The Bible Auathorized KJV with Apocrypha.
An excellent resource for bible studies, only exception is the print is too small for extended reading. I should have looked for a large print version of the Apocrypha.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Thing we need to know
This bible is the best translation of the dead sea scrolls, plus it has the apocrypha. You really have an appreciation of what King James had done by ordering the scrolls to be translated into english. The bible is the word of Yah and the history of the true Isralites Hebrews.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
