recently, which seem to aid in a clearer understanding of the texts:—

Authorized Version

Dan. 1:8: “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank.”

Dan. 1:15: “And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat.”

Dan. 2:30: “But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king.”

Dan. 7:9: “I beheld till the thrones were cast down,” etc.

American Revision

Dan. 1:8: “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank.”

Dan. 1:15: “And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king’s dainties.”

Dan. 2:30: “As for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king.”

Dan. 7:9: “I beheld till thrones were placed,” etc.

Many other texts might be cited in which the change of a word or two leads to a clearer understanding of the Scripture.
