The King James Version ERV (easy to read) is a translation named after King James I of England who commissioned the new English Bible translation in 1604 A.D. King James ‘authorized’ the new translation to be read in churches in England and beyond after it was first published in 1611 A.D. Later known as the ‘Authorized Version’ in 1814, the King James Version became a standard among English-speaking Christians.
The King James Version is considered one of the most accurate English translations in existence. A skilled committee of 54 translators worked for 7 years to carefully complete the King James translation project.
The translation is most noted for its poetic feel – prose that seems to flow with a certain rhythmic quality. The book is cited as the most published book in world history with a significant influence on literature and culture. It is estimated that more than 1 billion copies of the King James Version have been published.
The English from the original 1611 published version is noticeably different than the newer 1769 version, as the English has been updated for modern readers. People who are unfamiliar with the English language in the Elizabethan and Jacobean era can easily mistake the 1611 King James Version writing style for spelling errors. The same can be said for other writings of that era as well, for example Beowulf.
It is widely recognized that the King James Version has made a significant impact on the English language and it continues to leave impressions on people and culture.

Just what I needed for my travel.

At first I thought how can this be any different? Well after reading Genesis I can tell immediately this version is perfect for me. Easy to read. Almost like old-school Cliff-Notes but better.

Do you have the versions broken up in Old and New? Also, possibly a searchable way?
