Cambridge University PressThe publishing house of the University of Cambridge is the oldest Bible publisher in the world. At Cambridge, we have been committed to high standards of Bible printing and binding since we produced our first Bible in 1591. In an age of mass production and quick turnover, we believe that readers still want and appreciate the fine quality Bibles that we are able to offer. We hope that you will find our catalog helpful in understanding the choices available.

Each Cambridge Bible has been made with skill and care from the best and most appropriate materials. If treated with reasonable care and respect as befits a well-made and valuable article, it will give years of use.

The cover material used to bind fine Bibles is of course a natural product, and many of the binding processes are still hand-crafted, so each real leather Bible is unique. However, if there is reason to believe that a Bible suffers from defects in materials or workmanship and that its current condition is not consistent with normal wear and tear nor the consequence of misuse or damage after purchase, the customer should return it to the source from which it was purchased. If the problem remains unresolved the customer should contact Cambridge University Press, which reserves the right to inspect the book to determine whether it has a manufacturing flaw before considering offering a replacement.

The NIV watchword is ‘balance’. The most widely used of any modern Bible version, the NIV marries meaning-for-meaning principles with word-for-word renderings. It is an all-round translation, suitable for a wide range of purposes, and has proven especially popular amongst evangelicals. Its straightforward, contemporary language is both clear and dignified in style.

This Bible presents the ever-popular New International Version using the NIV text, as updated in 2011. It is in the classic Cambridge Pitt Minion layout, a clever combination of readable text and compact form.

The text is set in Lexicon no 1, a modern digital font that is efficient at fitting many words into a small space —a significant advantage for a Bible that needs to be compact enough to carry easily. It is arranged in paragraph format, and the words of Christ are printed in red.

The text is supported by cross-references and a concordance.

The Bibles are printed on India paper and bound with a ribbon marker and presentation page in a range of cover materials.

Pitt Minion Bibles

Cambridge’s original Pitt Minion Bibles, in the King James Version, were notable for their use of a compact typeface designed by the celebrated typographer Stanley Morison in the heyday of hot-metal composition. They have been a feature of the Cambridge list for over 70 years.

Morison was typographical consultant to Cambridge University Press as well as to The Times. He well understood the need for Bibles to be printed in type that was readable, yet not so big as to render the finished book unwieldy.

Getting this balance right is just as important today—our 21st century Pitt Minion Bibles take their inspiration from the original edition and are greatly admired around the world for being compact and portable, yet still easy to read.

They use a stylish digital font which combines utility and elegance. Lexicon No.1 was designed for applications requiring a particularly economical setting, such as encyclopedias and dictionaries, and it has all the characteristics of a traditional Bible typeface. The result produces a classic form of the Bible for the twenty-first century.

It was typeset using a stylish modern font sharing many qualities with traditional Bible typefaces. As in the NIV Pitt Minion Edition from which it derives, the design delivers the characteristic combination of clarity with economy of form.

The text is arranged in paragraph format with full cross-references and the words of Christ are printed in red.

At the front is a presentation page and at the back are a concordance and maps.

This Bible is printed on Bible paper with gilt edges and bound in black calf split leather.

The KJV Clarion Reference Edition was published in 2011 to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the King James Version. It was the first new Cambridge KJV reference Bible for over half a century and was designed to meet today’s increasing demand for an accessible format and comfortable reading size.

It is typeset in Lexicon No.1, a digital font designed for easy reading with many similar characteristics to traditional hot-metal Bible typefaces, bringing together the best of the old and the new. The print is black letter throughout and the text is presented in paragraph style and in a single-column format. The notes and cross-references have been placed in the outer margin, leaving the text relatively free and unencumbered.

These Bibles include maps and––instead of a conventional concordance and dictionary––a Reader’s Companion bringing together key elements of both.

Pitt Minion Bibles are notable for their synthesis of function and style—of readable text, in compact form—and have been a staple of the Cambridge list for over—70 years. Recently, Cambridge has developed new Pitt Minion Bibles in a range of versions, all in the same elegant format as the original KJV editions of the 1930s.

Now the KJV edition has been freshly typeset as part of the current generation of Cambridge Pitt Minion Reference Bibles. In these, the text is presented in paragraph style, using a modern font that has many qualities in common with the traditional Bible typefaces. In the Pitt Minion design it delivers the characteristic combination of clarity with economy of form—producing a slimline Bible that is exceptionally clear and easy to read.

The Cameo Edition is a classic Cambridge typesetting of the King James Version, originally produced in the 1920s for letterpress printing. The beauty of the Cameo is its solution to the age-old problem of providing readable type in a book of manageable size. The Bibles shown here come in a range of binding styles, but the same familiar layout, and original Petit Medieval Clarendon type. The range includes a superb edge-lined goatskin binding with art-gilt edges.

One option includes the Apocrypha which, although printed with the Old and New Testaments in 1611 and included in almost every King James Version Bible for 200 years, is seldom found in modern editions.

is a God in Israel. 47And all this assembly shall know that the LORD

saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and hewill give you into our hands.’

48And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drewnigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army tomeet the Philistine. 49And David put his hand in his bag, and tookthence a stone, and slung it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead,that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to theearth. 50So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with astone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no swordin the hand of David. 51Therefore David ran, and stood upon thePhilistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof,and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistinessaw their champion was dead, they fled. 52And the men of Israel and ofJudah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou cometo the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of thePhilistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and untoEkron. 53And the children of Israel returned from chasing after thePhilistines, and they spoiled their tents. 54And David took the head ofthe Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour inhis tent.

55And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he saidunto Abner, the captain of the host, ‘Abner, whose son is this youth?’And Abner said, ‘As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell’. 56And the kingsaid, ‘Inquire thou whose son the stripling is’. 57And as David returnedfrom the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought himbefore Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58And Saul saidto him, ‘Whose son art thou, thou young man?’ And David answered, ‘Iam the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite’.

18 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking untoSaul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David,

and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 2And Saul took him that day,and would let him go no more home to his father’s house. 3ThenJonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his ownsoul. 4And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him,and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to hisbow, and to his girdle.

5And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved him-self wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was acceptedin the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.6And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from theslaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities ofIsrael, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy,and with instruments of music. 7And the women answered oneanother as they played, and said, ‘Saul hath slain his thousands, andDavid his ten thousands’. 8And Saul was very wroth, and the saying dis-pleased him; and he said, ‘They have ascribed unto David ten thou-sands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he

but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.3If I gave everything I have to the poor andeven sacrificed my body, I could boast aboutit;* but if I didn’t love others, I would havegained nothing.

4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jeal-ous or boastful or proud 5or rude. It doesnot demand its own way. It is not irritable,and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6Itdoes not rejoice about injustice but rejoiceswhenever the truth wins out. 7Love nevergives up, never loses faith, is always hope-ful, and endures through every circum-stance.

8Prophecy and speaking in unknown lan-guages* and special knowledge will becomeuseless. But love will last forever! 9Now ourknowledge is partial and incomplete, andeven the gift of prophecy reveals only part ofthe whole picture! 10But when the time ofperfection comes, these partial things willbecome useless.

11When I was a child, I spoke and thoughtand reasoned as a child. But when I grew up,I put away childish things. 12Now we seethings imperfectly, like puzzling reflectionsin a mirror, but then we will see everythingwith perfect clarity.* All that I know now ispartial and incomplete, but then I will knoweverything completely, just as God nowknows me completely.

13Three things will last forever—faith,hope, and love—and the greatest of these islove.

Tongues and Prophecy

14 Let love be your highest goal! Butyou should also desire the special

abilities the Spirit gives—especially the abil-ity to prophesy. 2For if you have the ability tospeak in tongues,* you will be talking only toGod, since people won’t be able to under-stand you. You will be speaking by thepower of the Spirit,* but it will all be myste-rious. 3But one who prophesies strengthensothers, encourages them, and comfortsthem. 4A person who speaks in tongues isstrengthened personally, but one whospeaks a word of prophecy strengthens theentire church.

5I wish you could all speak in tongues,but even more I wish you could all prophesy.For prophecy is greater than speaking intongues, unless someone interprets whatyou are saying so that the whole church willbe strengthened.

6Dear brothers and sisters,* if I shouldcome to you speaking in an unknown lan-guage,* how would that help you? But if Ibring you a revelation or some specialknowledge or prophecy or teaching, thatwill be helpful. 7Even lifeless instruments

like the flute or the harp must play the notesclearly, or no one will recognize the melody.8And if the bugler doesn’t sound a clear call,how will the soldiers know they are beingcalled to battle?

9It’s the same for you. If you speak to peo-ple in words they don’t understand, howwill they know what you are saying? Youmight as well be talking into empty space.

10There are many different languages inthe world, and every language has meaning.11But if I don’t understand a language, I willbe a foreigner to someone who speaks it,and the one who speaks it will be a foreign-er to me. 12And the same is true for you.Since you are so eager to have the specialabilities the Spirit gives, seek those that willstrengthen the whole church.

13So anyone who speaks in tonguesshould pray also for the ability to interpretwhat has been said. 14For if I pray intongues, my spirit is praying, but I don’t un-derstand what I am saying.

15Well then, what shall I do? I will pray inthe spirit,* and I will also pray in words I un-derstand. I will sing in the spirit, and I willalso sing in words I understand. 16For if youpraise God only in the spirit, how can thosewho don’t understand you praise God alongwith you? How can they join you in givingthanks when they don’t understand whatyou are saying? 17You will be giving thanksvery well, but it won’t strengthen the peoplewho hear you.

18I thank God that I speak in tonguesmore than any of you. 19But in a churchmeeting I would rather speak five under-standable words to help others than tenthousand words in an unknown language.

20Dear brothers and sisters, don’t bechildish in your understanding of thesethings. Be innocent as babies when it comesto evil, but be mature in understandingmatters of this kind. 21It is written in theScriptures*:

“I will speak to my own peoplethrough strange languagesand through the lips of foreigners.

But even then, they will not listen tome,”*

says the Lord.

22So you see that speaking in tongues is asign, not for believers, but for unbelievers.Prophecy, however, is for the benefit of be-

The NLT Pitt Minion Bibles have the features characteristic of the Cambridge Pitt Minion “family”: comprehensive cross-references, a concordance and 15 color maps to support the Bible text.

They are printed on delicate India paper, Smyth-sewn for flexibility and endurance, and bound with ribbon markers and presentation pages. There are two goatskin leather bindings, one black, one brown, and a third real leather option in black French Morocco leather.

An additional style, in two-tone black imitation leather, will be published in late 2014.

The New Living Translation was translated by 90 leading Bible scholars from the ancient texts. It employs clear and natural English. It often makes implicit information explicit (e.g. “disreputable sinners and corrupt tax collectors”.) The NLT’s motto is “the Truth made clear.”

‘Overall, I commend this NLT Pitt Minion Reference Edition Bible to you for use in both personal reading and proclamation. In one binding a 21st century translation is combined with the style and quality of previous generations’

Can you always judge a good book by its cover?

Not necessarily…as first impressions may be misleading!

Bibles may come in a variety of cover styles and materials, but the options available within a particular edition almost always share a common printed book block—the inside of the book—and the true measure of quality therefore begins with an assessment of the text design and the paper and print quality. We may often see high-quality supple leather covers wrapped round a book whose quality is better suited to a basic and inexpensive mechanical binding style. Conversely, in the Cambridge Bible list even the simpler hardcover books have similar quality features—design, paper, print quality, sewn bindings—to the fine bindings within the same edition.

Consider the essential elements of the book, from the inside out …

DesignThe Bible publisher’s first challenge has always

been to compress within one book the same number of words (more than three-quarters of a million in the Old and New Testaments) as might constitute half a dozen or more novels.

Traditionally this has been met by printing on very thin paper in carefully chosen type sizes, typefaces, and page layouts.

The printed page should be easy to read, but a small Bible cannot be printed in a large typeface without increasing the number of pages and consequently the thickness, so designers strive to find the optimum balance between readability and portability. The outer margins should be even, and in the centre of the book the “gutter” margins should be sufficiently generous so as not to interfere with reading.

The Type Many designs of typeface or “font” are

available to the printer. In order to be economical in the space it occupies and at the same time easy to read in small sizes, the font needs to be what printers traditionally describe as “large on the body”: the central part of the letter should be generously proportioned with modestly sized ascenders and descenders (e.g. the upward stroke of h and the downward stroke of p). A thin, spidery type may prove tiring to the eye, but one with over-thick strokes will make the page look too dark. Fussy or unusual letter forms may distract or irritate the reader.

Note that point size is not a universal measurement, nor is any specific point size in itself a guarantee of readability. Each font has its own characteristics, and an 8 point in one font may generally be considered as legible as a 9 or 10 point in some others. The amount of leading between the lines, the length of the text line, and whether the text prints line-on-line (see “Printing”) are factors that all contribute significantly to readability.

PaperBecause of their length, Bibles traditionally

have been printed on very thin paper to ensure compact volumes. Nevertheless, paper in a Bible should have sufficient strength to sustain the usage it will receive. The best Bibles are printed on papers that are not only much thinner and finer than ordinary book papers, but are also strong and have good opacity so as to minimize “show-through” of printing on the reverse side. (Paper weighing below 30gsm (“20lb” in the US) is usually described as “India paper,” and over 30gsm as “Bible paper”).

Some Cambridge reference Bibles have wide margins, so that owners can make notes against the Bible text. The paper used in these Bibles is chosen for its capacity to absorb handwritten notes and its improved resilience. Nevertheless, it is advisable to test pens and pencils on the paper before making extensive notes, to ensure that the ink flow is not so great as to bleed through the paper. Making notes in standard Bibles without wide margins is not recommended.

Cambridge Bibles are printed on high-quality lightweight paper, chosen to achieve the optimum readability for the minimum bulk. Various factors—

strength, thinness and opacity, and aesthetic qualities—are considered in sourcing appropriate papers that meet

internationally recognized environmental standards.

Recognizing a fine Bible

The typefaces chosen for Cambridge Bibles have been selected to provide the most legible and attractive appearance for the particular style and size of each

edition. Cambridge editions fall into two categories: traditional settings created in the days of hot-metal composition and

modern settings created using digital fonts selected to replicate the best characteristics

of the familiar metal Bible typefaces. In effect the older KJV settings such as the

Concord, Pitt Minion, or Cameo Reference are “facsimiles” of the original editions

created many years ago.

Accuracy in printing is more assured when presses are run at slower speeds than for mass-market books or Bibles,

but this process inevitably has an implication for pricing. There are differences in running speed even

within the Cambridge list, but generally Cambridge Bibles are printed on presses running more slowly, and therefore more

accurately, than is the norm elsewhere.

PrintingThe appearance of the printed page is a good

indication of the quality of both the printing and the paper. The position of the type on the page and the width of the margins should be uniform throughout. All letters should be sharp and clear and the inking should be even and uniform on all pages. In red-letter Bibles the register (the relative position of the red and black type on the page) should be correct and consistent.

In the best Bibles, the text is designed so that

with accurate line-on-line printing (where one line exactly matches the position of a line of text on the reverse side) show-through is minimized, even when using the thinnest papers.

Another measure of printing quality is whether the pages are printed in the correct grain direction rather than cross-grain. As a simple test, run a finger along the inner margins of the book: if the pages are smooth to the touch, the book is printed long-grain; if rough or crinkled, it is probably printed short-grain. Printing in the correct grain direction improves the ease with which the pages may be turned as well as their appearance, and also has an effect on the quality of the gilding. (The short-grain edges of the book will appear wavy, and this effect is highlighted by gilding).

Sewing and BindingTo make a fine Bible demands more than skill in

design and printing alone. If a Bible is to last and if its appearance and handling qualities are to satisfy, it must be bound in high-quality materials with care and craftsmanship. Cambridge Bibles are always sewn (not only glued as is often the case elsewhere.) This adds strength and makes them last longer, and it also enables them to stay flat once open. The thread used to sew the pages together is tough but thin, so the reader should always open the pages carefully at first to allow the threads to settle.

Note that all sewn books and Bibles are also glued. The sections are sewn together loosely, then nipped together and glued along the spine (usually with gauze fabric attached) to hold the book block together properly. The glue penetrates a little between the individual sections, but the advantage of a sewn book is that the individual pages are not separately attached only by a single thin line of glue to the cover: each page is part of a folded section (‘signature’) of multiple pages; each signature is sewn to all the others; then all the signatures are glued to form a book block before being cased-in to the cover.

In the Cambridge list, the older KJV settings such as the Concord or Cameo show text design at its classic best, albeit

with some small blemishes, perhaps in individual character form, inherent in the process of converting printing

images created for letterpress printing into lithographic plates. These minor

imperfections are a feature of “facsimile” reproduction, and are not due to flawed

printing.

Cambridge Bibles within a particular edition all use the same basic sewn book

block as one another, so the less costly binding styles all offer the same quality

of paper and printing process as the top-of-the-range fine bindings. For example, the hardback wide-margin editions are

all printed on the same high-quality Bible paper, in the correct grain direction, and fully sewn to the same standards as the

edge-lined goatskin styles.

The quality of any Bible depends primarily on the materials and the processes used in manufacture, as well as the more immediately apparent factors such as text design and layout. The following

offers a few guidance pointers for prospective customers looking for a fine Bible.

Attaching the case to the book-block

There are two methods of casing-in a fine Bible: one (“paste-off”) is a semi-automated process of glueing the cover to the endpapers of the book-block, while “edge-lined” is a hand-craft process using a cover that is more flexible and also gives a firm attachment of cover to book. The hand-made edge-lined cover is attached to the book block by means of a flap (of an inch or so in width) of the inner cover material being glued to the endpapers of the book. Because these covers are hand-made, no two will look exactly the same.

The cover—the final stage that creates the first impression

The cover material used in Bible binding not only affects one’s initial aesthetic response—both visual and tactile—but in the longer run also determines the durability of the book itself. The customer should weigh all these factors when considering a purchase.

Except in Lectern Bibles or other bindings deliberately stiffened by the incorporation of a board between the outer cover and the lining, covers should be reasonably flexible, but at the same time should lie flat. The overlap protects the gilded edges. It should be of fairly uniform width all round the book, and the corners should be well rounded, smoothed down and firmly glued. The lining should adhere evenly all over the cover and be positioned so as to leave a uniform width of the turned-in outer cover showing all round. Usually, a pattern or graining is artificially applied to leather during its manufacture.

Additional features and decoration of a “fine” Bible

Gilt Edges and BlockingMany Cambridge Bibles and Prayer Books are

decorated with metallic (usually gold- or silver-colored) foil on their covers and on the edges of their paper. The edges are trimmed and sanded, and the corners are evenly rounded, so that when the book is closed these page edges should show as a solid and smooth metallic surface. The material used in this process gives a rich, bright, and attractive finish to the book. Some Bibles have “art-gilt” edges, when a red dye and gilt foil combine to add richness and luster to the book.

Ribbon markersRibbon markers allow readers to keep a place

in the text while looking up cross-references, perhaps, or to mark a particular passage to which they will return. At Cambridge, care is

taken in choosing ribbon markers. Strong ribbons of appropriate breadth for the size of each Bible are selected, so that they will not curl up, become thready or stringy, or, in extreme cases, cut through the

thin Bible pages. A generous length is specified, too, so that the ribbons do not get lost within the pages. If the Bible is one of the larger volumes or perhaps one of the top-of-the-range goatskin bindings it may have two ribbons, and the Lectern Bibles all have three ribbons, to allow marking of different readings.

Head– and tailbandsHeadbands appear at the top of the spine and

tailbands at the bottom. Formerly, they were sewn onto the book block and protected the spine from damage when the Bible was taken from densely stocked shelves. Nowadays, they are added as a decorative item to all fine-bound Cambridge Bibles, as well as to many hardcovers, and the colors are chosen to complement the shade of material and gilding used in the binding.

Cambridge uses a range of leathers, with different grains appropriate to the size of each book. To maintain the fine quality

for which it is renowned, Cambridge ensures that the utmost care is taken in choosing leather from around the world

and that each hide is carefully scrutinized before being used. Of course, however it is processed, leather is a natural product so each leather-bound Bible is unique—especially noticeable when natural grain

goatskin or calfskin leather is used.

Edge-lined Paste-off

Cover MaterialsNowadays Cambridge Bibles may be bound in hardcover or faux leather (bonded or imitation), or in various grades of real leather. The finest Bibles are bound in goatskin, a material used in traditional bookbinding for over four thousand years.

Real leatherReal leather is taken from an animal hide. “Split” refers to the underside

of the hide; the other side, “top grain,” is superior and more expensive.

Goatskin A beautiful and very durable top-quality leather. Traditionally known

as “Morocco” leather, it is strong yet supple and is used in the finest bindings.

The best goatskins for bookbinding come from arid areas where environmental conditions are ideal for producing hides with the necessary balance of strength and suppleness. Here they are partially tanned using the same vegetable materials and methods that have been used for several thousand years.

Calfskin A traditional high-quality leather used in fine bindings. It is long-lasting

and its suppleness increases with use. The finest calfskin is renowned for its distinctive natural grain and rich color shading, features that make every Bible unique.

Calf split leather A superior grade to French Morocco leather, tanned to approach the

quality and feel of full grain calfskin leather.

French Morocco leather Slightly thinner than other grades and therefore relatively flexible and

soft even when new. A French Morocco binding offers high-quality real leather at an economical price.

Faux leather Modern technology has provided the binder with an impressive new

range of moderately priced materials, which are nevertheless attractive to look at and handle, and wear very well indeed.

Bonded leather This may be made from a combination of materials: leather fibers and

bonding resin, and—with inferior grades—sometimes other materials such as card and paper. The materials used will determine appearance and longevity: not all Bible bindings described as “bonded leather” will be of equal quality.

Imitation leatherAn attractive cover material with some visual and tactile resemblance to

real leather, but at a lower price. May often be very colorful and highly decorative, and is very flexible.

Cambridge uses this term for leather taken from a split hide, traditionally sheepskin but now often calf or cowhide.

Cambridge top-of-the-range bindings use goatskinsfinished in the United Kingdom.

Cambridge Bibles in this category use the best quality material available: bonded leather made from 100% cowhide leather

fibers recycled and reconstituted with a strong resin bonding.

The best quality is sometimes known as “top grain” calfskin in the US. This refers to the retention of the strongest part of the

hide. Some Bible publishers use cheaper grades of split calfskin, which lack the subtle qualities of the best material but are otherwise similar in appearance. Properly, they should be identified as such by

using a different name to distinguish a split from top grain.

Cambridge Clarion Bibles are ingeniously designed to deliver a rare combination of readability and portability. They achieve this by using a modern digital font that, like the traditional Bible typefaces of the past, is clear and easy to read even when set in a modest type size (just under 9 point). The generous line spacing also contributes to the legibility.

Clarion Bibles have two special features: the Bible text is not divided into columns, but runs right across the page, with the cross- references in the outer margin of the page. Their other distinction is that they use paragraph format, rather than starting every verse on a new line. Both of these typesetting devices make the text very readable and natural.

These Bibles incorporate 15 color maps and a concordance. They are bound in a choice of superior materials: calf split leather, top-grain calfskin and edge-lined goatskin.

The New King James Version modernizes the KJV while preserving the latter’s dignified style and word order. The New Testament follows the same Greek text as the KJV. The revisers’ aim has been “to preserve the original intended purity of the KJV in its communication of God’s Word to man.”

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

1 The book of the a genealogy1 of JesusChrist, b the Son of David, c the Son of

Abraham:2d Abraham begot Isaac, e Isaac begot Ja-

cob, and Jacob begot f Judah and his broth-ers. 3g Judah begot Perez and Zerah byTamar, h Perez begot Hezron, and Hezronbegot Ram. 4Ram begot Amminadab, Am-minadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshonbegot Salmon. 5Salmon begot i Boaz byRahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obedbegot Jesse, 6and j Jesse begot David theking.

k David the king begot Solomon by her2who had been the wife of Uriah. 7l Solomonbegot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot m A-bijah, and Abijah begot 3Asa. 8Asa begotn Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram,and Joram begot o Uzziah. 9Uzziah begotJotham, Jotham begot p Ahaz, and Ahazbegot Hezekiah. 10q Hezekiah begot Ma-nasseh, Manasseh begot 4Amon, and Amonbegot r Josiah. 11s Josiah begot 5Jeconiahand his brothers about the time they weret carried away to Babylon.

12And after they were brought to Bab-ylon, u Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealti-el begot v Zerubbabel. 13Zerubbabel begotAbiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakimbegot Azor. 14Azor begot Zadok, Zadokbegot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud. 15E-liud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan,and Matthan begot Jacob. 16And Jacobbegot Joseph the husband of w Mary, ofwhom was born Jesus who is called Christ.

17So all the generations from Abraham toDavid are fourteen generations, from Daviduntil the captivity in Babylon are fourteengenerations, and from the captivity in Bab-ylon until the Christ are fourteen genera-tions.

Christ Born of Mary18Now the x birth of Jesus Christ was as

follows: After His mother Mary was be-trothed to Joseph, before they came togeth-er, she was found with child y of the HolySpirit. 19Then Joseph her husband, being6a just man, and not wanting z to make her apublic example, was minded to put heraway secretly. 20But while he thoughtabout these things, behold, an angel of theLord appeared to him in a dream, saying,“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid totake to you Mary your wife, a for that whichis 7conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21b And she will bring forth a Son, and youshall call His name 8JESUS, c for He will saveHis people from their sins.”

22So all this was done that it might befulfilled which was spoken by the Lordthrough the prophet, saying: 23d “Behold,9the virgin shall be with child, and bear aSon, and they shall call His name Immanu-el,” which is translated, “God with us.”

24Then Joseph, being aroused fromsleep, did as the angel of the Lord com-manded him and took to him his wife,25and 1did not know her till she hadbrought forth e her2 firstborn Son. And hecalled His name JESUS.

Wise Men from the East

2 Now after a Jesus was born in Bethle-hem of Judea in the days of Herod the

king, behold, 1wise men b from the Eastcame to Jerusalem, 2saying, c “Where is Hewho has been born King of the Jews? For wehave seen d His star in the East and havecome to worship Him.”

3When Herod the king heard this, he wastroubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4Andwhen he had gathered all e the chief priestsand f scribes of the people together, g he in-quired of them where the Christ was to beborn.

5So they said to him, “In Bethlehem ofJudea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

6 ‘ Buth you, Bethlehem, in the land ofJudah,

Are not the least among the rulers ofJudah;

For out of you shall come a Ruleri Who will shepherd My people

Israel.’ ”

7Then Herod, when he had secretlycalled the 2wise men, determined fromthem what time the j star appeared. 8Andhe sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Goand search carefully for the young Child,

‘Like trying to hold water in my hands ... that’s what my first experience with the Cambridge Wide-Margin Reference Bible was like. I expected the goatskin cover to be flexible, but this was ridiculous. Ridiculously good, that is. Wherever it wasn’t supported by my hand, this Bible gracefully plunged toward the floor, almost like it was wet. I half expected it to be dripping, but of course it wasn’t. That’s the illusion a fine, flexible binding can give. It was the best Cambridge binding I’ve ever witnessed, and one of the best Bibles I’ve ever handled, period.’J.

Solomon Worships at Gibeon

1 a Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, b and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly

great.2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the c commanders of thousands

and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the heads of fathers’ houses. 3 And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to d the high place that was at Gibeon, e for f the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness, was there. 4 g (But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.) 5 Moreover, h the bronze altar that i Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Solomon and the assembly j sought it 1 out. 6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tent of meeting, k and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

Solomon Prays for Wisdom7 l In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask

what I shall give you.” 8 And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great and steadfast love to David my father, m and have made me king in his place. 9 O Lord God, n let your word to David my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous o as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge to p go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?” 11 God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked q possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowl-edge for yourself that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you q riches, possessions, and honor, r such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.” 13 So Solomon came from 2 the s high place at Gibeon, from before t the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem. And he reigned over Israel.

was so. 31vAnd God saw everything that hehad made, and behold, it was very good.And there was evening and there wasmorning, the sixth day.

The Seventh Day, God Rests

2 Thus the heavens and the earth werefinished, and wall the host of them.

2And xon the seventh day God finished hiswork that he had done, and he rested on theseventh day from all his work that he haddone. 3So God blessed the seventh day andmade it holy, because on it God rested fromall his work that he had done in creation.

The Creation of Man and Woman4 y These are the generations

of the heavens and the earth whenthey were created,

in the day that the Lord God madethe earth and the heavens.

5When no zbush of the field1 was yet inthe land1 and no small plant of the fieldhad yet sprung up—for the Lord God hadnot caused it to rain on the land, and therewas no man ato work the ground, 6and amist1 was going up from the land and waswatering the whole face of the ground—7then the Lord God formed the man ofbdust from the ground and cbreathed intohis dnostrils the breath of life, and ethe manbecame a living creature. 8And the LordGod planted a fgarden in Eden, in the east,and there he put the man whom he hadformed. 9And out of the ground the LordGod made to spring up every tree that ispleasant to the sight and good for food.gThe tree of life was in the midst of the gar-den, hand the tree of the knowledge of goodand evil.

10A river flowed out of Eden to water thegarden, and there it divided and becamefour rivers. 11The name of the first is the Pi-shon. It is the one that flowed around thewhole land of iHavilah, where there is gold.12And the gold of that land is good; bdelli-um and onyx stone are there. 13The name ofthe second river is the Gihon. It is the onethat flowed around the whole land of Cush.14And the name of the third river is the jTi-gris, which flows east of Assyria. And thefourth river is the Euphrates.

15The Lord God took the man kand puthim in the garden of Eden to work it andkeep it. 16And the Lord God commandedthe man, saying, “You may surely eat ofevery tree of the garden, 17but of the tree ofthe knowledge of good and evil lyou shallnot eat, for in the day that you eat1 of it youmshall surely die.”

18Then the Lord God said, “It is not

good that the man should be alone; nI willmake him a helper fit for1 him.” 19oNowout of the ground the Lord God hadformed1 every beast of the field and everybird of the heavens and pbrought them tothe man to see what he would call them.And whatever the man called every livingcreature, that was its name. 20The man gavenames to all livestock and to the birds of theheavens and to every beast of the field. Butfor Adam1 there was not found a helper fitfor him. 21So the Lord God caused a qdeepsleep to fall upon the man, and while heslept took one of his ribs and closed up itsplace with flesh. 22And the rib that theLord God had taken from the man hemade1 into a woman and brought her tothe man. 23Then the man said,

“ This at last is rbone of my bonesand flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called Woman,because she was staken out of

Man.”1

24tTherefore a man shall leave his fatherand his mother and hold fast to his wife,and they shall become one flesh. 25And theman and his wife were both naked andwere not ashamed.

The Fall

3 Now uthe serpent was more crafty thanany other beast of the field that the

Lord God had made.He said to the woman, “Did God actually

say, ‘You1 shall not eat of any tree in the gar-den’?” 2And the woman said to the serpent,“We may eat of the fruit of the trees in thegarden, 3but God said, v‘You shall not eat ofthe fruit of the tree that is in the midst ofthe garden, neither shall you touch it, lestyou die.’” 4wBut the serpent said to thewoman, “You will not surely die. 5For Godknows that when you eat of it your eyes willbe opened, and you will be like God, know-ing good and evil.” 6So when the womansaw that the tree was good for food, andthat it was a delight to the eyes, and that thetree was to be desired to make one wise,1she took of its fruit xand ate, and she alsogave some to her husband who was withher, yand he ate. 7zThen the eyes of bothwere opened, aand they knew that theywere naked. And they sewed fig leaves to-gether and made themselves loincloths.

The Creation of the World

1 In the abeginning, God created theheavens and the earth. 2The earth was

bwithout form and void, and darkness wasover the face of the deep. And the Spirit ofGod was hovering over the face of the wa-ters.

3And God said, c“Let there be light,” andthere was light. 4And God saw that thelight was good. And God separated thelight from the darkness. 5God called thelight Day, and the darkness he called Night.And there was evening and there wasmorning, the first day.

6And God said, d“Let there be an ex-panse1 in the midst of the waters, and let itseparate the waters from the waters.” 7AndGod made1 the expanse and eseparated thewaters that were under the expanse fromthe waters that were fabove the expanse.And it was so. 8And God called the expanseHeaven.1 And there was evening and therewas morning, the second day.

9And God said, g“Let the waters underthe heavens be gathered together into oneplace, and let the dry land appear.” And itwas so. 10God called the dry land Earth,1and the waters that were gathered togetherhe called Seas. And God saw that it wasgood.

11And God said, h“Let the earth sproutvegetation, plants1 yielding seed, and fruittrees bearing fruit in which is their seed,each according to its kind, on the earth.”And it was so. 12The earth brought forthvegetation, plants yielding seed accordingto their own kinds, and trees bearing fruitin which is their seed, each according to itskind. And God saw that it was good. 13Andthere was evening and there was morning,the third day.

14And God said, “Let there be lights inthe expanse of the heavens to separate theday from the night. And let them be forisigns and for jseasons,1 and for days andyears, 15and let them be lights in the ex-panse of the heavens to give light upon theearth.” And it was so. 16And God kmade thetwo great lights—the greater light to rulethe day and the lesser light to rule thenight—and the stars. 17And God set them inthe expanse of the heavens to give light onthe earth, 18to lrule over the day and overthe night, and to separate the light fromthe darkness. And God saw that it wasgood. 19And there was evening and therewas morning, the fourth day.

20And God said, “Let the waters swarmwith swarms of living creatures, and letbirds1 fly above the earth across the expanseof the heavens.” 21So mGod created the greatsea creatures and every living creature thatmoves, with which the waters swarm, ac-cording to their kinds, and every wingedbird according to its kind.And God saw thatit was good. 22And God blessed them, say-ing, n“Be fruitful and multiply and fill thewaters in the seas, and let birds multiply onthe earth.” 23And there was evening andthere was morning, the fifth day.

24And God said, “Let the earth bringforth living creatures according to theirkinds—livestock and creeping things andbeasts of the earth according to theirkinds.” And it was so. 25And God made thebeasts of the earth according to their kindsand the livestock according to their kinds,and everything that creeps on the groundaccording to its kind. And God saw that itwas good.

26Then God said, o“Let us make man1 inour image, pafter our likeness. And qletthem have dominion over the fish of the seaand over the birds of the heavens and overthe livestock and over all the earth and overevery creeping thing that creeps on theearth.”

27 So God created man in his ownimage,

in the image of God he created him;r male and female he created them.

28And God blessed them.And God said tothem, s“Be fruitful and multiply and fillthe earth and subdue it and have dominionover the fish of the sea and over the birds ofthe heavens and over every living thing thatmoves on the earth.” 29And God said, “Be-hold, I have given you every plant yieldingseed that is on the face of all the earth, andevery tree with seed in its fruit. tYou shallhave them for food. 30And uto every beast ofthe earth and to every bird of the heavensand to everything that creeps on the earth,everything that has the breath of life, I havegiven every green plant for food.” And it

The Temptation of Jesus

4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilder-ness to be tempted by the devil. 2He fasted for forty

days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished.3The tempter came and said to him, ‘If you are the Son ofGod, command these stones to become loaves of bread.’4But he answered, ‘It is written,

“One does not live by bread alone,but by every word that comes from the mouth of

God.” ’5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed

him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6saying to him, ‘If youare the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written,

“He will command his angels concerning you”,and “On their hands they will bear you up,

so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.” ’7Jesus said to him, ‘Again it is written, “Do not put theLord your God to the test.” ’

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountainand showed him all the kingdoms of the world and theirsplendour; 9and he said to him, ‘All these I will give you,if you will fall down and worship me.’ 10Jesus said to him,‘Away with you, Satan! for it is written,

“Worship the Lord your God,and serve only him.” ’

11Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came andwaited on him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry in Galilee

12 Now when Jesus a heard that John had beenarrested, he withdrew to Galilee. 13He left Nazareth andmade his home in Capernaum by the lake, in the territoryof Zebulun and Naphtali, 14so that what had been spokenthrough the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:15 ‘Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali,

on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee ofthe Gentiles—

16 the people who sat in darknesshave seen a great light,

and for those who sat in the region and shadow ofdeath

light has dawned.’17From that time Jesus began to proclaim, ‘Repent, forthe kingdom of heaven has come near.’b

The Heritage Edition commemorates the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible—two of the most significant works in the English language. Between them, these two precious texts have infused and shaped our language, with their words and phrases enriching not only the language of prayer but the speech of everyday life.

This edition unites the Bible and Prayer Book by binding them together in one volume: the Prayer Book at the front, followed by the Bible.

There are two ribbons to mark the reader’s place, and three binding styles: black or purple calf split leather, and blue hardcover.

The New Testament translated by William Tyndale, 1534William Tyndale’s seminal contribution to the development of the Bible in English is now universally recognized. Translating directly from the Hebrew and Greek scriptures, he produced a text of enduring quality that became the foundation of successive Bible translations in English from the 16th century to the present day.

This edition was originally produced for the Royal Society of Literature to commemorate the four hundredth anniversary of Tyndale’s martyrdom. It presents his 1534 revision of the New Testament, incorporating his prefaces and notes; and it includes the variants from his original 1525 edition, with an introduction by Isaac Foot that describes both the huge religious and cultural impact of this text and the importance of the revisions Tyndale made to his own works: ‘If Tyndale had not lived to revise some passages, we might never have had in our English speech some cadences which are dearest in our memory’.

The Authorised Version of the English Bible 1611The original text of the 1611 KJV is rarely seen, as most editions are based on revisions of the text by printers and editors.

In 1909, Cambridge scholar William Aldis Wright represented the original text of the first edition, showing its variations from the second edition, also printed in 1611. The text is presented in a single column, with the notes and references in the margin. The original running heads and chapter summaries are reproduced.

This edition includes a list of variations between both 1611 printings – a feature that no conventional facsimile can offer.
